    Got a tube of Sanctuary Moisture Lotion SPF15, 75ml for half price today at £5.88 and got the pampering case free with this. Great spot OP! Am so tempted to go and buy another tomorrow as the lotion is something I will actually use soon. Although there were only a few of the free pampering gifts left on the shelf - wouldn't be suprised if they run out soon! Also picked up a few Nivea deos for 50p, some handwash for 28p, 4 pack of peach soaps for 25p and some shower gels for 15p. Also got the £5 facial voucher. All in all, a great shop!

    Went instore after work, and was hoping to pick up some of the facial wash. But someone had obviously beaten me to it!! Nothing is maked as half price, so I was frantically trying to remember what was half price! Ended up buying the hot cloth cleanser (currently use Liz Earle) and the face exfoliator. Also used my No7 Voupon for some nail polish. The GWP is nice. Its got the body scrub, body wash, bath soak and body lotion. Would be a great gift, but Im sure I'll end up using mine!! I got the following savings:

    Sanctuary Hot Cloth Cleanser: £4.89 (was £9.78)
    Sanctuary Radiant Skin Exfoliator: £4.47 (was £8.95)
    Sanctuary Pamper Case: £0.00 (was £10.00)
    No. 7 Nail Dreamy: £1.75 (was £6.75)
    1 Yorkie Bar (it was teasing me at the checkout!): £0.69

    Total: £11.80
    Saved £24.37


    I'm happy :j:j:j

    Thanks to the great Bootsers :D

    Yes you should stock up and go back again or to another branch.
    I have a few stores in a 8 mile radious and I am always checking them out.

    I went to poole yesterday and got the GWP and went to branksome today and got the GWP,
    So have two gift sets now and 1 face wash 1 toner and 1 moisture lotion all for £11.74 :)

    Remember to look in both sections of the store for the Sanctuary facial skin care.
    In both branches I went to these items were located in two different places and both areas marked up differently.

    I popped in to Boots on my way to work this morning and bought Protective 24-hour moisture lotion SPF 15 for £5.89 (originally £11.77) and got the GWP. Really chuffed as I have nearly run out of a mini size of this moisturiser and love it. It's great under makeup - it really gives your skin a glow and is particularly good for the winter months. I have already got one of these pamper cases as it was a gwp last year and so this latest one will come in handy as a gift for someone.

    Yep, nothing marked as half price in Bristol Broadmead but it still went through half price - bought the collagen night cream and the SPF 15 day cream so got two GWP - thanks OP!

    Thanks, I ordered some bits on line- brilliant price. I'm not bothered about not getting a free gift. It's normally a bit pricey for my budget so for me half price is great. I didn't want to wait until tomorrow to find out that they don't have the free gift in store either. :D

    Sanctuary skincare in my local is in with other skincare and not near other sanctuary products including gwp, gwp was finshed on display with other sanctuary but loads on a display in centre of the store.

    Just a little tip folks......I purchased some Sanctuary gift sets for myself as the small bottles are great for taking away. They fit in your liquid allowance bag when flying as they were 100mls. However I was recently stopped at Luton Airport going through security for a random test. Basically they opened one product and poured a small amount on some sort of testing strip. It turned blue which indicated an explosive risk. they then went on to test the other sanctuary products which in turn also turned blue. Then they took the whole lot off me and binned them....gutted.....some money saving idea that was. !!!!!
