    I got my postal voucher this morning. I'm going to try Boots in the City Centre but if I have no joy there I'll use it in Tesco at the weekend. Thanks OP! :)

  • I used my voucher that I got in the post today. A little confused what happened though.

    I bought one box of hair dye at £4.49, 2 dove deodarants at £2.15 each BOGOF and one Boots smile toothpaste at 59p.

    I used 1 dove voucher BOGOF and one 50 points with any smile purchase.

    Wonder why the total was £4.46 and voucher? surely the total should have been £5.08?

    I'm not complaining, just can't work it out, anyone have any clues?

    The lovely lady at the till let it through no problems, but I was doing a refund and buying another item with my points so it may have distracted her.

    workied for me on Friday in Fishergate Boots, although the SA did scrutinise the voucher. I made sure I had the 150ml version @ £2.15 each, and bought a £2.99 meal deal with them. Total to pay £2.35!:j

    I did the same at Eastbourne Boots (Sovereign Centre) with the meal deal. SA couldn't quite work out what had happened! Extra pleased as I also got the £3 champagne/glasses set from Asda too! Thanks OP

    The dove voucher scans as £2.79. so you get a little amount taken off the total of your other items.:) HTH.

    i think thats a bit judgemental, i collected a legitimate number based on the fact i have three pcs i always do three vouchers from coupon.net and theres plenty of others on here who do the same. such as the whiskas offer where you can print off one and text for another.

    i dont think its okay to judge others purchasing habits. DOVE issued this coupon and im sure they expect millions of consumers to use them. at the end of the day, its all a marketing strategy. i had never tried any Dove product till this opportunity, i know i am definately going to buy the sprays from now on, as i really like them :)
    No one deserves a "coupon" or a "glitch" more than any one else. if any one feels comfortable printing 2,3 or 10 coupons, its really their choice. its between the consumer and the company, not really any one else's problem.
    to sum up my rather long post, we are all "guilty", whether we print off 1,2 or 10 vouchers.

    agreed thezib...i think it would be naive to think that brands like dove aren't aware of money saving expert and the savvy shopper. in fact i read an article only the other day on martin's blog about marketeers catagorising us as mini martin lewises. at the end of the day it gets their brand in our bathrooms and they increase their market share against that of their competitiors. job done.
