the £5 off No7 stuff didn't work on sale stuff for me, tried using it for the makeup bag with the pics of lipsticks on the front (reduced to £6.50) but the voucher wouldn't scan. noticed a day or two later that they now have printed out notices saying the vouchers can't be used on sale stuff.

i don't use No7 stuff much and its all over a fiver so just got some self-tan wipes, £1.50 each but on 3for2 so got 4 (total £4.50) for free.

Thanks bedshape for the list ... i was hoping for the list of items in the sale that the voucher works with.

what are the best things to buy with the No7 £5 voucher? i.e. those things that you don't have to put much towards it.

there is a no7 pencil sharper for £5 ... so will have to add nothing

the no7 whisper nailpolish is on for £5.50 so you can pay 50p towards that
and the no7 matte lip palletes are £6 so you can pay £1 towards those same with the wipes.I/ve just looked onlient he no7 sunless tanning kit looks lovely and its only £6- worth the £1 to pay in my opinion.

just found eyeshadow brush £5.50 so pay 50p
no7 pre-holiday min skincare treats £5.50(bogof)
no7 shimmering lip&eye screen( its on bogof &works on eyes -i want it!)

Has anyone been to Birmingham Fort and Princess Alice Drive Boots - trying to work out if I can justify going to both tomorrow pm after work. Hubby will kill me - have spent over £100 in Boots over the last week. He's already had a fit on Saturday (his birthday) when the Xmas credit card bill came with his birthday cards (well Boots doesnt sell the toys that our little boy 'needed' for Christmas or the food shopping or the car service).

The free moisturiser did work with the fabric botanics bags for me this morning (that was the Solihull store by Homebase).

Also need some more friends for all my bargains - think I could do Christmas 2008 as well as 2007.

I also seeked a No 7 palette to no avail - if anyone can spot one and would be able to get me one (I would send you the money and postage first) I would be eternally grateful. I also have loads of sale stuff so if there was anyhting in particular anyone was after that I had I would be willing to swap.

Is this the leather drawer type thingy, was £50 now £12.50.
Had a few left in one of my stores today, and if this is the thing your after,
I will try tomorrow for you

so does that mean if theres are no7 items below £5 you can buy up to the £5 amount?i was under the impression that if i wanted the self-tan wipes i would have to use 1 £5 voucher for 1 wipe at £1.50 without any change or othet product.

Found the soap today. Spent £5.94 & got over £22 free botanics creams & 300 extra points ( I had run out of vouchers)

ALSO

got mr. bucket £3.74
Cranium sea-side £3.74
Twister & frisbee £3.24
Alarm clocks £1.75

All these were reduced by 75% or more. I think they were getting ready for tomorrow.

I asked them to scan the sea side game and it was still £14.99 today in my local store

So are the perfumes going to be 75% off tomorrow.Does that mean miss sixty elixer will be about £5ish at 75% off.

I went to my local and very small boots in wymondham (wilds of norfolk) today and they had a very small 75% off section. I managed to grab some bargains though which had sold out online including the No7 beauty bag at £5, Lynx (i think) gift packs which included bower shorts or a belt and loads of other smellies. Everyone else in the shop was ignoring this section so I can only assume they are loaded are there are no other MSERS in wymondham :rolleyes: Which would be good news for me if it was true. I paid for it in small lots to get the maximum number of No7/haircare vouchers too....

Then when my baby went to sleep I checked boots online and found out they thay had restocked some of the 75% off items including the chocolates, chocolates and mug, pocket knife etc. I think loads of other people had spotted this as they were flying out of the shop quickly and sold out whilst I was trying to buy them. I did get some stuff though and got 500 extra points by using a code on a £50 spend. May be worth keeping an eye on the site for it happening again. (the only problem is I think I have now spent her family allowance on boots bargains so I am a guilty mummy as charged!)
