    Hiya,

    Spotted nice little offer in Boots late yesterday afternoon. On the shelf of reduced items they had little packs of the Sanctuary Treat Your Hands Sachets. The little pack includes 3 sachets - Hand Wash & Soak, Hand Sugar Scrub, and Hand Cream SPF15. They are usually £2.50 each, reduced to 60p, and when I got to the till, they went through on the Sanctuary 3 for 2 offer as well! So got 3 packs for £1.20 - was quite chuffed!

    The picture on the Boots website just shows the 3 sachets, but they come in a nice little clear box.

    Happy shopping!

    Sam

    The voucher as I understand it is for when you buy a brita filter jug of some description. Most of these are likely to have a value greater than £5. Using a voucher when not buying a Brita jug could see you legitimately land in court if Boots took a serious enough stance (this is probably unlikely though I have to say, but did see a teenage girl in handcuffs in boots today, most likely filling her pockets with goods.)

    I can understand the Skin Clear 89p face mask glitch as the voucher offered was for this product range and it is Boots's error.

    But PEOPLE *INTENTIONALLY* USING VOUCHERS FOR AN ITEM THEY ARE *NOT* PURCHASING (simply because they get 500 points out of the deal) IS JUST PLAIN *WRONG*.

    Yes Boots made the tills accept the voucher no matter what is purchased, but I presume there is a technical reason for this and Boots SA's are supposed to check. Ok so the SA's fault for not checking, but still abusing a system for monetary gain.

    I would say taking advantage of the "glitch" is pretty much the same as altering a price label, or take for example the scam mentioned in the following link.

    No lilac bags in Bridge of Dee, Aberdeen. I did spend over £15 in No7 suncare so do you think i should email Boots CS and complain that there were no bags to be had??
