I tried to get the sugar scrub free with 2 x cleansing wipes and was charged full price for it. (does the offer only work with the dark green body bar?)However, I spotted this before the SA finished the transaction, so dashed back to the Botanics shelf and grabbed 2 x night shift moisture cream @ 5.98. I was going to ask the SA to try putting the body butter through for free, but she'd already scanned the moisture cream.

I noticed on my receipt I'd received 47 *offer* points. Anyone know what this is for?

I searched high and low for the 99p Botanics bar but didn't find a single one. Tomorrow I will have a look in Boots near where I work. I also couldn't find the Enriching body cream someone here said they had got free.

I was really pleased to receive another 3.00 and 5.00 voucher:j My daughter and I both found one on the floor in Boots the other day, so keep your eyes peeled. Some customers throw them away (Men probably!) so it's always worth having a look around.

the botanics bars may be with soaps they are in my store or with botanics skin stuff both in our local.

Picked up both a Botanics smoothing facial serum (@£7)and a Radiance Night renewal serum (@£9) as my "free" moisturisers, as the skincare SA advised that these were included but during the sale, she decided they were no longer included and changed the link-save. (She did put mine through though):j
The other difference is that they wouldn't accept any reduced item as the original purchase item. Just goes to show how much different stores vary.

I tried my luck with half price botanics gift sets .
Got two at 7.50 and two free body butters.
Sa and I were both surprised it worked.
Can't be long now to the 75% reductions on gift sets.
If it is still working ,that will be a mega bargain!

hi all , i got a couple of botanics items today and then went in for another one as id seen a reduced botanics gelee for £1,50 but was charged full price for my moisturiser and the sa said it was because the gelee was a sale item , yet everyone else seems to be getting thiers with sale items , anyway i paid full price and lurked about for a bit outside and when the sa that served me left the tills went back in to get a refund on my item lol , any ideas why mine didnt go through ??

Did a Boots order online last night & the Botanics offer online is the free Botanics Golden Glow Body Lotion with any other product. This works with the 99p body bar & the price of the body lotion is £4.29. It automatically adds it to your order.

Might be worth it if you are ordering lots of stuff, and there are always extra points codes around to use. Also 6.5% cashback through Quidco.

I was so annoyed at missing the in-store offer that I did indeed buy 8 Botanics Skin Reviving Body Bars online and received 8 Body Glows free . I justified the P&P by convincing myself it equated to the bus fare to my local store!

My theory on why some botanics are link saving and some are not


Bought a Botanics shave gel yesterday and got a mens moisturiser free. Both were in light green packaging.

In a different Boots today, they had the body bars so thought I would get a fivers worth to get a no 7 voucher.

The body bars were in the new dark green box. Only one of the 5 different moisturising products I chose, automatically link-saved and this happened to be in dark green packaging also, all the rest were in light green packaging. The very nice SA did a manual overide and gave them all to me, as it was obvious they were included.

My theory therefore is that the till automatically link-saves light green packaged items together, or the new dark green packaging, but does not recognize one of each presented together. This does not mean that you are not entitled to them, only that you may have to explain to the SA and show them the signs etc.

It is only a theory, and I do fully expect to proved wrong very quickly lol!!

Just had a lovely phonecall from boots customer care who confirmed that the 99p bodybar should linksave with any of the moisturising botanics products and if the till does not automatically linksave then Sa should manually overide it-any further problems then welcome to call boots customer care.Also confirmed that the parenting voucher can be used on any no7 product (ex giftsets)up to £16 and that includes electricals( eyelash curler, trimmer etc)Normally anything over £16 cannot be accepted but if depends on the actual store and if they are prepared to let a customer pay the difference then that is ok!He himself recommended that i use my voucher for the hydroquench overnight treatment which is £16 and also to wait till the 31st of jan as a new no7 jewellry pouch with free gifts will be given with purchase over £15.

Liverpool City Centre has them Louise (assuming you didn't go to every single North West store yesterday )

There are none in the speke store,also all of
the £1.37 shave gels and 99p soap bars have sold out.

Someone had put all the shave gels on the
wrong shelf so they let me have one of the regular
priced ones for £1.37 instead.

Will have to try town instead

Cant grumble so far I have had

two shave gels
shower gel
body butter
body masque
golden glow SPF12

total spend £5.74
