    Found in Hull prospect store (in clearance on 2nd floor) Botanics Pore Perfecting foundation 30ml reduced frrom £10 to £1.25. Took 2 to the till and asked if they were on BOGOF, they were!
    They still have No 7 n/v sets and summer pallettes at bottom of escalator, no soltan sets or Avene bags.

    My local boots have been reducing own brand body sprays to half price. So keep an eye out.

    Oh and guess what numpty did today. Managed somehow to mix up my AD cards. One had about £25 on the other 3p. Handed over the 3p one and said could I use my points to pay. Doh had to pay by card :mad:. Made the excuse that I had spent more off my card than I had thought :o . What a wally.

    I felt that I could not go Oh no that is the wrong card. Mind you husband hand over £5 cash to me as part of what I bought was birthday presents. And the whole lot only cost £5.50 :j

    So now have marked my main card with a black mark. Even though one is Miss and the other is Mrs.


    Yours

    Thats happend to me in 2 differant stores first in east kilbride town center and then in the east kilbride/nerston retail park not sure if im going to try it again.

    PS If anyone in the past few days have managed to get this working in any of the above stores could they pm what till they went to and who selved them:p ;)

    Update i braved it today and went into boots town center as i had 2 vouchers burning a hole in my bag, first stop i picked up 2 lilac bags and grabbed the sunkist body moisturiser no7 and added to basket then headed to the no7 suncare and got the aftersun mouse and the face one and picked up a few other things then headed off to the advantage machine to collect voucher for £2 off the moisturiser but all 4 machines had out of order on them but all were on:mad: and sneaked padded the lady on no7 who noticed me and suggested to go to her and she would put things through but i had turned by this time and kept on going and went up to the photo department as all was quiet there

    1 - Mouse aftersun 9.50
    Face aftersun 7.50
    Lilac bag 0.00
    Less £5 voucher - 4.50 to pay :j

    2 - Sunkist Moisturiser 8.50
    Lilac bag:o
    Less £5 voucher - 3.50 to pay

    I had been so stressed and unsure about things i had forgot to lift something else to make 2nd transaction up to £15 but the kind assistant put the lilac bag into my bag (thank you)

    So just goes to show that the tills are still allowing it, its the sales assistants who are telling porkies in stating the tills wont accept this.

    Amanda40 if you read this then a big thank you, you were right;)

    Echo, there are quite a few things mostly Xmas giftset items, but worth a look if you are coming across from Grimsby. There is another store on St Andrews retail park near the ice arena in the city centre which also has a clearance at the back of the store, but I haven't been there in a while so don't know how up to date that is. Someone else on MSE went last week and found the No7 summer organiser, they also have Ad machines at both branches.

    I tries to buy 2 No7 sun lotion things (BOGOF) and a lilac bag today at Pontefract. The SA said sorry these are on BOGOF so you can't have the bag- I was gutted. She seemed really nice and i thought she would let me. Must be somewhere in my area (between Leeds and York) that will let me do this?! I also failed with my points voucher for Skin Clear face pack- no 100 points added-she didn't even tell me it hadn't gone on. Should I complain??
    I'm off to Castleford tomorrow and last week there was a lovely man on the till who would have put through anything-will try him!!
