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.

without 2 no 7 vouchers, how does the 6 for 1 item work (actually I don't need to know how it works, just need to know whether it would work!- sorry for being dump?

It workd like this:

6 x suncare products @ £6.50 - (3 x suncare products on BOGOF + 2 x suncare products on 342) = 1 x suncare product at £6.50

- £5 No. 7 voucher = 50p

The till processes things logically, not mathematically ... which means it does not eliminate products as it goes along and works on the basis of the total goods bought.

Hope this helps - thinking caps on to all Bootsers, think we deserve some sort of academic qualification for this stuff!

You can only use 1 voucher for the 6 for 1- its still a mega bargain though even if you dont have one.

Eg, if you took 6 of the spf 25 lip & eye shimmer sticks (£5.50 each) to the till you would be asked to pay £5.50 for all 6. If you then redeemed a no7voucher you would only need to pay 50p.
