    I always have problems with the Huggies ones as there is always some type of promotion on them, stops the vouchers working.

    These vouchers do become a pain at times
  • Went to Boots in Picadilly this morning, they were reducing a bunch of stock including Boots brand hair colour (to £1). Received a £1 off Boots brand hair colour from the machine, and received the hair colour for free! The coupon allows you to purchase 2 packs of hair colour and receive £1 off each.

    Hope this helps!

    I'm really getting into this boots thing!!

    Just bought £155 worth of goods and paid only £38.88!!!!!!!:j :j :j

    (well technically £55.08 if I take into account the price of 6 Marie Claire mags)

    I offically love boots now!

    I bought:
    Boots brand hair dye (only 69p with the £1 off voucher)
    6 x Santuary products (free with 6 Marie Claire vouchers)
    8 x Botanic Quick Fix Wipes (free as had purchased 8 Botanics facial products)
    8 x Botanic facial skin care products (all reduced to half price so between £1.99 and £2.49 each)
    Birthday card (£1.50)
    Boots Magazine (free)
    12 x Botanics Skin care products (all half price and all on 3 for 2)

    So that is alot of Christmas presents sorted (am making up beauty baskets for gifts).

    Also got a total of £11.02 of Advantage card points!! Customer Services added 500 points on as one of the three for twos didn't register on the till plus 150 points for spending over £20 and also botanics is on triple points as well.

    A pretty good haul - carrying it home was no fun though!!

    The triple points on certain brands including boots own works on reduced sunglasses as well.

    As I bought a pair of boots sunglasses and two packs of cheapie ibuprofen got 66 points then triple points of 128 and then I had voucher for 50 points for spending more than £7.50 :j

    Was not expecting the 128 points but better than nothing.


    Yours

    I went to boots this morning to get 20 photos developed - didn't get the 3000 extra points - just the 150. This was in the Brighton Branch. Hope this helps.

    I can't find the 150 points :confused: - is it in the AC Machine?

    Thanks
