    Staines had quite a few Botanics mens gift sets reduced to £1 from £10, and 80p from £8 at lunchtime today. No more burgundy bags left though.

    I left my stash of vouchers at home so couldn't do any Bootsing today.DH will be so proud when I tell him I have bought nothing from Boots today. :rotfl:

    Wow I got the wagamama juicer that was £18 for £1.80 today and kids bake sets for 50p, and loads of gold gift bags for 9p each were 99p. I'm going use the bags to make up gifts sets with all my number 7 stuff and botanics stuff and give them away as presents.

    Just back from Camberley, big signs up for 90% sale. Lots of breakfast sets (tray with bucks fizz and jam) and some coffee sets (cups and a perculator) both £1.50 now. Also xmas wrapping paper and cards. No botanic sets left in sale stock.

    Only a couple of burgundy bags left.
    No £3/£5vouchers left in store.

    Tried to find the alternative spot treatment that was mentioned in an earlier post - wanted to use 300 point voucher - could not find. Is this with the viatims or where should I look.

    I don't think I can cope with any more moisturiser - free or otherwise. :rotfl:

    No body bars. I doubt those Botanics sets will be there for long - get there quick if you want them.

    Armed with my £16 No7 Parenting voucher, I picked up 6 x £24.50 No7 Suncare bags. I took them to the pharmacy till, SA rang them all through. Total to pay was £24.50 as expected, handed over my voucher, and it only took £4.08 off of the total!!:eek:

    SA went to find manager who after doing some calculations, told me it was only taking that off as I had 6 products and it was doing some averages of some sort. Didn't really understand what she was talking about cos I wanted to make a quick exit!!

    Can anybody work out what went wrong?? TIA

    Sounds like it split the £24.50 discount over the 6 bags (6 x £4.08 = £24.48) because it didn't recognise that you were getting 5 of them free?
    Which is weird since the voucher is meant to be for one free item, and not a set amount off your spend on no.7.

    No But I would not complain still a whooper of a bargain!!!

    I got a couple of the burgandy bags and handed over my extra 250 points - seperate transactions naturally but when I checked receipt no extra points added on. Some you win some you loose.
