    I have 5 vouchers for no7 & a parenting club £16 no7 voucher-don't know what to buy.Any idea appreciated?

    See my post #82 for no7 voucher ideas. http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.html?t=349088&page=5

    I think you can combine the £16 No7 voucher with a £5 No7 voucher when the 3 for 2 offer is on and get 3 items but just pay for one. To maximise points why not look at what offers you have in the AC machine? Theres money off/extra points in the machine for one of the mascaras and at the moment theres a free skincare gift box - you could make that one of your items. Also I had a voucher on my AC for 500 extra points when you buy 2 No7 skincare products (*hydro quenching? or something like that) so you could think about those as well.

    i wasn't allowed to get the complete skincare toning lotion voucher either-it appeared on screen but i didn't have the option to print, Do you think boots know that i purchased about 5 bottles of the lotion in differnet transactions on friday because they were reduced to 59p and i manged to get 500points for £2.95 spend?

    hi Sonee

    I printed 3 of these off yesterday and then the print button disappeared - some offers are only available for a maximum of 3 per card so thats why you probably couldn't get more. However, I didn't use them as the complete skincare wasn't marked down to 59p.

    Also as an aside the Time Delay starter kit wasn't marked down to half price so I didn't get to use my change one thing voucher, the shelf did look a little empty though so maybe they are scanning half price but some lovely [STRIKE]jobsworth[/STRIKE] SA has taken the sign down? :confused: who knows!

    I went to Boots and saw all was 50% I did suspect that most things would be reduced further but bought a shampoo gift set as there were only two and really wanted it. Wanted a No7 gift set but thought would wait until reduced further. Anyway at least now I have two vouchers worth £8.00 - will try and go to Boots in the morning. Will they take my £5.00 voucher of me gift set if its reduced?

    Can I just ask, how many Botanic items people are buying in one transaction?
    I bought a body buffer and got the responsive moisture lotion free today, but was'nt sure if I could have bought more items and got more than one free thing. There was only one sales assistant on the tills or I would have gone to a different till with more.

    Hi
    Can people confirm that you are able to put through more than one botanics (and of course, a free one!) in a single transaction? Eg buy 5, 5 free.

    TIA inkie

    Sorry, must have been sleeping. Is the Time Delay Starter Kit meant to be half price now too?? Or do you mean it works out at half price with the change one thing voucher?

    Thanks:confused:

    I've been Money Tipped!
    Now the question can you just use them to buy food items? I ususally use mine in Morrisons during my weekly shop and of course that means a mix of food and non food items. Luncheon Vouchers to buy Botanics offers anyone? ;)

    Snap i usually use mine early Monday morning when morrisons reduce their veg/fruit and come out with a huge bag of fresh stuff for nothing! Only find Morrisons take the vouchers without fuss - sainsburys will but with lots of discussion first, co-op won't and Tesco try not to but should.

    Worth a try at boots I suppose especailly if you use the sandwich and crisp vouchers from the change one thing booklets and buy food gift set or drink ones. will try Monday when I buy all my sale stuff!

    enjoy everyone and hope you can find room to stash it all!

    If you can wait and want to spend £15+ on No 7, keep your £5 voucher until 31st January.

    Between Wed 31st and Fri 2nd Feb, if you spend £15+ on No 7, you can use a £5 voucher and get the latest gift free. See bottom of page 21 in the latets Boots mag - this time it's a jewellery bag with miniatures in.

    re-more that 1 Botanics thing in 1 transaction, yep it works!
    Here is what I got today! I went Boots crazy and dragged my mum and my poor old nan around 2 different Boots stores!
    I got in various different transactions, and most of the time using the points voucher (think I used 5 of these, though it should have been 6 as the useless SA I went to last forgot to scan my voucher but took it anyway, didn't realise until got home!so got about 500 points back)
    *9 waffle body buffers (they had loads of these in both stores but both had been cleared out of the body bars and mens cheap shaving foam unfortunately)
    and got free...
    *1x stretchmark corrector - £4.99
    *1x nourishing body butter - £5.00
    *1x enriching body cream - £5.49
    *1x Night shift moisture cream - £5.99
    *1x overnight hand and nail cream - £3.20
    *1x pore perfecting moisture lotion - £3.99
    *1x pore perfecting night cream - £4.99
    *1x first signs of aging face renewal cream - £6.99
    and finally..
    *1x Body sculpting cream - £6.99
    So in all £47.63 of free items, £13.50 spend on body waffles, of which I got £5 back in points so only really spent £8.50 on almost £50 worth of stuff!!!

    I also got with my 2 no.7 vouchers the wipes and eyemakeup remover, both £6 so with vouchers only £1 each!
    Great bargains!!
    I will be stocked up in most things now for ages so it's brilliant!
    The body waffles will be given out as part of gifts next christmas! hurrah!

    Also they looked like they were setting up for the 75% off in both stores so I've been given orders from the family of what to go tomorrow if I can for next christmas presents! If I get them will save a fortune!
