    If you're hoping for 90% off No.7 gift sets don't bother going to Castlepoint.

    When i was loitering innocently(!) by the No.7 desk last eve i saw the lip and eye palettes and a few other sets being sold at full original price.

    And these were "sold out" last week !!

    Julie, I really want to try the 641 on these big bags with my voucher. but im so scared to even try two!! What a woose eh. I feel like a shoplifter in boots as i am in so long, going back and forth along the aisles.
    I Can resist everything, except Temptation x:o
  • Has anyone successfully done the lipstick bags on 3 for 2? Do you think this will work if they're reduced to £3.25?

    Also, on my receipt where I got 6 suncare for £5.50 then used £5 voucher, I paid 50p and got another £5 voucher. It shows the new voucher on the receipt as Hcr/No7 Vc Uk Earn. Is this because my cashier scanned it or does the till automatically add this on? I just wondered where I stand if I get told that I've only spent 50p therefore don't qualify for another voucher!

    I managed the 641 on No7 suncare last night in Sheffield. I very nice SA saw me looking at the shelves and told me that if I bought 3 I would only have to pay for 1. She said head office had messed up and that, as we know, both the 342 and bogof would work. She said that there was nothing they could do to change it until Jan 30th so looks like the offer should work until then!

    They had taken down the bogof signs though, so they werent advertising the fact that the offer was on.

    Also got some reduced botanics mens shaving gel down to £1.37 x2 with free body sculpting cream. Bargain!

    Thank you so much to OPs for all the info and to everyone for their helpful posts!

    Was this Meadowhall or city centre? Was there much left of the £5.50? Thank you!

    Pop a couple of botanics in for good measure - don't worry, you will be fine. I know what you mean though, it's like going for a job interview the thought of going on a boots job.
  • Does the 641 work on the £12/16? and £24 bags? They both have a 'light brown' item in as well.

    I think it depends on the SA - I didn't get any in shrewsbury meole brace yesterday, should have had 3, I didn't want to ask, she seemed shocked enough about the bargains, and I thought I had more than I did left, the total is £5.50 though, which takes you over £5 so I think you should have another voucher, everywhere else seems to be giving them out, the Hcr/No7 Vc Uk Earn means they've scanned a voucher, but they've not given it to you :/

    thry9698, it wasnt Meadowhall or city centre! It was one on a small retail park on the A61 chesterfield road (I think!) next to a next clearance unit. sorry i cant be more specific, I dont know the area well. I am trying to use the store locator on the boots website but it is very slow!

    They had a lot of the body buffer, hair spray protector (sorry, i dont know the exact name) and also the lip shimmer. The shelf was basically full but they didnt have the £5.50 bag/kit or any of the burgandy No7 bags, not that i could see anyway.

    With the botanics they didnt have any of the 99p bath bars but they had the £1.50 waffle body polishers (sorry, i am terrible with remembering names for things!)

    Hope that helps.

    i havent gotten a voucher when i bought the suncare stuff and paid less than £5....i think it must just depend on where you are and if the stores feel like giving them out. :confused:
