    Ah, durham05, I knew I should have gone to the Arnison Centre today. :rotfl:

    Durham North Road had quite a few of the recent 17 GWP, the pinky/red bag with eyeliner pencil, mirror, nail file and nail polish in for £1.50.

    Durham Marketplace clearance is currently downstairs opposite the tills, they had some Trevor Sorbie MG shower gels for 85p-ish, nice SA went and got me another one as they were on BOGOF. Also a few other men's bits and pieces from Hackett, TS,FCUK and Expert.

    Both stores also had the Boots first aid kit for around £9.xx IIRC, think this is a national offer.

    Also got a meal deal with a big bag of Maltesers and BOGOF Sprite/Fanta, bargainous even though I can't eat/drink them ;)

    Nothing to say except that I really loved the Boots Grabbit Thread.
    I am so very sorry that it has gone from MSE but can understand why.

    No where to share my bargains now which is a great shame. :(

    Let me just put a health warning on this post-I did this on the first day of the vouchers and haven't tried it since but here's how got my two items for £1.02 (Sandra, would probably cost you about 40p!!)

    Products:

    Expert Anti-Blemish Gel £3.98
    Expert Anti-redness Serum £4.98

    These two items fall under the 2 4 £5 offer (that's the key here)

    Therefore till reduces total price to £5
    Then free gel voucher takes off £3.98

    = £1.02 left to pay for £9 worth of goods! :T

    Now, it may be hat this glitch has been busted, or it may be that people are not making sure both their items fall in the 2 4 £5 offer?

    just to let you all know, the No7 GWP no longer scans without spending the qualifying amount.

    still lots of lovely jewellery reduced by 70%:DI keep going back for more. At this rate I will be opening my own jewellery shop:)

    will be back later with my shopping lists from the other day...when I find my reciepts:o

    so that's where the clearance in Durham market place is! twice I have been in there and not found it!
    they must have restocked the one at the Arnison centre cos there wasn't much on there on Thursday.

    Not sure if I dreamt it but was positive I read somewhere on MSE that the the skinnies were obtained with a small spend. However when i tried to get a couple today, I was told I had to spend £5. Did I get this wrong? Was a bit disappointed I didnt get the 500pts for the Olay purchase in the ACM, still win some lose some.

    The 1st time i used a skinnie on the Olay wash (86p to pay) i didn't get another skinnie till spit. This was at Crown Point.

    The 2nd,3rd,4th & 5th times i did the same transaction at Albion St i did !

    I've been getting a skinny everytime I buy an olay product, even when I am only spending pennies. This is on normal tills and SS tills. Not sure if you earn a skinny in the same way with other brands that you can redeem the voucher against.

    Hi, yes I tried it today but was told I they couldnt take off the amount for the free Expert item because the two items were already on offer (2 for £5). Assistant called over another assistant for advice but they wouldnt changed their minds. If I had purchased 3 items they said they would take off the £3+ (cant remember the exact amount) but I didnt really want to spend £4+. However will give it a go again next week.
