    Yes it is but what i am saying is its better not getting the 3 for 2 unless you really want the extra item as only saving £2.?? something on it better just getting the eyeshadow Free highlighting powder and forgetting the 3 for 2

    I see what you mean - yes, thats what I did when I spent my highlighter voucher, just bought that and a £2.33 pallette (that was before the 342 started again though, otherwise I would have put in another pallette to get it for free, and no increase on my actual spend).

    My DD's teachers will be getting eye pallettes in their pressies for the next 3 years at this rate :rotfl:!

    Thanks for that, was thinking about getting the Highlighting powder, the line lift 2 no7 pallettes and GWp so it wd be ??

    Do you have the half price line lift voucher too? If you do, then yes this would work, even without the 2nd eye pallette (you'd need the first one to allow the highlighter powder voucher to work though).
    So £13.50 line lift, £10.00 highlighter, £2.33 pallette, GWP will scan free.
    Then use your half price line lift voucher and your free highlighter powder voucher, eye pallette is free anyway as its the cheapest on the 342, so you'd pay £6.75 for the lot :D.

    Was v pleased w my shop yesterday:

    Three KOS items, 342, total cost £2.70
    Line out mini brag book, BOGOF, £2.93
    Method kid's shampoo apple (I think it was the baby one) £1.00
    Sanctuary Mela body butter £7.29
    Santuary Mela Body scrub, £5.82
    Pantene shampoo (which I needed & also to disguise shop) £2.95

    Paid with:
    Three KOS mocs, £3.00
    baby mag £1 off Method
    Grazia Sanctuary coupon £8.95
    Mela Sanctuary coupon wyb body butter (or whatever it was) £5.49

    Total to pay: £4.25 received 200 pts for photo albums and fragrance voucher.

    Was glad to get the Sanctuary stuff (though v clever those who are using it to get the No7 gwp), especially since the SA looked carefully at the vouchers. But she was v good and sent me to get the second brag book because I'd not realised they were BOGOF. (I noticed that they have carefully changed the notices to say albums on this stand BOGOF, not all albums, and there was no notice near the brag books.) Thank you to whoever suggested combining the Grazia voucher with the Mela one -- wish I'd had more Mela vouchers as it makes a lovely present for cousin about to undergo chemo.

    Trafford Centre had no more baby mags and 2 Method shampoos left reduced to £1.00. They had loads of 50p off Fairy stuff leaflets strewn around in displays telling you to take one and take one for a friend. I used them last time to buy the fabric conditioner which also disguised other bargains, but not sure if this is a good price for conditioner and if I should stock up or not. (I used to be given conditioner by someone who worked in a packing factory so no idea what it costs.)

    ACM only gave me one photo albums voucher and I notice you can't use it on photo mounts any more. ACM is being rubbish to me at the moment!

    I'm not sure, but I think it has ended today. It was a coupon in the current Grazia magazine. People were getting the Grazia for £1 (95p off) w Daily Mail coupon, then Grazia coupon was supposed to give you a free salt scrub. But OP worked out that it works with anything Sanctuary (or even just anything?) and another OP suggested combining it with the Mela voucher which was being given out in store some time ago. If you did that, you ended up with other money off your shopping, as mine above.

    This was a mag voucher, in last weeks Grazia magazine (it has a photo of Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes on the cover). The Sanctuary voucher itself expires today though.

    Hi , thanks it was me who suggested combining the mela voucher and grazia one and i was thinking exactly the same thing, i love the stuff but havent seen any scrub vouchers floating about since i got my last one, shame but glad i helped.
    The acm voucher for 200 points can be used on the magnetic shot to go photo frames they are usually £2.50 and bogof but i have seen them reduced at £1.25 bogof didnt work but sa accepted voucher and no beeps, she was well impressed and i got a survey so will be telling them how lovely and pleasant she was:A.

    hi mrsw
    the only place that I have found them was at Speke - which is a huge branch. went back yesterday to get some more, but also wanted the baby and you mag but for the life of me I cant get hold of one anywhere ( have tried 6 branches now) as I want to be cheeky and try 3 x 20% off coupons!!!!

    Hope you manage to find one of those elusive magazines. I asked in my local store and they had one left - hidden under the Pampers parenting kits.;)

    Popped to manchester arndale boots this morning

    There were no sanctuary scrubs in the sanctuary section downstairs, but i came in through the upstairs entrance to have a quick peek around for any baby magazines (none, sorry i cant help anyone who needed the vouchers from it :( ) and there happened to be a random stand of sanctuary products near the birthday cards section with just one scrub left so i grabbed it! Was almost disappointed that i didnt have a good excuse to try and get a bargain with some other sanctuary product, but i decided i wouldnt risk getting told off by an sa and then finding it had gone later on.

    Went to the ss tills and got:

    Meal deal (with brecon 1ltr water) - £2.52
    2 x always ultra jumbo packs - 2 for £4
    Sanctuary scrub - £8.76

    Total: £15.28
    Used sanctuary coupon (£8.95)
    Cash: £6.33

    Received 60 points and fragrance voucher

    The ss till asked for coupon approval but sa didnt even check it, maybe she saw my scrub and worked out id done it correctly, but it almost made me wish i had taken a chance!!

    Gorgeous feet

    I know a lot of people have had problems with the 200pt when you buy 2 gorgeous feet products voucher from the mag, but mine went through fine

    Got 2 x 50 ml deeply intensive moisturisers, £1.99 each

    They were on BOGOHP (didnt say on sels on footcare shelf but there was a stand nearby with a sign saying so).

    So paid £2.98, 200 points back.
    Definitely worth it for 49p each, the products look really nice for gifts and ive used this range before and they are a lovely treat for your feet!


    ****

    Also:

    - Clearance section isnt worth mentioning.
    - No7: loads of womens gwp, no clearance except high shine lipgloss £4.10 on sel, no 342 signs but might work seeing as everywhere else seems to have it

    Sorry for long post but i hope its useful to someone!
