    Where is everyone finding the reduced handwashes? I have been in loads of stores and not found a single one. Must keep looking ;)

    Hi most the ones ive found have reduced sels rather than on a clearance shelf, but unfortunately although i have found the sel the product seems to be missing lol.
    You laugh because I'm different......I laugh cause I just farted!

    Thanks to SandraScarlett for Olay Ole!!!
    Managed to do it 3 times so far! 2 times with cream wash x 2, paid 1.72 and got 500pts back!! Tried with cream wash + thermal polisher and points had to be added manually :confused:

    P.S. Got few Expert vouchers spare if anyone wants them

    I'm sooooooooooooo pleased you did the Olay Ole! :T:T:T

    Botanics haircare is currently on 2 for £5, including the 3 minute deep conditioning hair mask.
    This is usually £4.88 for one tub so bargainous, plus it's a fab conditioner. A bonus points voucher would be nice but we can't have it all :rotfl:

    Also, Benefit have a free 50ml B Spot fragrance worth £26.50 wyb 2 selected Benefit products, it seems to include most of those available online, might be worth looking instore to see if you can get this with some of the cheaper items such as pencil sharpeners.

    ETA If you shop on dot com then you get one Benefit GWP with every two items you add to your basket ;)

    Hi Everyone, I'm a Newbie and a Bootster-Beginner so please be gentle with me! Although I've been a keen reader of all your Bargains and Glitches etc. for the last two months so thank you very much to all you lovely Posters! :A I too was sad that the Boots Grabbit thread was closed down.:confused:

    Anyway keeping it topic related, in my little local this afternoon I spotted the Dove Pro-Age Beauty Cream Soap Bars SEL at 25p each (they're 97p on .com).

    Unfortunately, I'm unable to go Olay Ole-ing due to no-show of the said voucher at the ACM to date :mad:.

    Sorry that you can't Olay Ole at the mo, and there's just no telling who gets what at the ACM. Another very handy tip that I was given is that when you first go to the ACM, when that period's vouchers are issued, ............. print everything off, as many times as the ACM lets you.

    I missed out on a lot of glitches when I was first starting out, because I hadn't printed things out (thinking I wouldn't need them) or thrown them away (ditto) only to find OP discovered a most Bargainious Glitch the following week! So now I keep them all, and only throw them out the night before the new session begins.

    It's also worthwhile to keep checking at different ACMs - even in the same store! When the £5 off P&P was on, about February I think, I found that one ACM didn't give me any vouchers, and another, three feet away gave me 3! :T

    You could drive yourself mad trying to work out the whys and wherefores of Boots - I seem to get most of the vouchers, but have never been blessed with a mailing yet!

    Thank you so much for this Sandra:T, I shall take on your very helpful advice immediately so my local ACM's had better watch out from now on, here I come!:rotfl: You must be a mind-reader as I've been getting so tired of walking away disappointed and wondering what I've done wrong for the 'goodie vouchers' not to appear on my screen! Many thanks again SS!

    Hi guys I tried the expert glitch with the anti-blemish moisturiser today and it worked in the same way, both items for £1.02, 52p if you're over 60 and in the health club

    Tried the very same combo this evening - It didn't work for me. The customer assistant tried twice and didn't understand why the till wouldn't deduct the cost of the gel.

    Sorry to bring up what is obviously a sore subject, but I can't figure out why we are no longer allowed to have a Boots Grabbit thread but have to have individual threads and now this one has started up! What on earth is the difference between the old one and this one please?

    I hope I haven't said a wrong thing, I feel as if I am walking on eggshells even querying it! Whatever the explanation, I loved reading the old thread and tried desperately to get some of the bargains that people got but I always seem to get the old, crabby SA's who fix me with a gimlet eye as soon as I approach their till and seem to be determined not to let me get any good deals!

    Anyway, I do go in to Mr B's and flutter about nervously with my stomach doing somersaults and do occasionally get the old good buy! Thanks to all those who used to put the deals on the Grabbit board and thanks especially to all of you who are still going to the trouble of telling the rest of us how to go about getting the best deal we can for our money.
