    damn!! i threw mine away, i wish i kept it now

    I've still got the leaflet.. but I don't think there's any point complaining. Customer services always email me very unhelpful replies and never answer the question asked!! :mad:

    really?? ive allways forund the customer service spot on!
    had a few issues not so long ago, and boots were very quick with a responce, told me just what i wanted to hear, then asked for my advantage card number, to my surprise, they put 1000 points on!! :T
    3 wonderfull kids :female::female::male:, 1 fab hubby :heart: , 2 beautifull cats and 1 very large dog = my family!

  • To give you some food for thought, this is what you could do on the final Shopping Evening:

    3 x Hands & Feet sets @ £20 each (on 3 for 2) or any No 7 for £20 (apparently, only the gift sets costing £20 or more have points vouchers within)

    1 x Protect & Perfect Eye Cream @ £16.50

    3 x GWPs

    The till "sees" the price as 3 x £20, plus 1 x £16.50 = £76.50, so you'd be entitled to one GWP for each £22.

    Then, the 3 for 2 for the sets kicks in - £40, plus P & P £16.50 = £56.50

    Then, a 10% over 60s discount could be applied - leaving £50.85 (phew! Just made it!)

    Use 500 points Xmas Bonus, if you have them, plus 1200 points, plus 250 from a previous GWP, if you have it = 1950 points.

    In the 3 GWPs and the 3 sets, each will have 250 points coupon = 1500 points

    So, you'd spend £50.85, you'd have 3450 points, so in Boots logic you'd get:

    3 x GWPs
    3 x Hands & Feet sets
    1 x P & P Eye Cream and pay ........................ £16.35!!!!!!!

    :T:T:T :j:j :T:T:T

    People are selling these GWPs on ebay for over a fiver, so if you wanted to, you could actually get your eye cream and sets for, er, nothing! :rotfl:

    And that's what makes Bootsing fun!

    I am hoping against hope that next week's OOTW really is a special Gift Set of P & P products, and that it is half price, and it is on 3 for 2, or something equally gorgeous is the OOTW, and that offer will still be valid on the 28th November, and can be incorporated into a most bargaineous shop! :T

    I don't know if there is a word "bargaineous", but it sums up the way I feel when I can s-t-r-e-t-c-h my pension to such extremes!

    And remember (Grandma Scarlett talking here), if it gets you in debt up to your armpits, it isn't even a teeny weeny bargain!

    Whilst we all know the price of the OOTW is naff, i cant understand the logic of saying wait for the sale they will have loads left if they keep this up.
    The way i see it, if the sale is 50% off, thats good but with the 342 being removed, you just arent going to save much and that is why i cant grasp why people go mad for the Boots boxing day sale.
    Having said that, when you get to 75% off its better, but do you really get any of the good stuff left by then.

    Very true!
    On boxing day it will only be £30 which is still a bit cheaper than it is just now but how do you know if there will even be meny left by then!
    And at £30 in the sales you prob wont go buying 3 like you would on the 3 for 2!
    The only things I managed to get in the 75% off last sale was kids bubble bath!!

    Boots are advertising this everywhere, it's even a sponsored ad on Facebook at the minute.

    Hi i never buy the No7 skin care stuff (facial serums, moisturiser, cream cleansers) because it brings me out in white spots also although i find it oily/ greasy i dont find it moisturises or gives my skin a "glow" etc . I love neals yard and elizabeth arden visible difference. So the skin care type sets are never worth the money for me. But i do like the wipes and eye make up remover.
