    I'm in suspense. Been on here refreshing the page every minute since 9am. How sad am I!!!
  • The thing is my Boots don't have much reasonably priced No7 Sun stock left (I bought a chunk of it yesterday!) and apparently they won't be getting more as its either being discontinued or getting package updating.

    I wil be sooooo gutted if it works and I there is nothing for me to buy lol x
  • Lisle, there was a reduced sticker on but the barcode scanned as normal and was not crossed through, the SA amended the price I think.

    Boots in Oford street (bigger one) - no any signs about No7 being on BOGOF, no Pre holiday Mini skincare treats sets at £5.50, but the glitch worked and SA allow me to have this - she knew this offer, even before scanning items she said: smart you :o

    Lincoln store today:

    Nothing No7 reduced, and no Botanics bars.

    Still some sale stuff, which I've posted on the other thread.

  • Just come back form boots again, picked up a chocolate fondue set marked at £10 but had green christmas sticker on it, went through till at £8. SA said thats not right, its 75% off so only charged me £2.
    picked up 2 no 7 summer lock hair sparay things, sa said you need to get another as they are on special, hot footed it down the aisle and came back with another. Ysed no 7 voucher, also picked up a Botanics body bar in damaged packet for 50p used extra points voucher and picked up moisuriser for £5.50 free.

    ABOUT TO GO TO BOOTS!! If anyone could quickly explain the botanics and no.7 offer (and anyothers) i would be SOOOO grateful! i dont have time to search thru the thread ....i think i get the botanics one...

    and is no.7, 3 for 1 and £5 off using the voucher???

    any others?

    :ABeing Thrifty Gifty again this year:A

  • Oh blimey, I will try (but its quite early and I am only on my first coffee!!!)

    No 7 suncare products are Buy one Get One free
    All No 7 products are 3 for 2
    So, if you buy 2 suncare products you get one item free, then add another No 7 product to your basket and you get that free (because its 3 for 2) and if you have a £5 voucher you use that and can end up with 3 items for £1. (you pay for the most expensive item, minus the £5 voucher)

    So, Glossy locks spray at £5.50 (part of suncare offer)
    plus Shimmery eye and lip Screen at £5.50 (part of suncare offer)
    plus a packet of No 7 wipes at £6 (to make up the 3 for 2 offer)
    plus your £5 off No 7 voucher
    EQUALS........ (drumroll) £1 !!!!!! YAY!!! and it works, I did it the other day. :D

    Hi this was explained to me this morning hope it helps
