    Thanks everyone - got my stash of Boots magazines and collected my first Body Science product. And when I went looking for the No7 sun products in the clearance section (which I didn't manage to get by the way) I found some very nice towelling bags with fcuk products in them reduced from £12.60 to £2 - there were four left so needless to say I bought them all !! Am delighted with my bargains.

    went back into my local branch today all ready with my speech, never gave her the chance to speak. she just scanned her hair minimsing lotion and handed it over. was gutted then to see that they had different mags then so could not get any other products for my summer hols, never mind still a good freebie
  • Bought some of the No. 7 sun on clearance yesterday and used the 200 points from the magazine, no problem. Went to a different store today which had a lot more choice but they wouldn't let me use the coupon so I just said I'd not bother. Told her it had scanned in another Boots but she said she knew it would scan but by rights it shouldn't as it wasn't the new sun protection range so I couldn't use it. Wish they'd make up their minds.
    If I had known then what I know now . . .

    New magazines ALREADY @ Boots? Blimey, the last one only came out in the middle of March - and I only got one due to an online order and i think the coupon has probably expired now if new ones are out? I know it is bi-monthly now not quarterly liek the posted-out ones but you'd think it would be nearer the end of May like the last one. Poor Boots will nto seeing so much of me after this Friday anyway - unless they bring back sandwiches and that isn't going to happen *shakes head*.

    i got the old magazine yesterday in boots, they've only got the sculpting mousse left though, i was hoping for some exfoliator.

    maybe they've rushed out the new ones to save money on all this stuff they're giving away?!

    Ooh now that's a good possiblity, but it's their own fault for putting a free gift coupon in the back of the March magazine and not expect people to use it thsue no anticipating demand and then running out of the stuff!

    Anyway, our branch is soooooooooooooo slow at getting magazines in so they'll probably just get rid of all the magazines and the stands until the new ones filter up north, i only got one due to an online order as they never had it in, and our branch is funny about letting people have more than one copy.

    My local branch have removed all body science products from the shelf to avoid honouring this deal.
    Four guns yet only one trigger prepare for a volley.


    Together we can make a difference.

    I went to two Boots on Sat and the shelves were empty of Body Science products so I couldn't use my extra vouchers! I got the feeling thay had taken the items off to save money. I got the body exfoliator on Friday in a different store and they had tons of products out, even at the front of the tills, the ladies knew about the new offer and were giving out the most expensive products! Just goes to show that it depends where you go doesn't it!

    my boots haven't replenished the shelves for more than a week. all they have left are a couple of scuplting mousse. i got one today but thought i should leave the rest of them on the shelf for someone else lol! there were still about 50 magazines out though, so fingers crossed that they restock the shelf, i wanted to try the exfoliator and the gel lol!

    Yay :D
    Finally got to use my voucher today and got my free body cream. The first Boots I tried had no body science products at all. Also, when I checked the advantage card machine I got two vouchers printed out for a free pack of Boots sanitary towels and a free pack of pantyliners so altogether three freebies in one day :D:D:D

    There were no magazines to be seen anywhere, only the new issue which doesnt have any freebies
