Hi

I am going out into watford boots today where it is quite a big store over two levels, this is my first real tart outing, and wondered what to get. I have 995 points and a £10 voucher?

Have a baby boy of 2 so could get wipes and / or medicine for coughs as both mine have one.

Some help please would really like some freebie and extra points!

Also could someone send me the clinique voucher?

Thank you

Carli

Hi Carli

When I was in this Boots on Thursday, there was a small display, near the lift, at the top of the stairs, with clearance items. There were toiletries and hair stuff on one side, and baby things on the other. It is worth trying the Clinique freebie, just in case they have had any more come in, because I was told I had the last one the week before last.

Can someone tell me what are the £19.50 gift sets are they BOGOF and as someone said they are scanning as free can i still get them and two lilac bags plus other shopping because someone else said they paid with the £16 voucher well if they are scanning as free why do you need to pay or was that for the other shopping in the basket

Thanks Netty. I bought some of those little Natural Collection £3.99 bags on BOGOF a few weeks ago. They made really nice gifts and will be even better at £1. Also, talking of Natural Collection, out of interest, there is a nice pink bag with three bottles and some other bits in, it is £6.99 in some Boots and £11.99 in others. It annoys me everytime I see if for £11.99 and think someone might be wasting £5 so easily!

£11.99 in one shop and £6.99 in another :eek: that is a disgrace - how do they work that one out?

Didn't get chance to type my haul before so here goes: -

Med Bergamot Gift Set - £8.00
Med Almond Gift Set - £6.00 - Free on BOGOF
USED BOGOF VOUCHER - £6.00

Natural Collection Heart Sampler Set - £3.99
Natural Collection Heart Sampler Set - £3.99 - Free on BOGOF
Used save a 3rd on NC voucher - took off £2.68 (=£1.31 to pay for the two! - don' know how that worked out but hey ho!)

No 7 Upl. Day Cream - £15 - Free with Voucher + lilac bag
Huggies Nappies x 3 = £4.99 + £4.99 (size 3) and £5.51 (size 4) - £4.99 as 3 for 2 - £2.00 off huggies voucher) = £8.50

Head & Shoulders Shampoo for DD - £1.76
Baby Starter Pack - rrp £24.99 (yeah right!) - Free with voucher

Boots 5 min. Hair Mask - £4.99 - Free with voucher

Med. Sooth Essence Preg. Bath Soak - £4.99(ish) - Free with voucher

POINTS RECEIVED - 83
DOUBLE POINTS COUPON - 83
PARENTING CLUB POINTS - 28
TOTAL POINTS - 194

and - 1 x £5 No. 7 Voucher

Could of saved £2 if bought two of the same Med. gift sets but wanted one of each!

Then I took 250 points out of lilac bag and got 1 No. 7 hair spritz at £5.50 and 1 x body buffer at £5.50 BOGOF - used £5 voucher = 50p (off gift card) and used 250 points aswell!

Then I got 2 Oral B electric toothbrushes half price from £24.99 to £12.49 - for me and OH with my points!

SA couldn't believe it and said what good deals you get from having a baby, I joked back and said - yes it's worth having another one for that isn't it!!

Left Boots with 4 carrier bags full and never used my debit card - OH couldn't believe it!

To top it off I no have enough points today for another piggy back £10 Boots voucher !

(Might change my signature to EXPERT BOOTS TART! (what do you think!)

Hope you could keep up & Hope this helps someone! :cool:

Got no idea about the Watford boots cos it's not my neck of the woods!
However my advice would be buy the medicine with extra points first with your voucher, cos then you'll have more points to spend on your card. Have a look at the first post in this thread. Liverbird updates all the current bargains there - see if there's anything else that's of use to you.:

Sadly the extra points offer with meds has finished with the Tixylix etc etc. Might be some new offers instore though.

I've just been reading your advice on the pregnancy vouchers and i still cant get my head around the mediterranean vouchers (it's been a long day!! ). Is the med. range currently on BOGOF in store? I'm assuming that you have all been taking 2 med. products to the til, the til then deducts 1 product as free (store BOGOF) and then use the BOGOF voucher from the mailing to fool the til into giving the 2nd product free? Im a bit worried Boots have cottoned onto this glitch and dont want to try it incase it doesnt work especially on a busy Saturday! Do you all use the £5 med voucher on a separate product another time? All sounds very promising if ive got it right

That is right - I did it all together but I cannot see why you couldn't use them seperately - i.e get two normal Med. products with the BOGOF voucher first and then get the pregnancy Med. one at another time if you wanted to!

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

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;)

Thanks for that GK - I have another £5 voucher plus a few 250 points , so will nip to the centre today and see what I can get - trying to boost poits to buy a digital camera! What was the skincare mouse?
