Boots Grabbit Bargains Thread part 4 - post your finds here

mrsw

Just back from Bootsing. Staines Boots has loads of H&B magazines, and they now have the Botanics body bar back in stock. Result! Bought one and got the Night Shift moisturiser worth £5.99 free.

They also had one last mango delirium gift set left. The box was slightly battered so it had a clearance price sticker for £10. But it went through the till for £5. Anyone know what the full price for this gift set was?

The male SA was gobsmacked that my total purchases came to 5.99. For some reason, the till didn't prompt him to give me a £5 no7 voucher, so I had to ask for one.

Just to make sure I get this right, would this no7 combination work:

glossy locks spritz £5.50 (free on BOGOF)
lip eye uva shimmer £5.50 (free on 3 for 2)
no7 eyeshadow £6.50

So total would be £6.50, minus £5 voucher = £1.50 to pay?

yes thats right let us know how you get on

Just noticed that Boots online are offering free delivery for purchases over £35 at the moment.

Thanks for the confirmation! I'm new to all this and want to make sure I get the best bargains - meant to be revising for exams though, so should really wait until the weekend, but I'm not sure I'll be able to wait that long...!! Going to make a list of all the things I should get, vouchers to use etc. Hope nothings out of stock or that will really mess things up :think:

Here's what I did on my first 2 transactions just to give you some idea

The £6.50 make up bag (purple with gold handle) with 2 of the suncare items (glossy locks spritz, body buffers or eye/lip screen) is a good way to start - total to pay £1.50.

Then got 2 more suncare items plus wipes - took out the vouchers inside that bag I just paid for.. one is for 250 points when you buy any no7 item.. used that when I paid for 2nd transaction. (i had multiple No7 vouchers to use up)

Got Haircare item as well had £3 professional hair voucher to use
AC machine is giving 100 extra points for Trevor Sorbie Hair items , I got one for £3.99 leaving 99p to pay

Total so far £1.99 after vouchers have been scanned (+350 points; 250 for No7 & Poss 100 Points Trevor Sorbie)

Both No7 and £3 hair voucher will scan in same transaction so using them together it looks like you've got more to pay for - less likely the Sa will notice the double discount on the No7 that way .

Then bought multivitamins for £1.99 - theres a voucher in the change one thing booklet for £1 off - use this too leavin 99p to pay. Used other voucher from purple no7 bag - 300 points when you buy any herbal or vitamin product (lots are less than £3 so Boots are paying you, albeit in points, to take them away. I

Total spend now £2.98 points received 650 so far :beer:

You could buy something else worth over £2.02 to take your total to over £5? I got botanics lip balm £2.50 Plus free moisturiser - got the most expensive to maximise this offer used 100 points voucher from mag.

I'd then spent a total of £5.48, got another set of vouchers and gain of £7.50 in points. Kerchingggg :rotfl:

Wow I am impressed, you are good at this, you could be my mentor, what do you think?????????????

I think Lousie was replying to my question about cheap hot water bottles. All the funny replies have really tickled me, so much that I could do with a BOGOF or similar deal on Tena ...
