    The No7 Suncare BOGOF is still on today in Croydon.

    Just to add my 2 pennorth worth to the debate.
    In my local Boots today. All the sun creams are located together, with odd smattering of suncare displays around the store. MOST of sun creams today seemed to have BOGOF all over them - EXCEPT No 7 !! - which shows the free gift temptingly above.
    BUT, I noticed that further along the racking, underneath OTHER makes of sun cream, is a shelf edge trim advertising BOGOF and listing NO7. So I asked sa who was refilling shelves, pointing out this trim which said No7 was on bogof,and she said NO, No 7 NOT included in BOGOF - is an old trim SHE hadn't removed yet.
    Elsewhere in store saw another sun cream display with a few items of No 7 sun cream, again saying BOGOF, and further along some on 342 !!!!!
    SO, feeling confused, but wanting the free gift I took 2 No7 sun creams to the till to do a price enquiry - she put both thru - both FULL PRICE, NO BOGOF !!
    Wish Boots had Tescos R&R policy - shelf trim clearly said No7 was on BOGOF !:mad:
    May get to another branch later in week, and will check it out there just in case;)

    I got 2 of the £19.50 sets today and 2 of the free boxes. They were advertised as on BOGOF BUT I used parenting voucher, expecting to get both free, but only one came off as free.
    Now I am wondering if BOGOF wasnt working or if it was and thats why the voucher didnt work.
    Think I may return them.


    did get the pink med bag though free.

    Not much help to those with parenting vouchers, but I went into Kensington High St Boots today and the No 7 SA said all No 7 skincare was 3 for 2. So buy three skincare products for about £7.50 or so each, get one of them free and also get the geisha box free. I'd imagine the 3 for 2 would be on in most Boots stores.

    I had a look at the Geisha box. It is indeed a similar offering to the last one. And why do they always put in the most dull makeup colours? Every single free lipstick I've ever had almost matched my natural lip colour so there is no point wearing it! *sigh*

    This happened to me a few months ago and I phoned up head office as the SA had made me feel really embarrassed for questioning the offer sign and even reported that the manager said no to the offer, the sign was old and should have been taken down, I said that they should honour the purchase as advertised as it was not me at fault . Head office made the store manager phone me to apologise and invite me in to take up the offer that they had earlier declined me. Head office said that it was bad practice on their behalf and that they should remove signs promptly if they did not want this to happen again.

    I went into my local boots yesterday and bought a waterproof mascara/concealer and a foundation that was reduced. I paid with my advantage card points unaware that paying this way disqualified me from receiving the free gift.
    I was very annoyed, but as I was having a 'down' day I left it at that.
    When I was in another shop I realised that she had'nt sold me the foundation at a reduced price so I went back to boots and asked the assistant to give me back my points as I would pay with cash, so I eventually got the gift.

    She was very nice. and it cheered me up!!
