I took my mother in law to boots today to show her how to do the 6 for 1 she was amazed. we had a really nice sa who told us to use our vouchers on the reduced hair and no7 stuff.
my mil kept spotting more bargins ,buying them getting vouchers and then going back again .the sa thought it was hilarious that my mil was like a kiddy in a sweety shop!
thanks to all on her for your fab advice that has put me in my mils good books for a very long time.

For those in Edinburgh - the princes street branch upstairs had loads of reduced botanics (mostly the sugar scrub and moisturising scrub). They also still had loads of body waffle things. Downstairs at the no7 counter there were loads of glossy locks.

Thats me done with boots for the weekend - my boyfriend will hit the roof when I get home!!!

Hi Joanne, which masks were these please? I might look out for them.

I have been to the Ricoh Arena Boots today in Coventry and they have loads of the Glitter Babes stationery sets with a clearance sticker on them for £2.50. Not very much else reduced though.

I havent seen a single reduced Botanics or Time delay item anywhere in Coventry. But I did manage to get my first 6 4 1 today. :j The SA seemed more concerned whether my 450 points had gone or not!!!:rotfl: (Points were: 100 Botanics, 100 cold and flu and 250 No 7 from the pink bag)
I spent £5.99, got back 504 points and another voucher and saved £55.49. I still have two more No 7 vouchers and quite a few £3 ones and I am going to a Virgin Vie cosmetics party to night :eek: :rotfl:

I'm in Coventry :hello:

There are loads of reduced Botanics stock downstairs on the right hand side in Boots town centre branch (west orchards), I got some yesterday and there are loads left.

Hi, this is my first post on here, although I have been lurking for a while. I would just like to say thanks to everyone whos has posted all of these brilliant offers, I have saved loads, but my house is rather full of boots products now :rotfl: . I usually go to the Barnsley boots, I have noticed a couple of other on here go there too. To keep this offer related, the 6 for 1 definately works there. They have got reduced botanics products at the back left hand side of the shop too . I love this thread, I thought I was quite good with offer/bargains but I have definately learned alot from you guys. Thanks again and hope to speak to you all lots

Same happened to me yesterday, so what did I do....buy 5 more on eBay! :T

:rotfl: I have £48 worth on the way!!
Can I just point out though...these vouchers do run out in 7 days, so make sure the seller will be sending them first class if you are buying off Ebay. I have spotted a few listing that dont end until Sunday (auction style listings, not Buy it Nows), and the sellers are stating 2nd class postage, so if the vouchers are not sent out promptly you could end up receiving them too late. :eek:

Does anybody know how long these cosmetics last? The only reason I ask is because I have been tempted to do the 641 offer but I thought I would check out my Boots Stash first.....:eek: :eek: well I am shocked to discover that I still have sooooo much to use from last year (time delay fiasco) and althought I have given loads away I simply cannot use it all. Some I will simply have to throw away (what a waste :eek: ) even though I haven't even opened them..... (may have been really old when I got them)

Do the NO7 Sun Protection creams have a use by date as I really don't want to put stuff that is months out of date on my skin! BTW am I the only one to think it is strange to be selling so much Sun Cream in January?

Did another 641 today and am a bit angry. I bought various suncreams, with the most being £12. they all went through the till and it came to £14. Used the £5 voucher, so £9 in total, I was expecting it to be £12. SO checked my receipt and they took the cheapest item (£9.50) off twice-I only bought one! really annoying!!

And they didn't give me another voucher. Reckon I can email and complain about this?

If you really wont use some of the items how about selling them on Ebay or at a car boot sale? Seems a shame to throw them out!! Or give them to your local Womens Refuge or charity shop? Most stuff is fine for a few years as long as it hasnt been opened anyway.
I think the suncreams are being repackaged for spring/summer hence the bargains on the current in-store items.
