Boots Grabbit Bargains Thread part 5 - post your finds here

I used my last 2 £5 vouchers to take the eye palettes down to £5.50. I think they're fab - like all the limited editions they disappear really quickly.

They're showing as 'more stock coming soon' online. Don't want to tempt anyone into spending more, but the free gift comes with online purchase, and if you spend £35 (I know...that's ridiculous) you get 500 extra points.

Re: the new £2.50 off skincare voucher

What's the minimum spend required to get the voucher?

minimum spend is £5 across the store

I totally agree with you Ragtime. I have spent so much since the last glitch (usually to try and disguise my savings!) I also have a parenting voucher to spend but might hold off and see what a new offer in a while brings up.
I have bags of stuff everywhere and will no doubt end up giving it all away free to friends and family.

well i went to boots today to try the BOGOF suncream to get my free bag and there was no signs on the suncream saying BOGOF so i asked the no7 lady and she said no its finished grrrrr
so i ended up getting 2 peel masks £8 each free bag no 7 voucher leaving me £11 to pay

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!!

I will try that one on my way home tonight and report back. Got both vouchers.

you cant use the £5 vouchers online can you?

Could someone please tell me if I can use acm vouchers in different stores my local doesn't have a acm and how long do they last or is it just date on vouchers? Thanks in advance to everyone who finds these brilliant offers.

Just been to leeds city centre boots (yes i did skive off work for an hour!)

Got £10.50 eye pallet + £6 nail varnish + free bag - £5 voucher + 200 points = £9.50 for the lot. I really wanted the eye pallet and so am pretty chuffed with that! Got 2 x new £2.50 vouchers too. And the 3xtoothpaste for 18p.

Was going to go back for the £7.50 BOGOF facial after sun and another free bag but couldnt be bothered (i think i have enough suncare stuff already!)

Going to call at smaller boots on my way home. Will use my umberto 100pts voucher if they have some stock (didnt earlier but kept voucher form ac machine incase they do tonight). Have £3 hair care to use too. Will try the Botanics wipes £2.50 voucher + 100points = 'better than free' theory. MAYBE will get the aftersun and free bag (mother day pressie?) or maybe will use my last £5 No7/JemmaKidd/R&M to get a free makeup brush or something.

Anything else to add to my list??

I am actually going to calm down a bit with my Boots buying as I realised while putting todays shopping away( or rather forcing it into an already full drawer lol ), how much stuff do you really need or can use before it goes off?

For instance, last year with the great Everyday Indulgence glitch, I had a look in my Boots cupboard and I still have 8 bottles of handwash/bodywash!

I also still have two full bottles of Toni and Guy shampoo (the enormous bottles) that were on a glitch of 2 for £7 last year.

Along with about 15 bottles of suncare and at least 10 tubs/bottles of moisturisers, I think I have enough to last me for a long time.

It is so easy to get carried away with getting a bargain but we all have to remember thats its only a bargain if we actually need it, it is a moneysaving site after all!

Note to self, stop spending money in Boots.....

My extra bits are going to the car boot sale box!!! With 3 kids we always have enough stuff for one of these in the summer - probably have to do a few this year!!!

Has anyone had probs getting the free gift with getting the suncream on BOGOF?? Have the sales assistants been funny about it cos you are really only spending £7.50 (minus the £5 voucher) ??

Yes! I had problems today. I was buying two £7.50 pre-tanning balms (or something like that) and the assistant said I couldn't have the wrap because I had only spent £7.50 (as the BOGOF had kicked in). I said could she scan it anyway and she sort of waved the scanner at it and said "no, sorry!". I of course left it.

I wonder if this was because it was at the No 7 counter?

I can't complain too much though, because I later did two transactions of 2 No 7 facial aftersun (£7.50 each), BOGOF, so then down to £7.50 for the two, then gave my 250 No 7 points voucher followed by £5 off No 7 voucher.

So £2.50 spend for 260 points, 2 tubs of facial aftersun and the new wrap! Effectively paying me 10p to take that lot away - TWICE! :j

Both these transactions took place at the photographic counter!!!
