Just got in from an exam...followed by a Boots trip! Hope I'm still allowed to post this as I've seen various comments about chat being allowed / not allowed, but here goes:

In the smaller Boots store in my town, I couldn't see any no7 suncare with either the no7 items or the suncare display, so asked an SA if they were going to get any in stock (they'd sold out of the cheap bits in the big store!). She took me straight to a stand hidden away with some clearance items on, and lo and behold there were the body buffers, firm your body, sunscreens all at half price! I wondered whether the 641 would still work, so grabbed the only 2 firm your body lotions (now £4.25 down from £8.50) plus 4 body buffers (now £2.75 down from £5.50) and took them to the till.....all went through perfectly leaving £4.25 to pay, at which point i produced my £5 voucher which also went through. The SA said, sorry I can't give you the 75p change - like I cared!! I got £40 worth of stuff for nothing! Best Bootsing ever. Now I've got to go back and get £5 worth of Botanics so I can get another set of vouchers and clear the shelves of the suncreams, which should then only cost me 75p for 6! :j :j

Wow! That was brilliant, good for you.:j

Transaction 3


No7 Sun Protection Glossy Locks Hair Spritz (Bogof)2@£5.50

use 2nd £5 voucher

Get another £3/5 voucher?

Cost 50p & 28 points?

Cost 50p?

is this right and ok.I have no other vouchers or have been to the AC machine.




You could get 6 No7 suncare items all at £5.50 & then use £5 voucher & still pay 50p

Yes - but by doing it in two transactions, it costs only 50p more and produces a further £3 hair voucher as well as the £5 voucher to pay for the second transaction - if you see what I mean!

can some bright spark please re write this in english for me.. including some no7 offer for transaction 2

ok, jus got back form town, after a wee bit of bootsing! ANyway the 6for 1 thing didnt work for me, think i'd done it wrong. Doesnt matter. Got a botanics thing with 100 points. And just realised i forgot free moisturiser! oh no. I'll take it back i think.
Anyway what i wanted to post was that with the £3 haircare vouchers, i bought 2x trevor sorbie freshen and shine spray its called, for 99p with voucher. But had been on advantage machine and got 150 point voucher for trev sorbie hair care style produucts (ex shampoo +cond) so basically, paid 99p and got £1.50 back in points.
Also has 150 points for tony&guy shampoo, detox it shampoo for £4.99, but with 150 points you're basically paying 50p. And i love tony&guy shampoo. Well worth it!!

Oh and to the person who complained about not receiving lots of no7 vouchers when spending about £60 (or something) i've forgotten, but basically they didnt get as many vouchers as they would have one if they had split the transactions. Did anything happen? As im thinking of complainin myself. As when buying sale items i had £40 odd worth of stuff and asked him to stop aftera fiver or so so i can pay (as the SA had done about half an hour earlier for me) but he didnt, and just carried on going. Therefore i didnt get as many vouchers as i should have done. Is this worth complaining about??

jan1ey

how come it didnt work for you? im going now and dont wanna buy anything that wont work.. lol....

I dont think i had understood the concept right. i bought 3 hair spriz, 2 face suncreams and a pack of facewipes. ended up comin to 20 quid before voucher. I hadnt read it properly, and forgotten what to buy. Go for it, just make sure you know what to buy lol. you can always "forget your credit card", i certainly did!
