    Yes that's the one. It has 250 point voucher for any No7 product and works with the £5 voucher and also has 300 voucher for any vitamin purchase.

    Careful! Didn't work for me and SA tried 3 times (I got the lip/ eye protector stick thing x 2 and the purple bag with tassles). Was so disappointed!

    Great Vitamin points Loophole !!
    Ok I think I have found the best loophole for the vitamin 300 popints vouchers that you get in the boots bags -boots.jpg.
    If you get a CHANGE ONE THING leaflet, the orange one called Look great there is a voucher for £1 off vitamins etc, use this.
    Then buy the multivitamins 30 pack for £1.69 and you can use the £1.00 off voucher and points voucher. Hence 69p spend .300 points and vitamin pills. The vitamin pills look like these - 000_2502.jpg. :T

    Thanks, That's what I thought. I am going to call CS tomorrow. It's not right that their Oxford Street stores charge more for their products. No other company does this, despite the rent being very high there. I work for a company who have shops all over the country - and a couple on Oxford Street. They charge the same price for their goods regardless of where the shop is.

    I phoned cs once to find out why i had been charged more for a item and was told its a london thing and they thought this was acceptable, i asked them if superdrug and argos do the same? they said that it was perfectly normal. I just found it a bit incredible for a large chain like Boots to do this.

    Oh bad luck Sans.....which didn't work - the 250 points or the £5 voucher? Both have worked perfectly for me 6 times! :o

  • Azzybabe, if you read back you would see this is a nice thread for friendly people who have a wierd - but wonderful - addiction to Boots.

    Now I don't think you're really that mean, and we're always looking for new people, so Boots employee or not, why don't you join in the fun and bargain hunting??

    if i worked in boots id be getting all the bargains wheni worked inasda we were well up on the multisaves and bogof scans that worked with reduced items so we often were paid to take the stuff away. And anyway quick as this glitz is fixed the boots babes will find some more.:T :T :T :T :T :T
    :j I sometimes give myself admirable advice, but am incapable of taking it.

    I'd love some of the purple bags, anyone seen any in East Yorkshire, please?
  • Two things - the first about the different prices in Oxford Street. This has been commented on previously - there does not seem to be 'a Boots price' but a store price. These seem higher in some shops - eg Oxford Street, Boots in stations, etc. Also seen in the sale prices - today I found items that had been 75% off at four other stores but were only 50% off there. Also Bagpuss hot water bottle cover. £3.75 for the lucky ones in store, £7.50 online and £15.00 in all my local stores stocking it.:confused:

    Second - I have expressed previously that I sometimes feel a bit bad about 'taking advantage', but once again it seems we've been helping Boots to clear old stock. A bit like Thresher's 'accidental' 40% off voucher that went into circulation.;)

    I've been into Boots more times this week than in the past year. I'd forgotten how good the meal deal is and how easy it is to accumulate points. I've now signed up for their prescription service and with the number of prescriptions I need they'll do quite well!

    I have also helped to clear the sale stock. This was Boots' choice to reduce it this far and I don't feel guilty about it.:p

    Lets all get on with our tips and ignore any backbiting :D
