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

Worked for me today in spite of no signs for 2for1 being up. Sorry you missed out - perhaps just because of misinformed staff

possible important note - there is no mention of 'excludes minatures' on the new £2.50 vouchers.

Today in Boots I found a 90% off section and I managed to get 3 Lambretta keyrings 10p each (3for 2 also) and 3 natural relaxation systems, which were reduced to £6 each (also 3 for 2).. I had no idea what it was but at that price I had to buy it

Rushed home and took 1 one of the box and WOW this is a little base unit which has a dented area which you sit a bubble filled crystal ball type thingy onto (mains or battery operated) and the ball changes colour there are 8 sound options from bird song to bubbling brook, also has a volume switch to allow it to have no sounds, light only, comes with aromatherapy beads too to allow fragrance to relax you too.. what a superb buy for £3!

Would make a wonderful Mother's day gift ( March 18th, I believe)
Loads and loads left, I think most people, like me, had no clue what they are :rotfl: :rotfl:

Thank You to tooting_jane For This Useful Post... 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!

Cheapest way to get the new No7 Jewellery wrap
Buy 2 x No7 £7.50 suncare items on BOGOF the till recognises the spend as being £15 and so will allow the bag as a free gift.
Use £5 No7 voucher and hey presto it costs just £2.50. This must be done by Friday if you are using the No7 voucher.

Off the top of my head, after Friday the cheapest way to get it will be…
4 x No7 suncare items priced @ £5.50 and on BOGOF so total spend will be £11

There will probably be other ways that will be figured out given time using voucher combinations etc. as there are a few extra points vouchers on the ACM now too.

Jewellery wrap contains vouchers for...
250 points when you buy any product from the Hydro Quench Skincare range
- Valid until 25/04/2007
£2 off when you spend £10 on any of the great brands in our Luxury Bathing range. Includes FCUK, Natural Collection, Ted Baker, Elle Macpherson, Essential Aromatherapy, Botanics, Sanctuary, Soap&Glory, Mediterannean colection & Naked. Valid until 31/03/2007.
May be able to be combined with vouchers in the pink change one thing booklets which are 200 points when you spend £10 on Naked, Essential Aromatherapy and Sanctuary (and possibly Botanics aromatherapy?) Valid until 28/02/2007
There are also points vouchers for Sanctuary in the ACM

No7 lipstick bags & the burgundy/gold bags have points vouchers in but unfortunately they are expired after today so there’s no point buying these just for the vouchers.

Yardley Freebies - Thanks to cabra1 for letting us know about this Yardley freebie offer. This offer is still available - Confirmed by cdodd today - thanks cdodd!http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showpost.html?p=4043662&postcount=844
Theres more info (again from cabra1) relating to the Yardley offer here
http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showpost.html?p=4051110&postcount=920

Smile! – 100 points when you buy 3 items from the range.
You get the voucher from the ACM.
This works with the 59p tubes of toothpaste. So buy 3 toothpastes @ 59p each on 342 = £1.18 + and 100 points.
ALSO 3 x 2in 1 toothpaste gels @ 49p each on 342. So 98p spent and 00 points back
Thank You to ells2123 & mrsw For This Useful Post

100 points Botanics voucher (in the Jan/Feb mag)
Use with new £2.50 skincare vouchers (works for mens and womens products)!!

100 points on Boots Cold & cough items (in the Jan/Feb Mag)
There are still items priced at less than £1, effectively making them free.

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!!!

Hope you got your free gift bags too!!

Thanks for all the info on these threads everyone

I bought the Time Resisiting Day & Night Eye Care for £16.50 and got the free gift. I also got Mediterranean Melon Body Scrub for 83p, Mediterranean Wheatgerm Almond Milk Body Wash for 66p & razors for 65p all in the clearance section. I used my £5 off No7 voucher and I'd been sent a £2 Boots voucher for a survey I did so used that aswell. Grand total was £11.64 after vouchers.

I got given the skincare vouchers so I used the £2.50 ladies one to buy Time Delay facial wipes. They are £3.99 so I only had to pay £1.49.

The Mediterranean stuff had price labels showing £1 and £1.25 so I was pleased to get them even cheaper at the till! They'd also had some Time To Spa and Botanics stuff at around the same price. This was the Alloa store.

some of the 250 point vouchers in these bags had an expiry of november and some jan, i had one set that ended in nov, so it might be worth checking the dates as this might be why is not being added

I never thought to check as all the others I had were end of Jan. The two remaining vitamin ones are 31/1 so I assume they were the same?? Oh well Not to grumble - Boots have been more than nice to me:T
Suppose I had better get to boots then and use the rest up!!

Once again a quick trip to Boots... picked up:

3 x Smile Toothpaste (65p each, 3for2), + 100pts ACM voucher
1 x 99p cold & flu tablets (reduced from £1.99), + 100pts Boots mag voucher
1 x Botanics leave in hair conditioner (£2.99... i luuuurve the smell). + 100pts Boots mag voucher
1 x Bionsen crystal deoderant stuff (£3.99), + £1 off Boots mag voucher
1 x Burgundy No7 bag (£6.50.. because it's cute, the contents is good, AND i wanted the points vouchers within!)

Also had a double points coupon thing the OH had given me.
Spent £14.77, got 369 points.

Went back, got:

2 x No7 aftersun balm (£7.50 each, BOGOF), + 250 point voucher (from No7 burgundy bag)
1 x No7 wrap bag (free!)
1 x Boots multivitamins (£1.69), + £1 off vitamins voucher from 'change one thing' book, + 300 points voucher (from No7 burgundy bag, that might be other way round with vitamins one... i forget )

Anyway, total spent £8.19 with 580 points :j

Wooo!!!

I tried to do this today and the SA said I couldnt get a free bag as I hadn't spent enough in "actual cash" (as in the voucher wasn't cash!) so I just bought the 2 No7 products and never got a free bag. I was quite disappointed as I really thought I was right and she was wrong, but I am new to Bootsing and didn't want to make a fuss. Advice please?
