    Evening all, well i had a mini boots trip and picked up a few loreal bits that were reduced on sel, used moc from loreal club (joined online) and so picked up some lovely items for pennies. Still havent spotted the busbi frame but will keep looking. Still got loads of fragrance vouchers and nothing to spend them on. But managed to get some ug finishing cream free with hairy. Since ive started bootsing all my make up, haircare etc has got upgraded without spending more yeah. Also just a note that the expert hair loss treatment has a use by date on it and mines only till sept, but ive got loads of hair so will probably finish it in the next two weeks lol, but do keep an eye out!
    Im loving the max factor gwp by the way gorgeous, does anyone know of any other gwps coming out soon? tia
    I saw a notice instore today pointing out that the use by date on the hair loss treatment is incorrect. I can't recall the details but I think it is a lot longer than printed on the packaging. Your store may have one too, it looked like an official Boots notice.

    I saw that too geordie_lass:Dall of mine have a sticker over the wrong date - the right date is september 09. I guess this is why Mr B is giving them away for free:rolleyes:

    I saw that too Sally. That must be why Mr B is off-loading them now. :rolleyes:
    I have checked the other Expert items that were 2 4 £4 and they don't seem to have a date on them.
    I was thinking of taking some back to exchange for
    longer dated ones, but maybe they only have the short dated ones in stores now.

    I have 2 different 20% off vouchers for Mini Mode. (Out of Baby mag and other mag) One expires on Tuesday.

    Can I use both together and get 40% off? I asked today and the assistant couldnt find a manager to ask.

    She said she could put them through the till but if only 1 worked I would lose the other as she couldn't put it through again.

    Does anyone know? Sorry if this has already been covered!
    yes it does work,,i did this last week

    I would say that if that 20% and 20% glitch does work, you would get 20% off the full price then 20% off the discounted price?

    So if something was £10 it would be £6.40 rather than £6. I think.

    Hi, I've done this combo a few times now and not sure how they work it out but the price you pay is usually about half the price you would normally pay. eg: if a £10 item is reduced to £5.00 you will pay roughly £2.50. It's even better if you can get hold of the Mini Mode booklet (voucher expires end June tho) as this has another 20% off. I paid £20 for £92 worth of stuff a couple of weeks ago - nearly did cartwheels out the shop!!! :j

    Hi....Been saving points since January and have £51,60. I am saving for digital camera. On website there is one that I want for £49.99 but out of stock. I have added to wishlist does this mean they email you when in stock? Can I buy and have delivered and use my points to pay or not. Thanks

    If you go into a Boots store and order online from there then you can use your points to pay. They will only let you order if it's in stock on the website though. You might find one in stock in a store, if you phone Customer Services they can check the stock levels in stores local to you and you may be able to phone ahead and reserve one. Most stores will keep an item for you to collect later in the same day.

    I don't know about the wishlist though.
