  • Where do you get the 300 points on vitamins vouchers from Ladies, i have the one pound off from the change one thing booklet, but would ideally like to get 300 points instead...running low on our vitamins so could do with a couple!

    from the burgundy bag which costs £6.50 in most stores and for some lucky peeps has gone down to £3.25!! ;)

    Part of the Furniture 1,000 Posts Combo Breaker
    The No7 lady still has the sign up saying reduced items not 3 4 2 and you cannot redeem 5.00 voucher against these. But, I noticed she was busy chatting and thought I'd give it a try. I filled up my basket with the last 6 x deep cleansing masks reduced to 3.75 and 6 x nail polish reduced to 3.00.

    My favourite SA was in today, so I knew it was my lucky day:D

    First I bought: 3x masks @3.75 and frizz ease styling cream @3.79 handed over 5.00 and 3.00 vouchers and the total came to -52p. SA was going to ask another member of staff why this had happened, so I grabbed a bar of chocolate to take the total to 3p to pay:confused: I vaguely remember someone on here mentioning this had happened to her when buying the reduced masks.

    I put 3x nail polish through in 2 seperate transactions. Each time redeeming a 5.00 voucher and only paying 1.00 for the 3.

    Lastly, I put 3x masks through without anything else. If I'd bought something else at the same time I could've had money knocked off that item...I wasn't using my brain at the time:D The redeemed 5.00 voucher appears on my reciept as a 3.75 saving, not 5.00.

    I don't think many stores have vouchers left. My store ran out 2 days ago and they have taken down the signs. It was good while it lasted:D I've had great fun using these vouchers.

    I had to laugh during the last transaction, the SA said she wasn't sure if she could except my 5.00 voucher as payment against sale stock. Hello?? I'd already paid with the 5.00 vouchers during the previous transactions and she hadn't said a thing about the vouchers not working with sale stuff. She then scanned the voucher and seemed surprised the till accepted it:rotfl:

    On my fabulous bootsing today (see earlier post) i had the lovliest SA ever at newcastle-under-lyme. To disguise my 6 for 0 with the suncare bags using the parenting voucher i brought loads of other stuff at the same time.
    Everything in my basket i had a voucher for- discount or points.

    newborn huggies
    free changing bag box (free with coupon when buy nappies)
    avent steriliser (1000 points coupon)
    frizz ease shampoo (£3 haircare voucher)
    avent welcome pack (free with voucher)
    cold & flu capsules (100 points)
    Botanics wash mit (100 points)
    free botanics moisturiser
    plus other bits......

    needless to say the sa asked me when i was due? 'august' i mumbled. She said how lovely, was it my first, was i excited, what names etc etc. She asked if i knew if it was a boy or a girl and i said i didn't know yet as i was only 18 weeks and you dont find out until the 20 week scan. After the transaction she insisted on carrying all my bags back to my car- after she had told her superviser where she was going.

    I felt terrible.....and i'm sure the dates i made up dont work out right??

    In the style of Alcoholics Anonymous, own up time:

    I ended up with 50 Lilac Bags along with suncare galore, and many of the No7gift sets.

    I sold most of them on eBay to raise funds for a women's group I'm involved in (Dave is a ginger cat, not me!) and gave a couple of hundred packs of Bodyform to a local battered women's shelter. A few of my friends ended up with super hampers for their birthdays also.

    It became a bit of a compulsion, and in a strange way I was pleased they ended it, as I I was going to 2 different branches a day at one point and more than one till.

    The men in white coats are coming to take me away.

    Dave


    :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: Have they not taken you away yet??:rotfl: :rotfl:

    Thanks ,you have made me spill my drink and choak on it:rotfl: It even came out my nose:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:
