Boots bargains

Thank you so much mdhughes for your very clear explanation of the Blemish Glitch.

I have printed it, and put it in my bag for future use! This is a handy tip that I got from PollsDolls when I first joined, and has proved priceless. Thanks Polls.

Regarding obtaining the skinnies vouchers, if you can't womble one around SS tills, or in baskets, then you do need an initial outlay of £5 to get one.

In Oxford today, I had to console Dee, who cried bitterly cos she wasn't offered even one Olay Ole voucher from the ACM, but she cheered up enormously when 3 Olay Regenerist items, all on Clearance, cos the boxes were bashed, went through with her wombled Skinnies!

In the World Of Boots, you win some, you 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.

Same here! Thanks to all the advice on the previous thread I gave it a go!
I spent £5 and got a skinny, cashed it in on the Olay face wash where you pay 86p and got another. Repeated this and got another

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.

Then tried to get an expert belmish serum and mask for £5 and the free gel, till wouldn't work this and SA got really frustrated as a massive queue forming behind me and just put it in the bag for free! Ended up with another skinny and when cashed in another couple got new ones.

Each time the SA gives me a new skinny so I have 4 or 5 now!

Running out of things to use them on now! Wouldn't mind a facial wash without bits in as all the Olay ones seem to be demerbrasing, renewing etc.

Never realised how easy all this Bootsing was with a little altering to the thinking!

Just to confirm that I've done it successfully with the Time Delay Gradual Tan Facial Moisturiser (sorry, can't find this item on .com) Its about £5.82 & got a skinny back when I handed over the skinny plus 82p!

Also, quite a lot of ROC on clearance at my local branch. Picked up 2 x ROC Complete Lift Eye Lift Pen @ £2.50 each (so earned another Skinny) RRP £16.50 (can't find on .com, found them here http://www.sjdiscountcosmeticstore.co.uk/complete-lift-eyelids-p-1683.html) There was also some ROC anti-cellulite body products for various prices, under £5.

i only go bootsing once a week, and have for quite a while, my stash is not as big as some people think!!

Just a heads up that buying 3 Origins Jump Start Stimulating Bodywashes, reduced to £7.34 (half price) in dot com's summer sale section will give you 750 points on premium beauty and a couple of Origins samples too.

These are £16 each on the Origins website.

Hi all! Not posted in the Boots thread for a while (as i've gotton to the point I NEED to use up more stuff, to make room for other things - 32 bottles of shampoo last count!). Not sure what happened, but i'll agree, its sad to see the grabbit thread go - I used to adore lingering there and seeing all the goodies people got, especially the photos!
