    Thanks to OP for posting the ruby & millie voucher link

    My locals dont sell this brand but ill probably go to arndale boots before end of june so i might be able to use it

    Could anyone recommend anything from the ruby and millie range?

    I need a really good blusher atm, sort of a pinky tone but nothing too bright as im quite pale, so if anyone knows a good R&m one id be really grateful if you'd let me know. TIA :)
    Hi! Ruby and Millie nail varnishes are fabulous, really luxurious and don't chip at all :D The only problem is that I don't know if you could use the voucher on them?! Sorry hun - perhaps one of the others on here knows?

    Thanks to Krispiiduck for posting the voucher too!!
    :p

    Hmm, just looked on boots website and there are no products under the nails section for R&M :S

    Nvm, ill have a look next time im in the store, thanks for the advice olliesmom :) i do have a bit of a fetish for nail polish!

    Might as well try the voucher anyway, if nothing else at least ill be able to let everyone else know whether they can use it!

    Rec'd my order from .com for the EA products which consisted of:

    6 x EA lipglosses 1/2 price @ £60;
    2 x EA 8hr body treatment cream 200ml FREE (giving 1 per 3 items purchased);
    1 x EA Millenium Gift (worth £60?!) FREE (WYS £40);

    Rec'd 1500pts as I purchased 6 EA items (500pts per 2 items purchased) + 500pts 4 spending £50 + normal 240pts so total of 2240pts on a £60 spend + the free gifts!

    Hi I have been lurking this thread for a while and would like to say a Huge Thanks to all the posters here for nice tips and tricks.

    I must admit that I was thinking Boots as a very High priced Store untill I find this thread and came to know the glitches which probably I would not have found anywhere.

    Thanks again for all the useful posts.

    Just a quick question is this TB glitch is in all the stores or just the selected ones. As I had a look in my Local store ( In East anglia ) but the half price for TB wash bags was not displayed on the shelf ...so is it still scans at half price and 342...???

    TIA.
    idlesaver

    the shelf edge still said full price in my store £14.xx

    I just asked the cashier to check what 3 of the bags came up as which was £7.XX

    it appears from receipt they do the 3 for 2 at £14.xx a bag making 3 bags just shy £30, then they are on half price but the till takes £7.3X off 3 times rather than just for the two bags being paid for. hope that makes sense

    Hi all,
    there were loads of the TB bags in Edinburgh Straiton today. They are now marked at half price on big signs. I did notice that some of the other things on the stand like the gillette(?) sets were half price and 342 as well - wonder if the glitch works on anything else?
    Neither ACM was working today - very annoying! (although I have not had a decent voucher in weeks, possibly after I used loads of the kids toiletries 100pts ones last month. Is Mr B watching me?) Lots of blank signs and random displays ready for changeover tonight. There were some baby toiletries in clearance, and some pregnancy stuff too. Nothing massively exciting. Still loads of baby monitors at £44.xx.

    HTH

    ps I saw today that someone was selling 10 x TB sets on ebay. I have to say, in the current financial climate I can't really blame someone trying to make extra money, although I don't I'd buy quite so many at 1 time! Thing is though, they may end up stuck with them as they are on at £5 + £3 postage = more than current selling price in Boots! ;) x
    Recent wins: iPhone 5s, iPad mini, Micro scooter, Commonwealth Games tickets, Magnum of Champagne, Skincare Set, Make up, £250 voucher

    Went into Central 12 and Chapel St Southport branches and all the TB sets had gone, well they def had gone in C12 and I didnt see them in the other branch but wasnt really looking. Didnt need any of them so Im not too fussed. All I bought was a fridge magnet photo frame thing with a 200points voucher from acm - so thats effectively 49p for the pack of 2. Had hoped they were on bogof but the girl said they werent.

    Just got back from my local Boots - tried the TB sets for a 2nd time, as my sister & mum wanted some & don't have a local Boots store. As the SA was scanning them through, a male SA next to her whispered that she needed to scan just TWO then put the 3rd one through as £0.00. This meant that I was charged £14.** for the 3!! I politely said that I didn't want them (bit red-faced, but I wanted to buy some other stuff & didn't want to have to get a refund at a later stage!) He said they had been informed by Head Office not to scan the 3 as there was an error with the till. I hope this doesn't filter to all the stores & some of you manage to bag some quickly! There was no SEL at my store, so I just mentioned that I had no idea of the full price & the fact I was only charged £7 at a different branch, but I understood they had rules to follow.

    I managed to get a couple of bargains, two from the clearance shelves & two from the normal shelves, with clearance SELs.

    Extracts Body Butter Collection £1.75 RRP £6.85
    Natural Collection Strawberry Bath Pearls 20p RRP £2.49
    2 x Trevor Sorbie Intensive Conditioner £1.20 (can't find on .com but others are £4.79-ish each)
    Umberto Giannini Shine Spray £1.18 RRP £4.69

    TOTAL £5.53 (SAVED £18.08 & gained 20 points)

    There were a couple of other "premium" haircare items reduced but the shelves were bare! Keep your eyes peeled, folks!

    HTH someone! And good luck with the TB bargains - be brave & try it, you can only say "No" if it doesn't work!

    Everything I wanna do is either illegal, immoral or fattening! lol :rotfl:
