    I usually get the tripple chicken sandwich, its 1xchicken sweetcorn, 1xchicken bacon, 1x chicken salad. together with a carrot cake slice YUM, and a diet coke (slightly ironic).
    Its definately personal choice, I always go for a tripple sandwich and its enough to share with my son.

    im veggie so boots meal deals are a relief as i actually get some choice! my favourites are vegetarian sushi, tofu sandwiches and wraps with houmous.... only downside my boots dont usually sell any of them! :rotfl:

    thanks about being able to use 20% mini mode voucher in maidstone, canterbury and bluewater. After yesterday's fiasco partner said we could go to bluewater this weekend (hopefully if i can get some mystery shopping to do the same time) so i can use my vouchers there.

    One thing I did think of was that the clothes you chose may have been clearance rather that sale items as the vouchers will only work on sale items (have tried on both and till bleeps if they are clearance)

    Hi All,

    Just a quick note to let you know that I managed to pick up

    http://www.feelunique.com/p/mop-C-System-C-Straight-Smoothing-Shampoo-250ml.html

    and

    http://www.boots.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?storeId=10052&productId=50102&callingViewName=&langId=-1&catalogId=11051

    at my local boots this morning for £2 each! Given they are normally around £10 a bottle, this was a great bargain! I have been wanting to try the MOP products for a while, but couldn't justify the higher cost when there are so many other products we can get alot cheaper with vouchers and offers.

    Not sure if this will be store-wide or not, but worth keeping an eye out!!

    Hope this helps someone :)

    I had a shocking time last week, scary No7 SA kept following me about when I was trying to decide on a new lipstick shade (God knows why but it was really irritating). I then tried to get the new H&B magazine but the Stevenage town centre store only has the old one still (This seems to happen a lot there). Then I couldn't find the glycolic peel I was going to use a voucher on and there was nothing new in the tiny amount of clearance stuff there was.

    Plus I was going to get two lovely nail polishes from the No17 range to get the freebie but as you can't look in the boxes was wary I was going to get rubbish colours - the one box that was open had pink gloss, prange nail polish and green eye dazzle (Because those clearly work together *raised eyebrow*) so I obviously couldn't get a binnie which I wanted to use on something nice to try (I do begrudge trying new products at full price!).

    On the acm I've been knocked off of the healthclub, even though I've been on it since it started (And received a letter today saying I can't join because I'm under 60 - weaird because I joined at the start) and got given a voucher for £2 off a £8 healthcare spend...don't really see myself using it but oh well.

    On the upside I finally got a few vouchers on the ACM, 50 points when I buy soltan aftersun (Guess they've realised how pale I am!) and a 200 points on photo frames/albums...found some reduced framses for 98p but by this point didn't have the energy to try!

    And I just looked on the store locator and found 2 other stores in Stevenage I haven't been to. The one in the old town is a bit of a trek but I'm hoping that the other one is the boots outlet store I remember seeing there ages ago but thought had closed down!

    So I think a trip to a new boots is in order, perhaps I'll have more luck :D

    Morning all. After the fiasco at my local yesterday morning I managed a couple of shops further afield in the afternoon.
    Have a good day:beer:

    hi rats:) well done for getting all those bargains further a field. I was in our local yesterday and didn't find much either:rolleyes:I got the last pk of alldays liners reduced to 30p, a mini med mint scrub, for 49p - it smells lovely. I also bought some delicous coconut body butter and body lotion, both reduced to £1.25. I didn't see any reduced s&g, NC or georgeous feet products:mad:

    The day before, I managed to find some reduced 17 nail polish at 60p and gained 50 points with each one, with ACM vouchers. Effectively costing me 10p for each nail polish:Tnot in our local I must add:rolleyes:

    Sorry that the vouchers beeped on your minimode sale items. Don't know why that happened as I have used the 'Baby & you' 20% voucher a few times on sale items.

    Just to say, if you have an SA who won't even try the voucher on sale items, you could always add something cheap from the full-price collection (like tights or socks / undies). If you explain you have something at full-price to SA, they should be prepared to take it and, if you've got a lot of sale items, you should still make a saving (as long as the voucher works that is!!!!)

    Hi all,

    Someone posted last week looking for a good travel system. I have skimmed through the posts but can't find who it was.

    Don't normally post anything but my Bebe Confort Streety Travel System I brought of Boots.com arrived this morning and its perfect for the job, I love it. Can't wait the little one to arrive and take him out in it.

    Its on Save £80 on the Boots.com website and double points (Over £15 worth of points). Checked other sites and travel systems and this is the best prive by far for what it does. Hope this is useful for you.

    Item code 10073492 - MSE won't let me post a link. :mad:
