    Yaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyy

    Got checked out, I got the Ardenbeauty perfume with the free tote bag, also a 17 lipstick and lipliner for £6.xx with the free Glam Rocks set. £21.43 for all 5 items wayhey!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D The parenting club discount didn't come off but never mind.


    Mum is going to love that bag! No idea what the perfume is like but will get her to sniff 'a few' next time we're shopping together and see if she likes it. If not, it'll be eBayed or added to my gift stash.

    I use the 17 lippy anyway (Shell - fab colour) and will give the lip liner and eye set as pressies.

    Thanks again claire21!!!!

    OMG just checked my card, the £5 did come off!!!! I got all 5 items for £16.43! Didn't even bother with cashback as I just wanted to get the items before they went OOS.

    Plus £1.95 delivery though and no bag.
    It's also unboxed and has no lid.

    I just felt i should add that the deal wasnt about the price of the perfume it was about getting the tote bag without spending £45, so sorry to anyone who thought it was the best price for perfume.

    It was the tote bag combined with the £5 voucher that made the deal. Take the fiver off and you still have the perfume and the bag for under a tenner. The other £5 of goods needed I would have bought anyway - paracetamols etc. lol

    .........or being in the Happy Persons Club when you are a miserable git. :D

    If you don't want to commit "fraud" don't sign up with an "imaginary" baby, but if you want to take advantage of a "glitch" and reduce your payment by £5 a time, then go for it.

    The choice my friends is all yours to decide.

    This whole conversation looks slightly bizarre now that Lynsey has deleted her post that prompted my comment...

    And I agree with SandraScarlett (hi there :wave:), I remember folk getting in difficult situations in Boots and having their Advantage Cards revoked.
    And I would imagine that Boots are able to make a pretty good judgement about whether a person is eligible to be a member of the Parenting CLub by looking at the spending patterns associated with that card. I'm guessing they have all the evidence they need .....
