    Can't find the night serum, was hoping to be able to use one of my skinnies on this. Is it being discontinued? Does anyone know if any of the little local boots in Coventry stock them? Thanks

    After reading the thread, I spotted some of the Nick Lowe Starter kits in my local Boots for €11. Today I went in again and they still had them. I needed to get vitamins for my son anyways, so bought them and got a "skinnie". I then got the NL kit and asked the SA would it work with the voucher and she said she didn't think so.....but it did! So I got the kit for €3.50:T So thanks to who posted about it:). (Edit-it was fozziebeartoo who posted-thanks a mill!) Delighted

    (Had registered before on MSE just after christmas but I forgot my password and no matter how many times I tried resetting and entering my password it wouldn't take it :( Used another email to re-register today and hopefully will be posting lots more)

    :wave: Is this an Irish branch of Boots? --€ prices.

    In my local Boots they refuse to take "skinnie" vouchers for clearance items. Really annoys me when loads of people on here manage to get away with it.

    Yeah, it was in Mahon Point in Cork. The SA looked a nice sort so I decided it was worth a shot:) And it worked:T They actually have great offers in the Clearance there but this is the first time that I used a voucher against a purchase. Great to see another Irish poster, we can compare bargains & tips for Boots.:beer:

    What I've learned about Boots in Ireland. A few weeks ago during the No7 vouchers I got things for free (gloves, re-usable shopping bags, make-up sponges). The UK ladies said they had to pay £0.50 or £1 at least for the cheapest items with the vouchers.

    Now they are getting skincare things with the skinnie for £1 but the cheapset here seems to be €4.50 with the voucher. I only had one skinnie. I used it to buy the new OLAY total effects cream cleanser wich is priced at €11.99 in Boots. Saw it in Tesco a few days later for €8.49.

  • Are there any wipes for £5 or less that I can get with this coupon? I have had a quick search through this thread but can't find anything.

    I got Olay exfoliating cleanser with mine - cost me 99p. Have used it once and it seems ok - 99p for a cleanser is great.
