... 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!

I get a meal deal say every 3 weeks and I got a 100 voucher. My friend, who has never bought a meal deal before got a 150 voucher.
Do you buy a lot of meal deals?

I used my Body Science voucher today to get a free tub of exfoliating cream worth £5.99. Thing was, the machine was giving out vouchers for 300 Advantage Points for Body Science (excluding Foot cream, lol) products. Nice sales assistant happy to try both vouchers so managed to both get it free and with an extra 300 points!!!

I bought a reduced scarf and glove set (£3.50), a red meal deal + extra bottle diet coke (2 for £1.19), Time Delay eyebright stuff (£5.50), Body Science stuff (£5.99). Used a £5 off skincare voucher, a free Body Science products voucher, a double points coupon, 25 points meal deal coupon, and the 300 points Body Science coupon.

Total to pay - £6.73 - total points awarded - 377

Oh My sister has just got a free Body Science item with a voucher and we saw the coupon for the Body Science 300 points on the machine but we didn't think it would work so didn't use it. I wish we had now !

never mind I'm learning, topped up my mobile to get some points and a skincare voucher.

Wasn't sure if it would either, but decided it was worth a go

This voucher expires today I think, so last chance for everybody to go get their free Body Science stuff.

Good point - yes I do!
I suppose I've been lucky, they've given me the 25pt meal deal voucher every day for the last three weeks or so... Adds up nicely!

Have found a way of getting 750 points for a £4.50 spend online, a profit of £3 in points

Buy 3 x Millie & Ruby Cosmetic Sponges which cost £2 each but have a promotion for 250 points each (also a Chanel perfume sample each). Use one of the £5 discounts from the Discount board to reduce the order value to £4.50 including delivery.

I don't BELIEVE this!

Yesterday I had an accident and fell - long story.

Anyway after all that Mum took me to the Inverness Retail Park Boots, otherwise now known as The Branch with the Meal Deals.

Except

A I forgot to check the machine as we were in a hurry

B I forgot they had Meal Deals as I am now so used to goign into the Eastagate Centre outlet which hasn't had these since last August.

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

Great post, but "Sorry out of stock!"

I've just started getting into this whole 'boots' thing and thought i'd share my most recent finds!

I wanted to get some sun lotion for my holiday and saw that No7 were doing bogof on their suncare. I chose one for £12 and chose a body buffer for £5.50. Now they are doing 500 extra points on a £15 No7 spend, and i didn't think they would go through as essentially i was only spending £12 but it did.

I also bought the No7 cellulite cream which was £14.50, and the offer gives you 500 extra points for each £15 you spend so i got another 500. I then used a skincare voucher to get £5 off.

I had a points voucher for 200 extra points on no7 suncare from the mag, as well as 250 extra points for buying the cellulite cream from the machine, as well as 75 points on a £10 spend

So all in all i spent £21.50 and got 1525 in points
