Boots Grabbit Bargains Thread part 4 - post your finds here

at crown point tonight, they had lots of botanics stuff reduced, but it had the bar code crossed through & a sticker with the reduced price on.
wasn't sure if the free moisturiser would kick in or not, anyone know?

they had lots of no7 evening bag sets reduced to £5 and other bits n bobs.

i messed up with the bogof & 3-4-2 offer, so i need to return the suncream. do they accept suncream returns?

i must start writting down what to do before i leave home!

Can I ask, as someone relatively new to Boots (other than for nappy buying), what's the best item to use the £5 No7 etc voucher (from the little book) on?

I'm not a make-up type of person - I get totally lost looking at all the displays, and the SAs in my local aren't overly friendly, but I was wondering about cleansers or something.


Seems a shame to let it go unused

Hi - I know some people have been able to get the gift bags (£6.50) and the hair spritz (£5.50) with these vouchers - making the spend £1.50 or 50p - but in my store these won't go through with the vouchers and the SA's (and they are lovely and polite and nice!) won't manually override the till. So I've been getting these :

They're really nice and cleanse, tone, mositurise and remove eye make-up in one wipe! And they'll only cost £1 with your voucher (I'd never normally pay £6 for these!). I'm a very busy person (as I'm sure you are if you have kids!) so these are a godsend!

^ i looked all around and found the john freida serum for 3.30 which i paid 30pence for, not really a good buy for me cos i didnt really need it but just wanted to spend the voucher:o

I bought 3 of these with my £3 off vouchers but changed my mind when I got home.

I took 2 of them back the next day and exchanged them for some humbugs in a jar and a shaun the sheep water bottle cover :j

Sa never asked for my receipt and I got change also!

Thanks for this- might try Crown Point at the weekend if I can find it! (not good with directions!)
Do you know if they have much in Leeds city centre?
Thanks- There wasn't much left at Colton (Leeds) on Monday night

I bought a 99p tube of moisturiser at lunchtime. The barcode was not crossed through but there was a reduced sticker on it. I got the £6.99 eye cream for nowt as part of the deal.

I tried a reduced Yardley lavender set - £5 for the 125ml and a soap, as compared to the 125ml full price on its own at £11.95. They wouldn't let me have the free candle/umbrella/towel with it. :rolleyes:

Also got the radiant colour sets reduced from £10.00 to £1.25, but they wouldn't let me use the £3.00 voucher against it. :rolleyes:

Very nice SA, but wasn't going to let me get away with it after asking me where I got the Totes from ('they've all gone', oh no they haven't - must have wanted them herself...).

Still, with the botanics at 99p and 100 bonus points that's two moisturisers and 1p change.;)

Also they had loads of the mp3 speakers and wind up radios. littledutchboy I've PM'd you if you are still after the mp3 speakers.

Okay, I am going to give up my secret now. If you dont have any vouchers left (PANIC PANIC!!!) and dont want to spend £5 to get one...how about buying them off Ebay? I have bought lots. It has worked out at about £1.20 per double voucher (1 x No7 + 1 x haircare). I just got 4 x £5 off No 7 vouchers for £2.55 on a Buy it Now, and that included postage.

In the blink of an eye, I had logged on and bought 5 vouchers for £2.49 - not quite sure how it happened :rotfl:

Thanx Anna x

i got the glossy locks hair stuff £5.50 , and it was bogof !!! used voucher and only paid 50p for two !!!!!

Tonight I got No.7 Hair Spritz, Lip shimmer (both suncare so BOGOF) and a pack of No.7 wipes on 324, so till deducted £5.50 twice, used a £5 voucher paid £1!!:T :T

SA was lovely so I did this twice, thought I might not find such a good SA again.

Thanks to OP for this - bought wipes twice last week and still paid £1 each time.

Hi Anna, I had 7 vouchers originally, from buying all the sale stuff on monday but I spent them on the n07 gift bags and Lee stafford shampoo.

I wanted to try the glitches with the 342 and bogof but had no vouchers left, thanks to your post, I spotted a set of 4 n07 + 4 Haircare for £4.99 on a buy it now!
