Boots Grabbit Bargains Thread part 3 - post your finds here

ROCKINGHAM

Just popped into Boots - used the voucher from ATM and got 2 Gorgeous Feet Sets plus the 17 Bronzer Gift set on 3 4 2. plus the 17 free gift set. Also the basic razors worked with the new style packaging Botanics. All this lot for £8.31 and ironically 32 pts.

I wonder if we can get our money back on the No 7 mascara - we should do if it is faulty, I got a couple using the ATm vouchers plus the free bags for my 2 sisters in Oz. Someone is taking the pressies down this week so can't wait for the product to come back in store.

Has anyone used the No7 Advanced Renewal Anti-Ageing Glycolic Peel Kit thingy? Noticed today it is reduced to half price (£8) and was thinking of trying it but would be interested to know what other people thought of it?

TIA

I bought it yesterday and used it before going on the razzle. It is fantastic, my skin looked so much fresher and smoother.
Everyone kept saying how well I looked.
While in the Greenford branch I noticed all the Daniel Ryman stuff is 75% off so I got some lovely scrubs, moisturisers and a hand mask that I also used yesterday. It was fabulous and I only paid £2.25 instead of £9.
Does anyone know if the DR stuff is 75% off everywhere?

Update - there is a Save £1 on spend of £5 voucher inside the 17 Gift set - Vaild from 01.01.07 to 31.03.07. Not to be used on price reduced items.!!!!!!

Still might be of use - I do like their lip glosses so unfortunately so does my daughter.

Hi all

Thanks for al the contributions to this thread I think it's great!

I just wondered if anyone could clear anything up for me please?

I went to buy three gifts on the three for two offer today. I asked to pay for one with my advantage points and the other with cash, getting the third free and was told that this wasn't possible. Is this right? It just seems a bit unfair?:rolleyes:

Also, I bought a number 7 bronzer gift set for £8 and took the free gift over £5 spend to the till too. I was told I couldn't have the free gift cos it was a gift set I bought. I said that it didn't say this on the shelf but the SA wouldn't budge. Do you thinks it's worth calling Customer Services to check this out and the query above too?

On a plus note though I did get the Botanics glow lotion with silkymits, tried with the 32p razors but took the wrong bottles up (old ones) and cos of all the hassle I'd alreday had couldn't be bothered!
Thanks for all y0our great tips!

The SA put the Bronzer set thru first so it registered £8 on the till, then I gave her the free gift. I think that in your case it might have registered as the 3rd item on the 3 4 2, which would be free so when she tried with the free 17 gift, the till would state you haven't reached your minimum spend to qualify.

However certainly would call customer services - I always used my points for BOGOFs etc and freebies like the No 7 bag.

Hi, this is correct, you cannot split purchases and use points and cash, you have to use all points or all cash. To pay with both, it would have been two seperate transactions and thus you wouldnt have got the third item free.

Just one item. You could always be cheeky by purchasing a £16 item then returning it without a receipt!!
