  • What are you all going to do with your haul? Mine is a mini-haul so I'm going to make up pamper hampers for birthday presents, use some of it, give some to a womens refuge and the rest I'll put on a car boot sale in the Spring.

    My Tesco shampoo/shower gel/hand wash haul is quite large too. Hardly any room left in my airing cupboard for towels and sheets :D
    Cos I don't shine if you don't shine.

  • Thanks for the useful info re. possible gift vouchers in clearance gift sets. Would it be possible for people who've already opened their sets to let everyone know which set / which voucher inside (or none) / voucher expiry date? Perhaps a list can eventually be added to the first post. If a few kind people share the details, it should mean that everyone else doesn't have to tear open other people's presents etc.

    By-the-way, i'm soooo impressed by the 'Boots Haul' photos. Keep 'em coming! :D

    I have decided to take the wise/foolish [delete as appropriate] step of not taking my final £5 voucher to work with me. I do not need £7.50 suncare, I probably will hardly use the eye pallate (even tho its gorge) and the same for the free wrap....so i am effectvely saving myself £11.50.....

    but ive still got a voucher!!! :( but its one step towards my Bootsing Therapy!!

    You could always use it on a Ruby & Millie eyeshadow brush or similar for £5 and have nothing to pay... ;)
    If I hadn't seen such riches, I could live with being poor...

    It is much easier to see other people's failings than our own.

    Big thank you to all for information on glitches and dates for sale goods.

    I now have enough points to get digital camera for DS's birthday. According to my reciepts I have saved over £830 for a spend of £200 and received more than £60 in points.
    A lot of the big savings were on xmas presents in the 75% and 90% sale.

    Unable to photograph as xmas gifts are in the attic.

    I have already started to give away some of the botanics and No 7 suncare, I think we all got carried away - I know I will never get to use all the moistuisers and suncare before it goes off.

    Looking forward to a week or two away from Boots. I notice some of you mentioning Tesco hauls, what is the deal with these please.

    Earlier this week someone mentioned that an SA in her Boots said there was more sale stock arriving on Friday.

    Does anyone remember/know which branch?
