The Great 'Boots Bargains' Hunt

JackieClarrie

I went back into Boots with my friend yesterday to collect my free foot lotion. There was none left so they said I could have anything from the Body Science range so I got a body lotion worth £5.99!!!!! Also I was checking the advantage machine again and got my free panty liners voucher but my friend put her card in and had totally different offers. she didnt get any free vouchers for anything even though she had more points on her card that I did. I had presumed the offers were the same for everyone...apparently not. She did get a voucher for 150 points if she bought a meal deal though whereas my voucher was just for 25.

Boots in Teeside Retail Park, Stockton, have a whole rack of "Body Science freebie" magazines to the right of the till (pharmacy side). They have hand cream and the "tub" of cream on the shelves today. At the other side of the store (make-up) they have a stack of the new issue, in polybags with mini-mag. This minimag has a voucher offering 10% off total spend. I got 150 points on the lunch deal, and free panty liners and free hand cream. Somehow the 10% off voucher was worth £1.17 when my final bill came to £7.58.

I picked up a mag in the manchester store today may/june 05 - but couldn't see the body science voucher - am I looking at the right mag?
I do have a voucher from an earlier postal mail with free body science foot cream when you buy another product from the range - is this the one I should be looking for?

Hi Ros - the May/June mag is the new one, and doesn't have the Body Science voucher in it.

The foot cream voucher you are talking about is the one you can use to get a more expensive product from the Body Science range, and came from the previous months magazine.

it's not the one that was mailed out no, this is another voucher for a free product but you don't have to buy anything to get it. it's on the back pages of the health and beauty mag but i don't know which month this health and beauty mag is - the offers end next week so it's maybe a march/april one. i think the cover is black background, but couldn't say for sure

Yes that's the one, it is the April/May edition with a white cover , Good Luck, I was in Manchester though last week and there was none.

I think Boots have tweaked their tills so that they won't accept more than one points voucher/offer per transaction.
The other day I spent over £15, so used a 100pts on £15 spend voucher and a 150pts on Botanics voucher (both vouchers from the machine). Only the 100pt voucher was registered when I checked my receipt.
Then today, I spent £15 on No 7, automatically getting me 500 points - I also handed over a 100pt for £15 total spend voucher, and the 100pts didn't register.
Can't complain too much, as I part-paid today with my £5 beauty voucher!
Something to watch out for in future, though

... one other point:
how come other people get offered 150 extra points on the meal deal - and I only get offered 25? It's not fair!

Any suggestions for the £5 skincare voucher? I notice that I can use it on Danielle Ryman, isnt there an extra points voucher in one of the magazines? Could I use the two together?

My card didnt give me any points on a meal deal but my husbands card gave 150 points.
