    I've got another question (which I know all you experts will be able to answer!): When getting the no7 deals (ie BOGOF suncare,3 for 2 and using £5 voucher), is it better to go to a no7 till, or the general tills?


    Its pot luck to be honest but I do tend to steer clear of the No7 counter - i prefer the pharmacy counter or the photo processing counter if its not too busy there as they tend just to get on with the sale rather than scrutinising all your shopping. The pharmacy ladies at my local today were happy to see me go away with bargains for pennies, even asked what they can buy to get the right deal :D

    with any no7 offers i always go to the main tills, infact anywhere other than the no7 tills as they usually arent aware of the deals and just put it all through - the no7 tills tend to pick at what you are meant to get etc. :)

    As ever thanks to everyone for posting on this thread. Today I managed to get £137 worth of goods for just £27 :j

    That was a combination of 75% off gift things, and the £5/£3 vouchers. Wish I'd bought more now really give what good bargains there were, but I didn't want to get carried away, and besides I couldn't have carried anything else!

    At work tomorrow ( in a bigger town) so may try and nip out and see if I fair any better there!
    If not friday lets hope its a different SA. We have a few miserable SA's who never say hello, smile etc and like some one said earlier its not like we're taking their wages from them personally!

    Good Idea - I'll start with the stores I've been to in the last couple of days

    West Bromwich (visited 16th Jan) Very little left in sales aisles except plenty of wrapping paper and tags.

    Walsall - Park street (main branch by New Look). Not really much to speak of in here either apart from about 30 of the £6.50 gorgeous bags and reduced no7 christmas collection items. Again wrapping paper and tags aplenty.

    Walsall - Small branch in Saddlers centre. Has a few clearance items. Fruit Fusion? Intense conditioner sachets 20p each, various blades for boots razors and a few wilkson sword all 50p per pack. A couple of packs of 4 and 8 king of shaves blades 25p and 50p per pack. A couple of reduced botanics items. About a dozen each of the No7 Xmas lip gloss sets and the lip and body shimmer jewel sets £3.75 each (not scanning free with the No7 voucher). They also had about a dozen of the no7 lipstick design gift bags £6.50 each - apparently don't scan for £1.50 with the No7 voucher (did ask SA but she wouldn't even try it for me). Lots of Homer simpson talking bottle openers - were £7.50/ £8 ish but offered at 75% off.

    They had a few other reduced or clearance items dotted around on the normal shelves too.


    Solihull Sears Retail Park- Visited 17th Jan- Very little left few mens sets, breakfasts trays, beer sets

    Shirley, Stratford Road Visited 17th Jan- Vitually empty

    Birmingham High St Visited 16th Jan- Some gifts remember to check downstairs too, lots of food items & wrapping paper/ cards

    Very little left in East Kilbride store ( retail Park) but they do have a lot of the Lipstick no 7 bags and they go through with the £5 Voucher - I just asked SA to check and she was delighted too, that it worked!

    Braehead - Glasgow - Only a few shampoo sets left and a Electronic football Pinball game ( looked good) reduce from £20 to £5, and a ball shooting game. They had a few shelves of these yesterday but that was about it.
