I just got my joining vouchers from the boot parenting club what's the best way to use them to get free stuff?

I'm not being funny here India but may I suggest ,that the first step to getting MSE'rs to give up their time to advise you on the best way to use your parenting vouchers is to add 'please' to your post.

I got some Roc tanning lotion reduced to £2 so keep an eye out for this.It seems that Boots have reduced a lot of their false tan stuff,the soltan was also reduced.

After reading all the tips on here today I just had to visit my local Boots to see what I could get. Unfortunately, the ACM vouchers seem to vary from place to place as I didn't get offered some of the ones that other posters did. HOWEVER, I did buy three silkmits to get three Botanics body lotions (I'm putting some hampers together for my nieces so all bargains are appreciated). Terrible mix-up at the counter - the SA had only started on the tills that day -and somehow I have managed to spend less than £10 but get around 150 points added to my card! :j :j :j I suspect that as I had done two different transactions and the supervisor was called to add the points, I was given points both by the SA and the supervisor.

Would it be wrong of me to go back tomorrow and get some more?

A HUGE thank you to everyone who has posted tips on here - it has made buying presents for my nieces sooooo much cheaper.

Hi,

Just got back from Boots, i picked up a pack of 39p paracetamols and asked the SA to put it through with the winter suvival pack, unfortunately it didn't work . It does work with the next cheapest item Boots cold and flu relief hot blackcurrant. It is priced up as £1.99 but it does go through the till at 99p.

The winter suvival pack is really good!. It contains :

Hi - I meant that I had complained about the machine not working in the store that I have to travel to, to use the machine!! I found the manager and complained about the machines never working and she said she would phone to get it sorted. I have not complained about my local store not having a machine yet. Hope it clears up any misunderstanding of my post (sorry ev1 who didnt get what I was posting).

sorry for missunderstanding. i was just joking, thats it! actually, i would like to have a AC machine, but i dont think somebody will do anything about it :rolleyes:

I went in today, and on the AC machine it had a coupon for "Triple points when you buy a Delicious cereal bar."

Doesnt say anything else on the coupon. so i went to the till (only with a meal deal and the cereal bar) and it wouldnt accept the voucher. She tried 4 times, trying to fob me off every time with "is it a cereal bar"?.......... yes. "Is it a Delicious cereal bar"?.......... yes. "Ah the coupon is out of date" .........no its not ive just printed it off. she finally called the supervisor to put the points on manually.

the total amount of points I got was 13, so technically i should have got 39 (triple points remember, no other t&c on the coupon). she put 4 points on manually (just triple points on the bar itself). I said, why have you only put 4 points on? she said, because its triple points on the bar. I said it doesnt say that. after 10 minutes of arguing, she snatched my advantage card from my hand and said "for gods sake, for the sake of a few points!" and put another 12 points on!!

This made 29 and i was insulted for my trouble. Needless to say a very snotty email has just gone to customer services. :mad:
