Got a £10 Boots Voucher - What Do I Spend It On?

jessicamb

Hi All

Heres a challenge for you.

I won a pigsback quiz a bit since and used the points to get a £10 boots voucher. As this was totally unexpected I want to use it to buy myself a treat - but I dont want to fritter it away so what do I get?

Normally its not a problem but I'm after top value for money here as its the only treat I'm letting myself have this month.

Any ideas?

Id go for something that will last a while, what about some nice new makeup brushes?

Also, when you do go to boots make sure you go to the advantage card machine and get your freebies...I got a free mini mediterranean body butter worth £2.00 (see here http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.html?t=215682). Also loads of good reduced items in my local boots yesterday - might be worth a look to maximise your amount for £10!

oooh and also see if you can get one of those £5 off vouchers for colour cosmetics (ruby & millie, no7) and £2 off bourjois & maybelline before you shop (ask friends?)...then you can get even more for your money!

Why not buy loads of tooth pate, soap and bath foam... things you use that would normally add to you grocery budget. thats what i did with my boots voucher!!!

ME!

YAY Spend it on me

Or do I count as a fritter??????????

I think maybe so...........

ok erm.......... not me............. I'd say push the boat out and get something luxurious like a rich rich bubble bath and a nice hair mask........

or get lots of bits to make a little evening treat for yourself, like..... a face mask ( 99p i do believe), a hair one (99p again me thinks) and pot of moisturiser, a nice smelly one, I like to meditteranean one with oliver, bergamont and something else............, that'd be about £2....some foot scrub £2?, a nice nail polish £2?erm................ they do some nice accesory bits in the one near me too, like posh hair clips, necklaces etc......... oh and then one of their chocolate dessert pot things (99p) they're so yummy....... and then pick up a free boots magazine, go home, spruce yourself up, paint ur nails, read the mag and scoff the choc......

Or if not, I'd still suggest spending it on me?

Ok a virtual £10 for CAFC girl.

I was going to go shopping today and spend it but I just couldnt bring myself to do it. I had visions of Martin and Lynzpowers avatar standing there saying "Do you really need that? NO Put it back on the shelf lady!"

This is very strange and unusual - I think I'll call NHS Direct. Nobootsspenditis is taking hold and could be terminal (for my overdraft!).

I think I'll have to work up to it - maybe I'll try again tomorrow and just spend half on treats (sure I can manage that) and get something useful.

Molanole

I'd go for one of their nice Sanctuary home spa treatments (a salt scrub or something). I can never justify buying them with real money as they're pricey but they're perfect for investing in some "me" time.

Maybe one day I'll be able to afford the real thing!

I always use mine to top up my mobile, i wait for triple point days or when there is a free £5 voucher off time delay/olay and get a free handcream or facewash with it.
