    Boots at Stratford East London have no.7 mascara's and a few other products in the range (including the Geisha boxes) that the £5 voucher can be used on.
    I got 2 mascara's today priced at £4.25 each, free with 2 vouchers.
    The £2 Maybelline voucher works on the 'Watershine Fusion' lipsticks. They are noramlly £5.99, but in yesterday's newspaper there was an advert saying they were reduced to £2.99. I took the ad with me today but they go through the till at £2.99 anyway, so using the voucher brings them down to 99p.
    I left the ad on the shelf by the lippies, because there was loads of people trying to use up their vouchers and there wasn't any indication that they were only £2.99..............cheeky!!!

    Boots at the Fort yesterday had a big sign over the old lilac bags and the chinese looking boxes saying only £2.50 with your £5 No 7 voucher.

    All Boots that I have been to in the last two days have loads of clearance items - quizzed nice sales assistant today and they are apparently clearing the warehouse and have 'found' lots of stuff to get rid of in time for Xmas 06! They have been told to have a clearance section for three weeks and were going to ask for more items to sell as they were running out! Looks as if we may be in for more bargains.

    Today got Natural Collection lipstick and nail polish reduced from £4.00 to 50p (have seen these in three Boots so they may be around everywhere) and a No 17 bag with pink brooch containing lip gloss, nail polish and eyeshadow reduced from £14.99 to £1.87. My aunt spent over £15.00 and got a voucher and bought the chinese box for me for £2.50!

    They had 'Ruby & Millie' make up boxes in the reduced bit in Lewisham yesterday. I didn't want anything so big (couldn't carry it, went by DLR), so didn't check the price, but there was loadssssssssss........ if that's of any help to anyone?

    Does the t&c say it excludes giftsets or reduced stock? I didn't think it did in which case I would have asked to see the manager.

    I could have quizzed them and pointed out the Ts&Cs, but as this was a later transaction, and I was carrying a couple of bags full of 'bargains' I didn't really think that it was wise to push my luck on this one. I really wanted some eye shadow to go with my 'make up sets' anyway.

    So I decided to leave it this time and stick with what I had managed to 'acquire'.

    The voucher does specifically exclude Ruby & Millie gift sets. Our store doesn't have a Ruby & Millie counter, so clearance items are obviously being shipped in and it will be worth keeping an eye on things.

    The purple bag and the geisha boxes at £2.50 with voucher are a good deal cos you get a full sized lippy which sells at £8.50!

    The Bourjoiis/Maybelline £2.00 off and N7/Ruby & Millie voucher£5.00 off expire on 18/07/06.Any ideas of what to buy and don't pay anything or are there any products under the value of £2.00 and £5.00?

    Geisha boxes on 3 for 2 and you can use £5 voucher off so you get 3 for £10

    No7 stay perfect mascara can be bought for 66p using 1/3rd off voucher from mag & no7 voucher plus a 200 point voucher from the Geisha box so they pay us £1.34 to take this away :j

    Not many clearance or sale bargains in Wolverhampton or Walsall Boots tbh.
    John Frieda hair gifts were reduced from £10 to £3.33 so they were pretty good.

    There was loads of No7 stuff reduced to £5.50 or less so great for using up £5off vouchers.

    No avene gift boxes in either of the above 2 stores yesterday.

    In Wolverhampton town centre they had Ruby&Millie foundations reduced to £5 so i suppose they would be free with the £5 vouchers. I did look to see if the 500 points when you buy 2 items promo was still running (it seems to be permanently running in Wolvo) but there were no signs so its probably stopped for the duration of the vouchers? :confused:

    the Reading Oracle Boots had a sign on friday saying that you could not use the £5 voucher on the £7.50 oriental style gift boxes.In my experience this store has always been a bit funny about money off vouchers but the one across the road takes them with no problem.

    I got the pink Gameboy advance and 2 games for £49.99 and a dvd and Karaokee machine for £19.99 down from £59.99 got a few other bits and spent £78 and got £11 something in points. I thought my parenting club points for a spen of over £75.00 would go on but they didn't

    Am I correct in thinking I should have got an extra 1500pts?
