I just got back from a trip to Boots.

The Oxford circus store had an entire row of the kids packs (at least 50-75), the SA told me what a great deal it was and was on her way over to stock up for herself!

I also returned 6 Skin clear masks as I had a reaction to them. I lost my receipt and was expecting an exchange. I told the manager about the 600 points I receieved with them and he gave me a smile and didn't take them off my card. And instead of an exchange he gave me a giftcard. Brilliant!

OOh, which Boots on Oxford St exactly please? Is it the one opposite HMV on Oxford Street? There are 2 more near Bond St that don't seem to have the kids packs. I haven't seen them in the one near HMV either but will go and have a look again.

thanks.

I met my first Crabby SA today. Deefin avoid Mel in Kettering!

I thought I would make up my spend to £10 to get another No7 voucher.

I bought:

baby wipes (BOGOF),
Easter Eggs (3 for 2),
FCUK deoderant (mistake, should have got the new range and got 100 points from AC machine),
Heinz toddler meal x2 reduced from 99p to 25p each.
2 x No7 Face Aftersun, BOGOF @ £7.50

I put these through the till and was told by the SA that I couldn't have the lilac bag as I hadn't spent £15 on No7. I told her that it worked the other day and asked her to try it. She said that even if it went through that 'we' were out of pocket. She reluctantly tried it and said I could have it this once.

Once she totalled it I gave her a 75pts on a £10 spend. I didn't see her face as DS had pulled all the chocolate off of the stand by the till. I then gave her 250 points from my last lilac bag. Waited till that was through the till then gave over my £5 No.7 voucher.

The transaction came to £12.47 in the end and I had 374 Ad points.

I couldn't get the Pixi Photos done in Boots as DD screamed when she saw the man.


I've worked it out that I got £63.43 worth of products, thank you to everyone who has shared these tips.

Not sure who you mean. The lady with a South African accent refused to refund EI handwash so I went to another till and pointed out the refund policy on the receipt and got the refund. I got a lilac bag last week in Corby, it was a lady around 60yrs old who served me,

Apperently the till still takes it at full price so you could of got a bag, yet still only paid £9.99 minus the voucher.

Boots hamilton ( town centre store) Have some Sanctuary items reduced to £3.25. They are on 3 for 2 as well ! I So good bargain .These are the buring oils ( really nice). Body toner and a bath jar thingy plus a larger oil relaxing set ( boxed so would make a nice pressie). These are at the front of the store to the side of the checkouts.
Also toni + guy gel at £1.50 again on 3 for 2 -so be quick.
They also have reduced fcuk stuff.
I got the sun care set at £5.50 bogof and use the 250 points voucher ( i get them for a charity I volunteer for ) .However the other hamilton store ( RETAIL PARK) dont have any of these sets so dont go there- plus they have no reduced items and staff check EVERYTHING.

S.O.S No boots near me have the pink organisers !
I have tried 4 branches of Boots and nothing.:eek:
Also just to remind you to pick up your Dior freebie, i got mine today , nice and silky, http://www.skywire.co.uk/diorcapture/index.html

I have not got this myself but from reading on here when you put it through the till with a lilac bag it will work.
