Can't comment on how good the spray is, although im sure OP said it worked for her daughter.
If you can get a vocuher for 100pts wyb expert anti-dandruff shampoo, its on offer at £1.65, so get thta plus spend £3.35 on other stuff to make up the £5 spend to use the free treatment spray voucher. The till knocks off £3.33 from the £5 because the voucher is for £9.99 but the spray is £6.66 atm. So you end up spending £1.xx and you get 100 points too, so even if it is rubbish youve only really lost less than a pound and got some other products too. HTH.

you don't actually need to spend £5 on expert WYB expert shampoos and conditioners for the ACM voucher to work;) I had great fun with these vouchers today:DThis is what I bought:

boots expert dry scalp shampoo, was £2.93, now £1.95

boots expert anti-d shampoo, was £2.49, now £1.65

boots expert spray, was £9.99, now £6.65


Total to pay after I handed over ACM voucher for free spray: 26p:T
I did this 4 times:T


boots expert dry scalp shampoo, was £2.93, now £1.95

boots expert dry scalp conditioner, was £2.93, now £1.95

boots expert spray, was £9.99, now £6.65


Total to pay after I handed over ACM voucher for free spray: 56p:T
I did this 4 times:T


I also got 4 x KOS face wash, reduced to 98p and BOGOHP, I used KOS vouchers and paid 0.00:T

I don't need the free expert spray (not just yet anyway) so I am going to donate most of it to an old peoples home or a womens refuge. or a charity shop. Does anyone know if a charity shop would accept these?

Had a terrible day (and not just at boots).

Checked two Boots branches in Stevenage, no Busbi digital frames even listed on shelves or in cases. Awful because this was going to be the perfect gift for my OH for his birthday.

In town centre store there is botanics shave gel and sensitive shave gel reduced to £1 on the SEL. Not useful to me though!

Spent hours looking for a chess set instead for OH, couldn't find one. Ended up with one I found hidden in Poundland but it's not the nicest thing but I'm seriously short on time now so it'll have to go in his birthday hamper.

Couldn't find anything I wanted/needed anywhere.

Then to top it off my bus broke down on the other end of it's route and the !!!!!!s that run arriva didn't think to tell us leaving us waiting for over an hour.

Just to add to the stress, OH wouldn't stop calling, even after I texted saying I couldn't answer as I had 5% battery on my phone and when stranded you need that for emergency. Even after sending that he called again 25 minutes later :mad:

Had enough now, just want to go to bed.

I'm sure I've seen these on the clearance shelf in hitichin, reduced to £4.xx
you could try ringing the store to see if they have any left and reserve one for pick up if they do:D

Hi sorry to sound stupid...I'm still learning all these clever loopholes!:o

I don't understand how you managed to pay so little for the hair stuff, didn't you still have to pay £3.60 for the 2 shampoos to get the free spray?

I'm confused!!

I bought 3 reduced items lip gloss and nail varnish, and it went through on 3 for 2, and the voucher just beeped. The SA wouldn't put it through as she said it couldnt be used on reduced items, but I am sure someone here has been able to use theirs. it may be because the total was under £5, but I did have other shopping.

I think the till beeps on brushes &, generally, the SA's point out it has to be used on cosmetics... however, I have been able to use them on reduced cosmetics which were not only @ 75% off but also on 342! So, for the 3 lip glosses I pd 76p with the voucher + earned the £2 haircare voucher...;) Here, the acceptance of this voucher will depend on the SA's but when I purchased my lot I went to pay 2 a young SA who, I think, didn't realize the items were reduced & on clearence... if u find some in ur store take a chance...:o HTH

No, because the acm voucher for the hair loss spray still takes £9.99 off the cost of your shopping, even though the actual cost of the hair loss spray is only £6.66 at the moment.
So £1.95 plus £1.65 for your normal hair products = £3.60, then you get £3.33 deducted from that when you use the acm voucher (£9.99 worth on acm voucher, minus £6.66 that is actually being charged for the spray at the moment).

Does that make it any clearer? I'm going to have to take a calculator with me on my next Bootsing trip I think .

yes, the till sees the total before 1/3 off kicks in:jthat's why I bought the haircare products;)this is a really good deal and I suggest peeps with the vouchers use them up ASAP incase Mr B fixes the glitch. I was going to use half my vouchers today and half tomorrow, but I missed the last glitch (TB bags) and didn't want to take a chance on missing out on this one. I've just shown DD and DH my goodies and they can not believe how much stuff I got for such a little spend. Thanks Mr B:T:j

I wombled a few (about 8:D) haircare vouchers today, but couldn't find anymore haircare reductions. Will have to venture further a field.
