my previous post has been deleted - so I will just have to post again - great to see you guys back:)

has anyone had any luck with the 6 for 1 when purchasing anything other than sun stuff - could you do 5 sun care and 1 other?

Yes, I think people have tried this (eg bliss who posted above you) and it doesn't work. If you want 641 you have to get 6 suncare items.

Just back from lunch time at Boots!

Staines has lots of haircare products reduced, and I got the last Frizz Ease conditioner reduced to 2.20 free with my hair care voucher. I also got the last Botanics body bar, grabbed a H&B magazine and a moisturiser. So I paid 99p for the whole transaction.

I also found lots of no7 suncare. I didn't want to get six of them so I got 2 facial suncreams @9.50 plus no7 shimmer dust reduced to 6.50 (this didn't work on 342, but lovely SA overrode it manually when I queried it). I used a no7 £5 voucher and a 250 point voucher. Total cost = 4.50. Added on some crisps to bring transaction over £5 and got another voucher.

As I was leaving, I found a no7 voucher that someone had just left on the side, so I grabbed that as well.

Thank you Boots. Great shop today - I'll be back tomorrow to spend another voucher. :rotfl:

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??

Lol!! that was I and I sound like a total moaner but it was the principle of the fact (didnt say anything to the SA because its not her fault). Boots said to maximise the number of vouchers we would "be happy to make several transactions for you" (yeah right!!! - plus I couldn't do that to any poor unsuspecting SA's!!)

But a nice apology (finally) and 1000points winging their way on to my AC!

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's great :T

It's weird that they aren't half price in all Boots though - why do they do that??! how annoying!! :mad:
