    o/t but i've noticed that they have a lot of the Pure makeup items reduced on-line. Do you recon they will have them at the same prices in-store?
    Reason I ask (instead of ordering and having delivered to store) is that i'll buy some of these items, if available, to get my first £5 No.7 voucher, then buy the rest of what I want from No7 range with the vouchers lol.
    Ta :)

    In my local the Pure range was marked at 50% off so i asked a SA to scan an item & it did infact come up at 75% off. There wasn't much left but managed to get an eyeshadow palette & a lip gloss.

  • Hi Everyone

    After yesterday's disastrous attempt at getting the most out of my voupon, this morning is a marked improvement.

    Went into the town's big Boots and found the self service check outs here's my haul:

    All No7

    2 foldaway bags
    2 Compact mirrors
    2 Ccard holders
    1 Lipstick case

    Goods total £42, spent £7 and I still have the voupon! Saving of £35 quuid! Thats Mother's Day sorted!

    Also went into the Body Shop and got my £5 birthday treat ( bought shower gel 241 spent £1)

    I think I am definitely getting the hang of this! ( Not a Boosters yet, but getting there)

  • Any SS tills near stoke on trent I've searched a 12 mile radius and can't find any
  • Went to boots today armed with Dove voucher worth 2.79 sent to me in the post. Wombled a voupon and bought

    No 7 fold away bag 6.00
    Dove deodorant 2.15
    Pampers baby wipes reduced from 2.49 to 1.00

    paid 1.36 for everything, the only mistake I made was getting to boots to early as there were no more voupons to womble.
  • Thanks for the info!

    I just need to find a boots that has self service till in Hamilton/East Kilbride area

    Can anyone help?

    Thanks in advance

    The nearest one I know is at Glasgow Fort. I'm off there tomorrow for a wombling afternoon :)

  • Hi Tammigirl

    I went through the transaction as normal and at the end after i had scanned the voupon it says put the coupon in the slot ( i had a look at the slot and its just a hole in the machine for collecting i think and not like when you put cash in if you know what i mean)

    the first time i pretended to put it in and just pulled it back out, the machine takes a minute but if you dont panic it will go the next screen and just carry on. SA where floating about but if you dont need assistance they dont seem to bother you. I only put a few items through each time then went back for more and so on.

    :eek: :eek: :eek: can I just say ..please dont do this...people have had their cards taken off them in the past....it isnt good practice and its not really in the spirit of true bootsing.,....sorry if I'm offending anyone but if caught it can only mean trouble...and maybe the demise of self service machines...tesco and asda have already covered the slots in some of their store due to people doing this...and putting bits of paper in there instead of coupons

    wombling is picking up discarded vouchers. What you have done is not wombling. Please remember boots have cameras above tills and you could get into trouble for doing this. And as tammigirl says, some stores have covered over the slots at SS tills because of people being dishonest and not putting the coupons in the slot. i'd hate you to get into trouble. Best to stick to wombling :)
