Got a box for 37p yesterday, SA must have took 75% off £1.50!! Trouble is they've been eaten now - reach for Tesco Slimfast!:rotfl:

£5 OFF vouchers validtill 2nd February.
From January 31 spend £15 or more on No7 and get FREE No7 jewelry bag. I think you an combine these two vouchers (£16 and £5) to get it to £30 and get 2 jewelry bags per transation.
A few months ago No7 Sun kit (£24,50) went through the tills Ok with parenting club £16 OFF voucher for free. If this still works, you an take something for £5,50, use £5 OFF and pay 50p for 2 items plus get 2 FREE jewelry bags for free :T Worth waiting till 31 January I think

I had to laugh when I read this. It makes perfect sense to me, but I know if I showed it to DH he wouldn't have a clue what we are all talking about. He says Bootsing is as complicted as trading exotic bonds and we should all be working in the City! :rotfl:

Is all No. 7 on 342?

as far as I'm aware it is.
I think you just have to make sure your last item is something that you can use your £5 voucher with. HTH

Does any know for def if other peoples advantage card print outs from the machine work with other cards.

I think they do cos i found someones print out left in the machine for the free minature and used it with my card and it worked!
Also used my mums postings with my card (with her consent, shes not into money saving!) and they worked too.

so Caz you could look out for any distarded ones(more wombling):)

Just re-iterating a post that I posted on Monday. This thread has been very active so just incase anyone missed the NATURAL COLLECTION EYE SHADOW OFFER.

Advantage point machine offers vouchers for 50 points if you buy ANY NATURAL COLLECTION EYESHADOW - SINGLES OR DUOs.

NORMAL PRICE OF SINGLE = £1.69 but they are currently on offer for 99p

Therefore: Eyeshadow = 99p
Points back with voucher = 50p
= EYESHADOW EFFECTIVELY COSTING YOU 49p.

Happy Shopping!!!

I went into our boots its the Yardley lavender
range that has the free gift.You can chose
between a candle,umberella or a towel.

It stated buy ANY yardley lavender product
and pick a free gift.

So with this in mind and noticing that on the
website the Yadley lavender gift sets are 75% off
with a free gift.I searched tound ours for one
found one sat in a basket almost behind the till.
so took it and went to another till.

In our store they only had the towels on
the display stand.So grabbed a towel and
tried my luck.Well the superviser had to do
a till over ride to get it to work but the
£9.95 set I bought I got for £2.50 inc the
towel.

Its worth mentioning here it does not exclude gift sets
or minatures as you would expect.

nice towel too

Is this online too? I bought one of the Yardley gift sets online last week. I didn't receive a free gift though:(
The So gift set I bought online had 2 items missing from the box...cheek! I sent them an e-mail 2 days ago regarding the missing items, but they haven't replied as yet.

The store I visited yesterday didn't have the No 7 Suncare advertised as 'BOGOF' either (I think they're trying to hide it). However, when I took 2 of them to the till with another No 7 product (on '3 4 2'), they did scan as both 'BOGOF' & '3 4 2' - both discounts/promotions kicked in. So, in theory, with my No 7 voucher, I should have got all 3 products for £1! However, the 'Troll !!!!! From Hell' SA decided it was just too good a deal & so voided the transaction - she would only let me have BOGOF.
However, I think you just have to have a go - by trying different stores & different SA's within them (they vary a lot within store). Lots of people on here seem to have had success with both.

I think it's best to buy quite a few other things at the same time & the magnitude of the saving on that one promotion is 'hidden' a little better

It's the same at my local store. No BOGOF signs up and the No7 sun range is upstairs (No7 cosmetics are downstairs).

This morning I bought more sale stuff. I know, I'm completely nuts:rotfl: I just can't resist a bargain.

I asked a SA near the No7 sun range why there were no BOGOF signs up when other stores had put signs up. I told her I was annoyed that I'd bought some stuff earlier in the week and had I known they were on BOGOF I'd have got the one item free. She tried to tell me the offer only started yesterday and they hadn't had time to put the signs up...yeah, right! she called another SA over (could be her boss) and she told me the truth. They hadn't put signs up because if you buy 2 items on BOGOF and 1 on 3 4 2 you only pay for 1. She said she doesn't want anyone to know about the loophole. Well, she's told the wrong person then:D Obviously, I didn't have the nerve to try this when she'd just told me she didn't want anyone doing it. So I grabbed 2 hair spritz when she had her back turned and ran downstairs and found my fav SA on the till. I got the 2 on BOGOF used 5.00 voucher and paid 50p. On saturday I will try the 3 4 1 in London. I hope I can wait that long. I am dying to give this a try:D

I got given a 'Win £1000' slip with my receipt today. I'm a Boots newbie and the SA said they rarely come out of the till so I should definitely ring up and answer the survey questions for the chance of £1000. Was she having a larf at my expense or is this really worth doing? It is a freephone so it would only be my time I'm spending, lol.
