  • Forgot to mention got my latest boots.com order today - was itching to go out to BOOTS to use the last of my vouchers but had to wait in for the latest BOOTS delivery - you know that you are a BOOTS addict when this happens :)

    If anyone still wants to do the £8 peel + free wrap it will still work no doubt but my advice would be:

    BUY SOMETHING ELSE WITH IT so it is not too obvious
    DO NOT BUY IT AT THE NO 7 COUNTER
    THE PRICE TICKET ON THE NO 7 COUNTER IS STILL £16 but it is on offer for £8 nationwide

    When in Boots today saw a new Baby magazine - not out of the cellophane wrapping yet so not yet on counters - anyone seen any of these ?

    hi if you buy the peel for 8.00 and then the wrap will be for free, these are a bargain at half price and you get the extra gift for free as the till still recognises the full price at 16.00 so the gift swipes for free

    i think its the cheapest way

    So is that the cheapest way then? It's just that I read before that people don't really think the peel is worth £8. Any other ways?

    cant think of any as 3 for 2, 5.00 voucher have both now finished

    only other way i guess is to try and buy a parenting voucher worth 16.00 off ebay but i dont know how much these end up as

  • The peel + wrap is DEFINATELY worth £8 of anyone's money (peel on its own not worth £16 and pricey at £8) but with the free gift it is a "no brainer".....think of it as £4 an item - YES you would buy the peel kit.....YES you would buy the wrap....plus you will get a £2.50+£2.50 voucher and you can get a 75 points on £10 spend from the ATM machine if you spend another £2 (highly recommended to "hide" the wrap glitch)

    The other "glitch" to get the wrap is also a "no brainer" - TWO No 7 sun items (£7.50 or above on Buy One Get One Free) plus a wrap for total outlay of £7.50 - again bump it up over £10 to "hide" the glitch and get a 75 points ATM coupon + qualify for a new £2.50+£2.50 voucher !

    If a SA refuses you for not "really" spending £15 , just politely decline doing the transaction and try again with another SA. It works for both as I have now done both but as I say I always buy a few other items and always avoid the No 7 counter.

    The only other cheapest way is too buy 2 products from the suncare no.7 the cheapest is £7.50 face serum .The suncare is one buy 1 get one free ( not advertised ).The cheapest price would need to be £7.50 for the till to register 2 x £7.50 =£15 plus wrap but you pay £7.50.
    However the peel was given very good ratings on This morning ( were they compared it to the saloon treatment at £60 ! ) as the peel was £16 and in my opinion a good buy ( it is meant to make a great differance to your skin and has 8 uses in it ).
    If you are going on holiday then maybe look at the no7 suncare instead as anything over £7.50 will be on bog off and get you the warp.( i think the body firming cream is £7.50 too ).All the suncare products are in yellow or beige boxes/ packaging.

    Slightly off topic i guess but i quite fancy the peel (to get the wrap mainly) but can it be used when you are pregnant?? I dont have sensitive skin but did have a reaction (non pregnant) to the No7 Pre Holiday Face Serum.

    Just wasnt sure with it being 'acid'.
    Thanks.

    Found a little Boots tucked away on The Wirral today. Must be no msers in the area as there was plenty of 90% christmas stock. Was like a kid in a candy shop! :D Strangely, loads of reduced Botanics too, so managed to get rid of a few 100pt vouchers too.!

    *look into my eyes look in to my eyes* Tell me of this Boots you have seeked out young Liver Bird! I though that I WAS THE ONLY MSEr in plastic scouse land!!!!!!!!
