The Great 'Boots Bargains' Hunt

However you do get points if you pay with gift vouchers. I suppose if you were going to buy, say, £20 of stuff then you could first buy £20 of vouchers getting the points for these, then go and buy your stuff and pay with your vouchers, geting another £20 worth of points!

Somebody correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think you get points buying gift vouchers. Only when you use them.

Popped into boots yesterday to stock up on supplies and spent over 10.00 thus qualifying for the 5.00 off No7 voucher. The summer sun range by No7 was half price and also on Buy 1 get 1 Free!! A big tub of exfoliator, 2 lip screens & a bottle of hair spritz all for my voucher & 50p!

Two weeks ago my hubby bought 2 boxes of Boots own nicotine patches. They were on special offer - buy 2 for a tenner (or £9.60 or something like that). "Bargain" I thought. It didn't say how long the offer would be on for but said the normal price was £6.40 each so I didn't think that was bad anyway. He went in on Sunday only to find that they are now £13.99!!!! They are buy one get one half price but that still works out at £10.50. I'm livid. I'd have bought the whole 12 weeks worth if I'd have known. Anyone know if I can still get them on offer anywhere? (only the Boots ones as for some reason the Nicotinell etc won't seem to stay stuck to his body )

You should check to see if there's a smoking cessation (sp?) clinic nearby, they give patches & gum free (not on prescription, but free) or he could go to his doc & get patches on prescription. Just a thought. I was in boots buying gum for my dad & a little old lady came up to me & told me where the nearest clinic was

Has anyone been able to use the No 7 £5 voucher as part-payment against the £15-worth of No 7 goods you need to buy to get the freebie bag? I've just heard a customer being told she had to spend £15 on top of the £5 voucher to claim the bag. This was at the cosmetics sales counter however; might be different if you try at a general till.

I meanwhile used me £5 voucher on a £8 lipgloss - and snuck through a 200 points (when you buy No7) voucher from the Boots magazine. So, a lipgloss for a pound!

Also, there's 150 extra points on any Boots hair de-fuzzing products, including the £1.99 bikini removal cream sachets. Makes them very cheap indeed

Yes!!! I have!!!

I spent over £10 on bits and pieces three for two Listerene etc!! (and applied to join the advantage card scheme as I hadn't but thanks to Martin I am in on the hunt now!). Got my £5 off No7 voucher and trotted off to the cosmetics department grabbed a concealer stick for £11 and grabbed two items from the two for one summer skin care range (getting one free! Yippeee). Thus spending £15 or over on No7 and got my lovely bag with excellent bits and pieces (especially love the Mascara and foundation). The best bit was I got given another £5 off voucher as I had spent over £10 in Boots!!!! Lordy was my boyfreind loving me!! He had never seen such penny pinching work so sucessfully. So I went over to the summer skin care bit and got myself £6.50's worth of two for ones (four items summer lip care and face serum x2) and used my No7 voucher for these!! Spending £1.50 and using my voucher!!! Totally cool!!!

Have to say dont usually use boots, Prefer to buy my cosmetics at the local market where I can get major cosmetic brands at half price!

The cosmetics lady is a bit scary (aren't they all?). I always pay at the general tills, they turn more of a blind eye there if you're trying to be a bit cheeky with the offers
