If you have a points coupon from the Gift bags you must give it to the SA before any other coupons/vouchers are taken off as i fell foul of this last week but i got the points added on later as SA realised points didn't go on automayically. Last day today form the 250 points on NO7 coupons and 300 points on Vitamins.

I went to Cortonwood today and got my lovely N07 wrap.

I was a bit cheeky as I took 4 of the lip shimmers back as I realised there is no way I will use them all, I wanted to swap them for some of the tanning kits in the plastic bag at £6.00.

Sa was lovely and scanned them all in for me along with 1 tanning kit, an eyeshadow pallette, vitamins and cold/flu tablets plus the fabulous free N07 wrap.

Total came to £19 odd and she actually owed me £2 something!

200 points voucher in the acm for the eyeshadow pallette by the way if you are planning on buying it.

I also tried the Time Delay facial kit with the £5 off voucher and 1 of the £2.50 skincare vouchers but it ran out yesterday (30th) so wouldn't scan

All in all a profitable day!


By the way, check your vouchers in the burgundy bag as I am sure mine expired today ( can't check as I have used them all)

How much are the eye kits? Will I qualify for a free wrap if I buy it (I still have one £5 voucher left)

Has anybody got one of the £2.50 vouchers yet and used it with a 100 points voucher to get Botanics wipes for free (sort of)

My thinking is

Botanics wipes £2.99
- £2.50 voucher = 49p
then use 100 points voucher so Boots 'pay' me 51p to take them away?

Can anyone confirm if this will work - I love the glitches you guys come up with and I also love these wipes!!

It should work since I got the botanics lip balm for free using the £2.50 voucher plus I handed over the 100 points coupon from the magazine so boots paid me £1 to take it away!

Hi Jamtart,
The eye pallette (gorgeous by the way!) is £10.50 and theres a 200 point coupon in the acm for it.

I added a £6 tanning kit onto it to get it above £15 ( this may or may not be on a bogof but didn't want to risk it)

You can take anything back to any till as far as I know, I avoid the obviously busy tills and also the non smiling sa's!

The lady I went back to today has served me a few times so I was quite comfortable taking things back to her

Same question please as someone higher up the thread has asked - when does the BOGOF end on suncare ? (not sure am brave enough to go in today) Presume its somewhere with No 7 stuff and not in general run of suncare? Its just I havent seen it in Chelmsford Boots. I gather from another post that the wraps are just there for you to pick up and take to the till? Or in some stores have you got to run the gauntlet of the no 7 ladies??

Bogof on Suncare ends in March as far as I know.

The wraps are placed on stands around the store so you can pick one up and choose where you want to pay for it

I thought about getting the eye pallate for a present (or for me!) but it would work out cheaper to get the suncare stuff - but will i really use it? Id rather spend it on stuff I'll use!

Do no.7 do wipes ? if so how much?

So it'd be

£10.50 + £6.00 =16.50
-£5.00 voucher
= £11.50
- 200 points

=£9.50....... hmm do I want it all that much???

This is my first post - I just had to thank everyone for all the tips for bargain hunting in Boots. I now have bags of suncare, botanics and haircare all over the house My latest aquisition is the lovely No. 7 gift which came into the stores this morning - did the BOGOF on the £7.50 suncare, used a £5 voucher so got it for £2.50, I am delighted:rotfl:

Have been loading my advantage card with points, its a temporary one - can anyone tell my how long it takes for the plastic one to arrive as I am dying to use the instore machine?
