Boots Grabbit Bargains Part 54 - Post your finds here

astrocat

Don't know whether I am stating the obvious, so sorry if I am, but No7 is back on 3 for 2:T
I have the line lift and highlights vouchers, so I presume that if I get an item of makeup (e.g. the eye pallete @ £9.30) , the line lift and highlights powder, I will only pay £6.xx (1/2 price line lift)? And, with a following wind, can get the GWP as well!
Is there a fatal flaw in my plan?

EMJ2 - where is the clearance in CMK - I can never find it! I find the bletchley retail park Boots best for clearance items around here.

Not much happning at the mo... but found some great bargains. Purchased the following which @ 1 store didn't have the reduced tags so I was able to snatch them!:p

Mediterranean Maternity Massage Butter (this) - 200ml @ £1.25;
Mediterranean Maternity Nourish & Revitalise Minis (this) @ £2;
Mediterranean Maternity Nourishing Bath Milk - 500ml (this) @ 75p;
Mediterranean Maternity Reviatlising Wash - 200ml (this) @ 50p;

With my Grazia mag coupons purchased the Mela body butter/free scrub using the instore voucher 2!! (Thanks to Need a Break 4 the reminder!!). The salt scrubs were all out of stock! Wonder how many were @ the back room!:rolleyes: However, what I didn't expect was the SS tills now 'shouting' the coupon savings!!!:eek: So when I used the Grazia coupon it shouted '£8.95 savings' & the tills were set with the max volume!!!:eek: Even if the SS SA was not very attentive she'd b by the time the till finished 'shouting' all my savings!!:eek: And 2 top it up the transaction needed 2b authorized!:eek: But was on my lucky day as the SA came & without looking 2 much into it just authorized the transaction!!! I also got the £5 fragrance vouchers...

I also used the Method coupons on the Method Kids items so these became free! Oh, how I love free stuff!!! Even when I haven't got storage space, lol!:rotfl: But it would be a sacrilege not 2 buy them...:o:D Again, with the middle aged SAs one has 2b careful as they don't like to give free stuff lol!!!:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Well the 2 stores I visited y'day both had the tills programmed as such! I was so shocked!!! The till literally shouts ones savings & even when the store is busy the SS SA can keep an eye on 1... especially if 1 is known 2 go 4 bargains!!!:eek::D I was ever so conscious! Also worth mentioning is that on n e pts coupons the SS tills still say 'deposit coupon' but both my vouchers had the values 'shouted' loud & clear 4 n e 1 to hear! As I mentioned 2 DD now it only needs 2 'shout' the total amount 1 has 2 pay!!!!:eek: Can u imagine?!:eek: So 4 my following transaction:

Mela Body Butter £7.29
Mela Scrub £5.82 (s/be free with instore voucher but this only takes off £5.49 so technically not free!)
Body Butter 50ml £2.20 (this so the till didn't end up giving me change!!)
Now imagine if the SS tills shouted the amount I had 2 pay! 'Total to pay 87p!!!' My worst nightmare?!:eek:

It tends to move around but for the past few weeks it's been halfway down the shampoo aisle (I think - certainly that area, if not that aisle!!!)

Just been to two Boots on a hunt for the Sanctuary Salt Scrub - the first store didn't even have a SEL (just a big gap where it should've been!) & no SA's around to ask. Small clearance area had some KOS, Fish & Charles Worthington (mens) hair & shaving products (around £1-£2 each) & some incontinence pants!

Went to a 2nd store, not much in the way of clearance, random hairclips & foot scrub (Still almost £3, so not much in way of a saving). They also had some camera cases (£6), self-laminating photocards (£1.49) & some various USB pensticks. Grabbed this pink lipstick 2gb USB for £2.39 (£9.74 on .com).

Asked a passing SA about the Salt Scrub & she started going on about a previous customer just taking the 3 off the shelf & using 3 coupons to buy them - when I nodded, she looked down her nose & said "Oh, have you got a coupon too?" when I said yes, she said she'd go & check in the back & disappeared for a nano-second, before coming back to say that there weren't any more (suprise, surprise!) & I'd have to wait for their next delivery in the week (by which time the voucher will have expired, no doubt!). I mentioned "a friend" having been allowed to buy another Sanctuary scrub & she didn't respond, so when she walked away, I grabbed a Kyphi Sugar Scrub & thought I'd chance it! When I got to the tills, guess who was the next SA free?! Luckily, the man infront of me went to her & I had to go to the till next to her, whilst she glowered at me! I waited for her to say something, but she didn't. The lovely SA who served me looked at the coupon & said "I think this is the wrong item, but just let me check if it'll go through" & it did!! She even asked if I minded paying the difference, as the Kyphi is £9.74 & it only took the £8.95 off! I thought I'd pushed my luck far enough as it was & told her not to worry about the 79p!! So, in total, it cost me £3.18 for almost £20 of stuff, I earned 48 points & gained a Fragrance voucher! Bargain!! The only one I've had in Boots for atleast a fortnight!

Hope this rain soon clears up! Can't beleive the difference since last weekend! Mr Boots must be rubbing his hands together, though, cos many more people seem to be in the shops in this wet weather than when it was sunny!

Hi all:D I'm really annoyed that No7 is now on 3 4 2:mad: I bought a foundation last week and could've got another item for free:rolleyes: Mind you, I didn't see the current GWP, only the mens one (which is an older GWP)

Anyway, I didn't do too badly today so I cannot complain:DI found some mini desktop photo calendars reduced to 25p and used 200points ACM voucher:j
Still plenty of KOS shave serum on shelf. I got a few of these too with KOS mocs.

I really need to have a rest from bootsing. I've got way too much stuff:o

Anyone heard from the lovely mini? I haven't seen him post on here for a while

I love the Kyphi srub but dont buy it because its sooo expensive but today got 2 and paid .79p each with 2 vouchers, I thought if the SA said it was the wrong item I was just going to act dumb, but she never so I was well pleased.:T

and if I get another voucher I am going to try Mum2Hannah's suggestion of Mela Scrub £5.82 & Body Butter 50ml £2.20 :T

I picked up my Salt Scrub today-smells delicious. I got it from Brent Cross, there were several others left. I think one had leaked, though. so they were all quite sticky!

Thanks to all who posted about them.

it's great isn't it:D I used mine last night and it smells gorgeous. I wish I'd bought more than one copy of grazia now:rolleyes:

wanna-b-rich

Just back from Boots. No Sanctuary scrub left but thought as there were ss it would be rude not try the coupon on something else!;)

So I bought:

1 x No7 Highlighter £10
1 x No7 Lipgloss £4.15
1 x No7 Lipgloss free
1 x Sanctuary Spa Foaming Shower Mousse £4.84

Used: 1 x Grazia moc, 1 x ACM free highlighter voucher

Paid: £0.04:D

Also got 36 points
