    Well, i thought i was finished with boots.......but no, my lunch friend at work was on holiday today, so i went to boots for a meal deal for lunch, to stop me sitting at my desk on the internet like a sado (and anyways, i can surf the net during work hours!!) when i was there i spotted some totes scarves (sp?) and some sequin belts, from earlier posts i knew these were reduced, took them to check and they were 90% off, so i had to get them, 2 x scarves & 2 x belts. (There are a couple of belts & gloves left - Glasgow Fort) - Christmas stuff is 90% off!!!
    This puts my items over £5 and i get a voucher, when im leaving the tills i spot some christmas stuff, not much, but enough to get me to buy some, £5 worth and got another voucher then also £12 worth in points.
    Just couldnt spend the vouchers as my bags were too heavy to carry more!!
    So now i have the two vouchers in my purse, ill need to go out tomorrow to spend them! The boots vicious voucher circle has started all over again!!! AARRRGGGHHH

    But anyways - thanks to all for your tips! Loving getting skint in boots!

    Hello,
    I'm newbie, so please be nice to me :A
    I'm Boots parenting club member, and got £16 OFF No7voucher. If i got it right, that would deduct 24,50£ suncare kit? I want to buy 2x24,50 suncare kits (BOGOF), and 2x5,50 suncare items, that would make the till think that I'm spending 60£ and would let me have 4 wraps? Am I right? And would £5OFF No7 voucher work together with this offer? Or maybe it will deduct 5£ OFF more expensive item? Im totally confused :eek: please help if someone already tried it!
    Thanks in advance :j

    Not sure if you would get 4 wraps in the 1 transaction.
  • Hi Everyone,

    Just got back from Westwood Cross (kent) with bags full of goodies:j
    I plucked up the courage to try the Bogof No.7 suncare with the free bag, Bought 2 x Facial Aftersun Balm for £7.50, Also did the 342 Smile with 100 xtra points(so free) & Lee Strafford shampoo presented the £5 & £3 ...........Hooray:j all went through fine & SA said what a bargin! Sooooooooo just had to go back & do it all again! This time with No.7 Factor 15 face protector x 2 Bogof £8.50 plus Free bag of course, another Lee Strafford shampoo, again another SA said Well done!
    THen bought the No.7 Glyco peel kit marked from £16 to £8, used £5 voucher making it £3 also picked up 3 x Xmas wrap marked down 29p & 3 packs of matching tags marked down to 9p each!
    All in all a good day Bootsing..........Now have two new vouchers to spend!
    Fast running out of space to put it all!.........must go, have just got to hide it all before O.H comes home:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

    Well, I thought I had a lot of stuff, but compared to some others who bravely posted pics of their hauls last night, it's not that impressive. Still, this was my very first Bootsing month, so I think I did quite well!

  • So what's the best way to spend £15 at No.7 to get the free wrap?

    If say I bought 2x £7.50 sun care items then used my £5 No.7 voucher would I qualify for a free wrap as technically I would only have 'spent' £2.50? Sorry to be a pain but I am getting confused (it doesn't take much!)

    It really does depend on which SA you get!! Today I got 2 x Facial Balms @ £7.50 each, but BOGOF, plus free wrap and used the £5 off voucher - total to pay £2.50. SA (male:T ) didn't turn a hair. However, a woman at the next till was trying exactly the same thing and didn't even get as far as trying to use the voucher. Jobsworth SA said she had to actually pay at least £15 to get the wrap and she was only paying £7.50 due to the BOGOF. She refused to even try putting the wrap through. Think she would have had apoplexy if the £5 off voucher had been mentioned!! It does seem very unfair...you just have to choose your SA very carefully if you can.

    What a buzz when it works...though when I get outside the shop I am a nervous wreck!!
    Learn the rules so you know how to break them properly!
  • I thought I'd start the ball rolling with the gift pack / voucher info...My No.7 Ultimate Accessories pack (contains diamante key ring, mini mirror, mini purse and diamond shimmer pot; RRP £10) doesn't have any vouchers in it.

    just been and could not find the face serum - the NO 7 woman didn't know about any BOGOF on these either.

    is this all sun stuff or skin stuff?

    and my AdCar machine only gave me prize draw offers, nothing else :(

    Ah your pictures are all so good.:T :T Well done:T :T

    I had a good run last night. Managed to spend about £7 got loads of stuff and £12 back on my card!!!:T All those lovely vitamin vouchers gone but still got a few no7. So may see if the have any makeup brushes.

    Anyone know if there is such a thing as a foundation brush???

    Got a botanics lip balm yesterday - went to use it when I got home and some kind person has only had their grubby finger in it:eek: So check before you get!!!

    Still lots of reduced botanics which work with new vouchers.
