    Well is he right ?
    When I first used my advantage card a few weeks ago, I found that I had an offer for a free mini haircare product. Ok, I'm just about bald, so I was a bit peeved that it wasn't particularly useful - and then I noticed that it specifically excluded the men's ranges anyway.
  • Just had £20 worth of £2.50 skincare vouchers arrive from Ebay :j But I'm busy all day tomorrow......aaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhh :eek:

    The peel was still labelled at £16.00 in my Boots today - picked one up with a wrap and a few other items, but the SA saw it scanned at £8.00 and said I had to spend £15 to get the freebie. I said I'd leave it as I didn't have time to go and find more stuff today.

    As all Bootsers know... tomorrow is another day.

    Incidentally, I only went into Boots because I bought 3 identical Sanctuary bags at the weekend and one of them scanned at £15 instead of £6.75!!:eek: :eek: Thought I'd spent quite a lot but didn't make a fuss at the time as I'd managed to get a peel & a wrap ;) past the SA! For some reason, one had the barcode for the higher price, although each had a price tag of £6.75 on the front! So DO watch these, as the SA said she'd seen it before on those particular Sanctuary items. BTW I can't tell you exactly what items they are as they are still lurking in the boot of my car and DH doesn't know they are there LOL

    Clarins have a 600pts offer for the purchase of 2 or more make-up products with a complimentary consultation until 4th March. I recieved this offer via a post card but it should be open to all.
