Boots Grabbit Bargains Thread part 3 - post your finds here

Popped into Boots - used the voucher from ATM and got 2 Gorgeous Feet Sets plus the Boots Fresh Sunday set on 3 for 2. Also the basic razors worked with the Botanics lotion.

Also brought a shampoo for 99p (not that I need any more but couldn't help myself), 1 mini Trevor Sorbet shampoo. Used a 100 points voucher for buying any professional shampoo/styling product (not getting the 200 points that I'm sure I read on earlier posts) and free mini product voucher printed from ATM. Oh and I used a tripple points voucher when you buy blades and razors which I don't know if it kicked in or not with the 31p razors.

All this lot for £9.30 and 169 pts. So parts of my X'mas shopping brought. Thanks for all the tips!! :-)

Hi, just posting re the Boots 17 Free Gift, when you spend over a fiver on 17 products - I managed to get one free with a 17 gift set of eyeshadow, mascara and lash curler, they said it wasn't valid and it wouldn't work, and 'Christmas is different' (hello?) - but I said that the signage for the offer mentioned no such thing - was very polite, repeated a couple of times, went off to get different 17 stuff, the SA came over and said they would put it thru for me as the signage was misleading - they couldn't get it to scan, so just gave it to me in the end. I really wanted the gift set, and the free gift, so I was delighted - guess it depends on who's on duty, but give it a go if you want the gift set.

Keep reading about the botanics and razor offer, can't find details instore or anywhere, assume you need a voucher for this - where are these to be found - sounds like a great bargain!!! Thanks Michelle:beer:

I think there is mention of it in the latest instore boots magazine. You don't need a voucher ... just take any hair removal product (i.e. the cheapest one ... boots basics razors) to the till with a bottle of botanics glow lotion (recommend picking up the new style packaging bottle - with the white strip across the top of the label - as the offer doesn't seem to be working with the old style packaging now). The glow lotion should go through free with the razors:)
I think the majority of stores aren't making the offer too obvious (my store has no mention of the offer anywhere).
Hope that helps:)

I tried to get this offer on Monday using points and was refused. I had 2 of the 17 brand nail polishes and the free gift set.
The SA said you can no longer redeem points on offers with free gifts like this one - same with the No7 bag she reckons.. I reckon its poppycock. Have emailed Boots about it. ( I think their emails reply system is playing up today though as I've had 65 automatic response emails from them so far this morning :rotfl: )
Has anyone managed to redeem points for the 17 or the No7 free gifts recently?

i need some help going to boots this afternoon
i will be getting no 7 products worth over £15 so i can get the free gift and getting some childrens medicines with some half price vouchers this should come to under £20 i also have 150 points voucher when i buy a no7 nail vanish i plan to pay using gift vouchers
in a seperate transaction i plan to try to get my botantics lotion with my 31p razors and spend over £5 on no17 to get my free gift set and the free winter survival kit with a purchase of cold relief tablets for 99p i want to use my points to pay for these items
it just seems impossible to get all these deals without paying any actual cash i dont count vouchers as cash cos they are just left over ones
am i likely to meet any glitches with doing this and are there any other offers i could take advantage of
thanks for any help
my brain is doing somersaults

It might be worth getting the christmas collection nail polish and combining this with the voucher on the ACM for extra points on Christmas Collection

Check the machine carefully too, Wednesday is the day that the offers change so you might have some new ones to make use of.

Thanks for the info.

Don't suppose you know whether Fragrance boxsets will be going straight into the sale? The slow-moving stock last year seemed to hang around for ages before it went dirt-cheap.

Also, when's the first day of the sale?

I really cannot say as i don't know,all i was told was the 75% sale bit. as for the start of the sale i am persuming it will start Boxing day or the day after.
