First time trying to do this so bear with me. Plan of action:

Go onto points machine see what is available/ print off useful ones

Scan boots mag so it is free and take out coupon for 100 points.

Buy 3 x botanics body bars get 3 free moisurisers
Buy 2 x botanics buffer scrub things get 2 free moisturisers
Total should be £5.97. Should get £5 no.7 voucher plus triple points.

Buy No.7 cleanser £6.50
Buy No.7 toner £6.50
Buy No.7 foaming face wash £6.50

Total £19.50 but 3 4 2 and BOGOF kicks in so total is £6.50 -No.7 voucher for £5 - 100 points voucher- triple points. So effectively paying 50p ish.

Please tell me this will work. I couldn't sleep for thinking about how to do it. How sad is tht???

Rebecca, good plan with the Botanics, but there is a flaw in your No.7 plan. The three products you have selected are STANDARD so will just be 342, so you will pay for TWO items.

If they were SUNCARE, you would get 342 and BOGOF so pay for ONE item ... ie, 2xsuncare + 1xnormal OR 6xsuncare.

Hope that helps, online so keep asking if unsure.

Second that Tenzing, would be very grateful if someone could confirm this in store ... or I'll just have to take one to the till and ask my evil SAs - they think I'm such a ninny and have taken ALL the magazines away because of me ... I've only had about ten

In those strange little "time for change" booklets there are money off coupons. I can't remember what it's called, but the pale orange one has a voucher in to get the time delay starter pack half price.

Hope this helps....

Thanks Janiegs, for other Bootsers, the change one thing voucher for look fabulous or something like that (I wish!) give £5 off the Time Delay starter pack, so IF it's half price that means that it will cost you 50p after the voucher!

Let us know if you can confirm half price Time Delay Starter Packs!

Hi guys

Looking for a bit of advice:rolleyes:

I need to buy a new No7 face powder priced at £9.50. Would I be able to buy it with BOGOF and 342 and £5 voucher that you are all talking about? If so, what would be the best way?

If you already have a £5 no7 voucher try this transaction 'A'; (if not buy things you need to the value of £5, top up your mobile or try transaction 'B' first to get one)
A)
face powder
spf 15 or 25 face cream (yellow box)
pre holiday firm your body balm (white box)

With the voucher this would leave £4.50 to pay (suggest making up to £5 so that you will be given another voucher- see botanics below, or buy chocolate :T )

If you WERE given another voucher after transaction 'A' go back in for

spf 25 lipshimmer (yellow box)
brightening body buffer (white box)
hair spritz (yellow box)

with the new voucher this would leave 50p to pay (£5.50 without voucher if this is your first transaction- earning you a voucher for next time)

Its good to buy other things at the same time to disguise the double discount if you are nervous, how about

botanics body bar (costs 99p- ignore £2 labels)
botanics sculpting body cream in tall green box (normally £6.99- but free with body bar)
Frizz ease shine serum. small clear bottle in a cardboard sleeve (normally £3.30 but 30p when you use the haircare voucher.

Dont usually TELL people what to buy but lots of people are confused with the no7 3 for 1 so i thought it would help. All suggested items are boxed so can be used as gifts if not really what buyer would use.

sorry for the dump question, but can you use two £5 No7 vouchers in one transaction
