Not a bad effort i don't think ....... especially for a bloke who stands out like a sore thumb in the No7 section :rotfl:

Thanks to everyone for their posts, tips and bargain hunting advice.

Not a bad effort at all!! Just avoid the No7 counter. The ladies working there like to stop you getting good deals so they can keep all the stuff to wear themselves. I swear a No7 SA I saw the other day was wearing an ENTIRE eye pallette on her face :rotfl: along with enough fake tan to make her look Tangoed!!

Lost my viginity- took my incorrect Soltan cream back and bought 2x energising No7 Facial Suncare :-) - assistant even commented on how nice the wrap was. Spent my 2.50 mens care voucher on some shave gel. So savings here we come..

Steered clear of N07 stand, and went to the pharmacy bit.

Got my wrap!! :-)

Thanks guys n gals!

And, once you have received a points offer from an Advantage machine, is it possible to get the same one again on a different day or in a different store?

I have had the same points offers many times out of the machine, from the same AND different stores

Well i have used my last two no.7 and haircare vouchers today.

Transaction 1: 2 x No.7 Conditioning Face serum and no.7 wrap - minus voucher cost £2.50. Lee Stafford poker straight shampoo minus voucher cost 99p.
Total £3.49
Total Saving £16.50

The SA knew exactly what i was doing and i went to the pharmacy counter!! she asked if i had vouchers, then when the total come up on the till she said Bargain!!! - she gave me my receipt with no vouchers i said do i get the new vouchers - she said no cos you didn't spend over £5. I didn't push my luck and walked away, to try again.

Transaction no.2
Burgundy bag, found them hiding on the back wall of the store!! with voucher cost £1.50 - Lee stafford poker straight conditioner with voucher cost 99p.
Total £2.49
Total save £8.00

Different SA and said the same as the other SA, no voucher as not spent over £5. Maybe i should have done the transaction together?

I spent £5.98 and got £24.50's worth woohoo i am chuffed, thanks to everyone that posts on this thread.

Thanks to the person (whoever it was - I'll have to trawl back through hundreds of posts to find out!) who found out about the glycolic peel/wrap glitch, managed to pick one up at lunchtime on second attempt - first time I had a huge basketful of stuff that I'd dumped at a til while I nipped to the ACM to get a voucher only to come back and find the SA had started scanning everything and of course had put the wrap through first. :eek: Just told her to leave it aside for the time being and I'd pick something else up from the No.7 counter after I'd paid for that lot.

My Boots had FINALLY reduced a load of toys and games to 75% so managed to get Cranium @ £6.24 from £24.99, Ein-O-Science kits @ £1.74 from £6.99, Simpsons Uno @ £2.24 from £8.99 and a few other bits and bobs.

Does anyone else get followed around by the security guard, or is it just me? :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

Made up a little gift set to give as a pressie to someone, Ted Baker bodywear stuff. Spend over £8 and got the free purple make up bag, so instead made it over £10 so used my £2 off voucher as well. quite chuffed with that, nothing grabbed me in the sanctuary range (:eek: @ prices!) but this is perfectly suited as a gift. Gonna get a nice box to pack it all in with tissue paper so it looks more plush :rotfl:

JUST DONE MY GOOD DEED FOR THE DAY at teesside park
saw a little old lady wandering around boots with her £5 voucher saying it seemed a shame to waste it but everything was so expensive, told her about the sun cream and wrap she was delightedand i had a lovely warm feeling inside:D

got 2 of the peel kits for £11 and a free wrap myself ( quite a few left at TP)
