we get the metro in bristol on buses and trains. but i cycle everywhere so i dont often get a chance to look through it it has had coupons this year for burger king mcdonalds tesco and various grocery coupons. worth checking if u can. i did not get one today. I was supposed to be in town on a mission to get material for a childs vulture costume...dont ask! but found my feet heading towards bootiful boots....Saturday is def the best day to go all the saturday staff are kids and they dont give a dam what goes through the till. I got a refund on my nappies that i bought last week just to get the free changing bag with coupon. The navy blue bag is really large and now is my mobile boots bargin holder so i can carry all my goodies around to friends houses. Forget the avon lady here comes the boots tart.:T

The EA stuff I bought were with all the minatures next to the bubble bath/shower gels at the back of the store. Be aware the 100 points voucher may not scan. Check your receipt straight away and ask for the points to be added on manualy. There are no terms and conditions with this one so the SA cannot tell you that you can't earn extra points because you are buying mini products. The SA who added on my points said" this is not right. They (Boots) cannot give you stuff for free" she wasn't happy that I was paying 1.00 for each item and earning an extra 100points for each item - making them free. Boots give us all these offers, we didn't ask for them. Although I - like everyone else - am quite happy to take advantage of them:D

Sa do vary so much -the other day I bought a botanics beauty balm reduced to 50p (it's lovely anyway!) and got 100 points paying in the babysection. 'Good value said the lady!' So fool I was I went downstairs to the normal checkout to buy the other one and the SA said 'O'h no you can't use the voucher against reduced stuff.' This is not on the voucher but huge queue so didn't argue.
So try to go to staff who are in quieter areas eg baby/photo

I know it's slightly off thread but if you're not getting points voucher from acm for toothpaste, go to Tesco, pick up some quit smoking packs, use vouchers and you'll get toothpaste and the like free.

Yes, I have some quit packs but I cant work out the deal which is as good as the Smile one at Boots. Mind you my lads have a toothpaste obsession so buying £10 of Colgate and just seeing how many 40p Colgates and 1.25/2.50s I can get away with is a lot better than no toothpaste at all. I dont suppose toothpaste counts as a beauty product just beauty. Mind you if I did half tresemme and half colgate I might get more accepted!
