    I went out on a little Boots expediton today. Firstly I went to my local store and bought 4x99p Vitamin C tablets and used my remaining 200pt vouchers.
    Spent £3.98

    Got 800 points.

    Then I went to the store in my next town ( where I would not change the Vitamin vouchers as the staff there treat me like a shoplifter!)

    There I got

    Time Delay Anti Wrinkle Day Moisture Cream 1/2 price at £4.40 as the box was damaged so paid with a skinny and got it free

    Then I bought 2 x Foamburst shower gels at £3.00 for 2
    and 2 X Imperial Leather Skinbliss shower lotions reduced to 99p each

    Paid for all with points.


    The SA in the 1st store was amazed at the vitamin vouchers.

    I was really pleased as the face cream is for my DD who is 24 and is trying to look after her skin, the foamburst for my sister who I am visiting in Switzerland next week and the Skin Bliss is for me. Now all I need is a good deodorant offer as I dont seem to have any in my stash. Oh for the days of Mitchum and Tesco H&B

    BTW the Time Delay skin products are really good I have been using them since I found the Boots threads on here. They used to do lovely Face Wipes in a pink packet and a really nice pink exfoliator. Time Delay Radiance Booster is also another lovely product and is only £6.84 ( £1.84 with the voucher) It used to be called Repair radiance balm and even my 26 year old son used it.
  • That's a great shop Rose!! You did really well on your purchases!

    Shelf Edge Label :) The little ticket that gives you the price.
