Boots Grabbit Bargains Part 54 - Post your finds here

amcl

Went to Boots on the retail park today, not much there, SEL label for russian doll washbag but all gone, did get a couple of "Nomadic Ted" mini sets for myself and a friend though, in a clear little zip bag, with body spray, body scrub, body lotion and body wash, reduced SEL of £1.99 from 7.99, and i got a free TB "body gold" wys over £8. At the back of the store there were lots of reduced camera cases for £2 and vitamins and some berry bags but priced at £4.89.

Hi, this is my first time on MSE so bear with me! I bought the Mothercare Trenton Deluxe travel system which is exactly the same as the Graco (made by same company just badged with a different brand). So far my 8 week old has been really happy in it. The removeable pramette is really handy and very comforatble. However, the major drawback is the weight and size. It weighs a tonne! Even when it is folded it is still big and takes up alot of room. The car seat is also extremely heavy even before you put the baby in it. Having said that the weight does make it easy push and the swiveling front wheels give it a nippy feel. To sum up it's a great system if you've got a big boot and even bigger muscles! Hope this helps.

thank you very much for the info !
will have a look at the trenton too

Quick question, does Boots have paypoint or payzone? I have a Blyk phone and would like to know if I can top-up at Boots instead of the post office (At least then it's another excuse to go to Boots )

I don't know what a Blyk phone is but I have had vodafone pay as you go mobile which i topped up in boots and got my points. I just handed over the swipe card at the normal till. Is this what you mean?

Hi diane1975

Can i ask which £5 off voucher you used for these l'oreal mens bits? I tried to use a facial voucher on a mens l'oreal thingy (reduced to £4.50 from £9.00) that was wrinkle reduction yestereday and the till beeped. Thanks.

Hi Juju11

i used the binnie (the current £5 off voucher you get when you spend £5)
The SA has to override it, but you need to argue that it does not say you cant buy mens products. If need be ask them to ring CS they will then tell them they have to accept it. Good luck hope you manage to get some.

Blyk is a network for 16-24 year olds, essentially they advertise to use via text messages on our phone network and we get £15 a month free credit to use. But they are very vague on where to top-up and just say the post office or store that use Payzone or Paypoint where you get a receipt with a code to type in for credit (Which is confusing me right now, I miss swipe cards!).

I've been searching the web but had no luck so alas I fear that means I can't get top-ups at boots. Shame really, could do with the points I'll e-mail CS and make sure first.

The general rule re: Binnies and Men's products is you can't use them. Have phoned CS about this and they said no. However, if you get a nice SA, they MAY put it through. I have tried with about 20 SA's at about 8 stores and they have all said no. Could have thrown up a fuss, but to be honest, didn't really see the point. So good luck. HTH.

BATLEY: No S+G. Only a few KOS items left, along with Gillette, Brylcreem etc. Saw some Lemsip sachets, Sanctuary travel sets, Scholl items, ladies panty things, various footcare items and some other clutter on clearance. Nothing special mind. HTH.

Anyone know if there is anything worthwhile at the HUDDERSFIELD town centre branch? There with work this week, so might pop in. Also, does HEBDEN BRIDGE have a branch?
