The Great 'Boots Bargains' Hunt

Dormouse

Found a new way to spend the men's grooming voucher. It's not terribly moneysaving, but FCUK do nice miniatures for £1.50 each, so you get 2 for free! Quite handy for travel, etc.

I gave in and spent my 3 £3 men's vouchers on 2 FCUK body sprays - one at £3.25, so cost me 25p, the other an Easy Rider limited edition (nice smell) which bizarrely was cheaper at 2.99 therefore free. The other one went on a Trevor Sorbie men's dandruff shampoo - most of the shampoos in the range were £4.99 but the dandruff one was £2.49, so another freebie. And what did hubby say when I gave them to him? "I don't have dandruff". He does get a sore scalp sometimes though (not enough hair to protect it from the elements) and it'll be sorer by the time I've finished with it - grrrr

Anyway, not as much of a thrill as the £5 beauty voucher/No7 500 pts combo a couple of weeks back, but still a freebie (and I mainly gained the £3 men's vouchers through doing the ace Little Me offer in the first place) so can't complain

remember you can use a 10% voucher too, so a 3.50 item will only cost you 15p instead of 50p after the voucher is deducted

I was wondering through boots in sheffield yesterday and noticed some random natural collection stuff cheap. It wasn't in the reduced stuff, but in with the normal things. They had green tea gift set, vanilla musk party set and 3 body washes in a suede-like make up bag all for £2. no reduced labels, the price was just £2, but def a reduction/bargain. So have a look round at the prices, there may be other stuff in bigger stores. Seems a good way of taking totals above £10 for triple points/vochers.

these are on 3 for 2 although they don't scan as this but the assistant should put them through the till for you, this means you get 3 (225mls) free for the voucher

Oh poo! There was no sign on the shelf, and the assistant didn't tell me :mad:. Thanks anyway!

LOL! That's the reason I didn't get that shampoo for my hubby! There's also an FCUK one for under £3 but it's anti-dandruff too -- goodness knows why they think all men have dandruff

Had to go for a Trevor Sorbie shower gel for £2.99 instead :rolleyes: seeing that men dare moan about FREE stuff that someone else gets for them :rolleyes:

Ive never even heard of half the stuff you can use the men's grooming products voucher on - and how many terms and conditions do they need for one teensy bit of paper nowadays?

Yet another promotional voucher which will probably go in the bucket although thats the first time in AGES that ive spent over £10 to even GET one of Boots's various coupons, and THAT was only becuase of the *£10 minimum for Triple Points*,sigh.

Never mind, a kind soul on another forum is sending me her 10% off coupon as Inverness only have loose magazines not poly-bagged ones so no coupons in the ones in Inverness, if they DO get poly-bagged ones IN ill probably get told off for wanting another copy again like one time before when mum chucked mine out by mistake. That's the only reason I got a voucher for the No.7 stuff last month, someone on another forum sent me one as they had shedloads.

Mind you less chances of spending too much means less vouchers and less useless vouchers to go in the bucket!

Have also ordered a total of FOUR CDs from bootsentertainment.com in the last two weeks - i think i need to be kicked off that site! Mind you Im not even paying £32 for them whereas in Inverness I could have ended up paying £21.96 if they were all @ full price @ HMV, and another £1.32 worth of points to boot, tee hee.

advantage card i offered to send you a ten percent voucher earlier, do you still want it?
