    Yes, Evonic, I've done that as well with pay-as-you-go.

    At the moment, there's BOGOF on Tresemme products with the shampoo and conditioners being 500ml. I reckon it works out cheaper at the moment than the 900ml bottles from Wilkinsons.
    Don't delay, do it today!
  • There's still two gigantic bottles of the TRESemme conditioner knocking aorund our bathroom, the 900ml ones i think, as Mum didn't think it was that good, not tried it msyelf but i don't always get on with cheaper ones loaded with sillicones.

    Calmed down a bit about Boots now after my *i am in a foul modd with them* post earlier, but it stinks that i feel dis-advantgaed because i can't drive so i can't easily get to the Retail Park.

    Noticed the last time i was at the Retail Park that branch now has permission to dispense NHS prescritpions which it didn't previously have, so im just corssing my fingers that the Eastgate Centre branch isn't in peril. Me and my grandmother *driver, so didn't have to pay 37 that time! phew!* went on a sturday and it was mobbed but they anticipated demand had plenty people on the tills even people on the floor and people were getting caleld to come to tills.

    Hunt out their reduced tights. I bought 9 boxes of 5 pair packs of tights which were reduced to £1.26 each pack. Buy 2 packs though and get 3rd pack free. Also did anyone else notice that the gift bags ie. addidas wash bag with shower gel etc were reduced to 75% off for 1 week then went back up to 1/3rd off and then 50% off later. Glad I got them at 75% off :)

    I love the Tresemme conditioner for coloured hair. It makes your hair really smooth and silky but with no build up. Also use it on daughters hair after her daily swim. Normally cheapest place is Tesco (£3.80ish for 900ml).

  • i love Boots! i have to be one of their worst nightmares. I check out their stuff all the time and save on every shop. Since christmas alone i have saved well over £200. I have spent at most £100 in the process. My local is a very small branch so they are always changing their stock.
    Todays ridiculous bargain was the lotus blossom cuticle softener/ hand cream sachets which were being cleared - i certainly helped them with that!! They were originally £1.49. They cost me 20p each today and were on 3 for 2. Instead of spending £27 ( i bought 18) i paid £2.40! Crazy! You can't argue with that though can you.

    Hiya furrypig the lotion amd moisturiser are no.7 it has to be no.7 to get the free bag, it's a nice makeup bag with freebies inside go to Boots.com and it will show you.


    I wasn't very happy about having to buy No.7 cos most of it's overpriced in my opinion but I made an exception to get the bag.

    I have to admit, I was quite impressed with the contents of the free bag - better than usual freebies!

    They still have lots of half price summer sun No.7 products at my local Boots - would I get a free bag if I bought 15 quid of these do you think?

    Thanks to everyone who post comps - you are all :cool2:
  • Free No7 pink make up bag and contents are worth having, nice lipstick and mascara as well as mini size cleanser, moisturiser, day cream and foundation, bag itself is also nice quality. Inside I received another voucher giving me £2 off No 7 foundation or skincare and 250 points, plus when I paid I was given a £10 electrical beauty voucher to be used with a purchase from either Nicky Clarke, Braun, OralB, Sonicare or Toni & Guy. Not bad really?
