If the suncream is still BOGOF could you get one for £7.50 get one free as the computer thinks your spending £15
I remember doing this with the lilac bags as the suncream was BOGOF i picked up 2 bottles of suncream BOGOF 1 bottle was £7.50 and i picked up a lilac bag and it all went through that was one of the reasons a lot of people had so many lilac bags
Does anybody know if it will work with this as someone said the BOGOF suncream is until march

will give it a go 2morrow and let you know.

Great minds think alike loopy, I posted this last night but the cost will only be £2.50 if you still have a no7 voucher to use. So thats £2.50 for 2 x suncare £7.50 items and the free gift. Can't wait to try it out.

Hi everyone

As a few of you already know I have been wanting to do 6 for 1 all month but been too chicken!!!:rotfl:
Today, I took the plunge.
I took my daughter along for moral support (but she just went red!).
I picked up my 6 items and headed off to find a gullible/friendly SA but the tills at Leeds are the ones where it's pot luck who you get. I ended up with this lovely lady who looked at all my no7 stuff and said 'Have you got a voucher?' I didn't as they had run out round our way, so she said she would put my Botanics and 90% stuff through first (quite a lot) and give me the voucher. She very kindly did this then started trying to persuade me to put my suncare through in 2 lots of 3, I said 'No' very politely and said 'Just try them altogether and tell me what they come to'. She looked at me as if I were mad and then tried again to persuade me. I was very insistant then and said 'Please!!!'. When she started checking them through her face was an absolute picture. 'It says your total is now £7.50 and you have saved £57. isn't that good!?' At this point my daughter was puce!!!:rotfl: Needless to say I just wanted to grab my bag and go. She then handed me another voucher and said 'Do you want some wipes, I can go and get them for you?' I couldn't get away quick enough so I declined and headed out the shop.
What a hilarious experience, one I shall never forget. I'm not going through it again even though it was such a good bargain. You lot must have huge muscles as it was such a lot to lug around the shops!!!
Thanks again for all your tips and giving me the courage to go for it!!!!:T

I told all my work mates about this today and they couldn't believe my bravery and I had them screaming laughing when I told them about the 'helpful' shop assistant!!! She must have thought I was bonkers not wanting to split my shopping!!!???:rotfl:

i rang boots CS first about the vouchers and the guy said i should've taken it up instore with the manager @ the time ( me rushing around like a blue arsed fly).he said he couldnt say why i'd been told i couldnt use the voucher.i rang my boots up but the manager's not there today-just the line manager who's a nazi.so the lass said she'd get the manager to ring me tomorrow and i can get an explanation why my vouchers were declined.i forgot to say in my earlier post that it wasnt just suncream i bought.i tried to use the voucher with 3 tubes of sauna masks but she wouldnt let me either-so just got 342 on those.i have a feeling that the manager's gonna wriggle outta this when i speak with her tomorrow

Spent the last of my Boots vouchers today. Got 2 Frizz Ease hairsprays with the 2 £3 haircare vouchers I had left, and 3 Vitamin C tubs which the very helpful SA wanted to put through together as they are on a 342. I said Noooooooooooo and made her put them thru seperately, each time handing over a 300pt voucher (from burgundy bag) and then a £1 off voucher (from green ChangeOneThing), leaving me to pay 75p times 3.

Florentine chocs for 50p are very nice , they did not last very long . Red jewellery boxes with fudge in still scan at full price, as did the Bratz jewellery doll for £24.99 :eek: . I'm sure I saw the same doll at Tesco's reduced to £7.98, but have a big enough stash of pressies at the mo :rotfl: .

Can't wait for the next round of Boots bargains!
