  • Has anybody seen any of the Braun epilators so cheap in the North West at all? Tried a couple of stores over the weekend, but they had only been reduced by £10, so still £40ish

    Any help appreciated

    Boots in Staines have reduced all their bikini separates to £1! They are mixed up in a box, but a bargain if you can find something in your size.
  • does anyone know...I have used the voucher to give me 1500 points when I spend over £75 on baby things in boots, but if I spend £75, and then pay for it with the points on my card, do they deduct £75 worth of points and add the 1500 points, or do you not get the bonus points when spending points, if I make sense?

    I think that they would not give you the points, as technically you have not spent £75. I don't know for definite on this one, but when I have tried similar things in the past I have not been given the points. HTH.

    Im afraid if you use points no extra point vouchers are allowed....nice if it was though!

    They had a few in the Boots in Urmston earlier this week, also in the Boots in the city centre.(The small one behind St Annes Square. )
    Hope that helps!

    HunnieB your post sounds suspiciously like you are exploiting the parenting club, I am all for making the most of deals, points and vouchers but know a lot of people 'invent' pregnancies and children to get things they are not entitled to , which is unfair on everyone.
    Apologies if I am wrong, but this really annoys me.
