Boots Grabbit Bargains Thread part 5 - post your finds here

pollyskettle

The Boots here is very small, but I did manage a really good shop today:

No 7 Time Resisting Night Cream £15.50
No 7 Wrap (free gift)
Boots single use camera with flash x2 (BOGOF) £5.99 each
Indulging Therapy Shower Gel £0.99 reduced from £1.69

Used £16.00 parenting voucher, £5.99 camera voucher and spent a grand total of £0.99!

No ACM here though, may have to go into Weston to see which vouchers I can get there, no pink COT booklets either - must be another MSE'er here as there are loads of the other booklets!

Another update for the men.....

Loreal Men Xpert Shaving Foam - £2.79. Very similar to the nivea stuff, possibly nicer. same size as nivea, and make sure u get the foam, NOT the gel!

Real Shaving Moisture Shave Cream gets the thumbs up from me (about £4 IIRC).

Contains none of that nasty Sodium Laureth Sulphate and not too many chemicals. Good dollop of cocoa butter too!

Nivea Moisturising (not tried yet) is also SLS-free and ingredients don't appear too harsh.

L'Oreal - haven't given the ingredients a lookover, but do know that their moisturisers contain a shedload of chemicals, so I've always avoided them.

Does anyone else find though that they accrue loads of points but never spend them cos they're too busy adding on more points with every transaction?

Very simple solution:-

Return the goods for a cash refund and immediately re-buy them with your points.

all boots stores near me has ran out of the botanics lip balm. shame, i love that lip balm.

Is the lip balm suitable for the boys?

Ie - does it have a matte or gloss appearance when applied?

it has a gloss, so probaly wont be suitable.

I would say it is suitable for guys as it sinks in quickly and doesn't look glossy even when it's just been applied.

Seems me and lindsey x disagree on what looks glossy! You could always see if they have a tester to try?
