On the boards advertising the free pamper bag it says you cant buy sachets, foot care & something else to get one.

I know Glitterati has sucessfully done this.

But be aware if you get an eagle eyed CA you may not be allowed the freebie.

Ohhh so reduced items will deffo scan okay with the free gift? The smaller Boots has reduced nail & cuticle cream, i'm not sure if they have the bags though... but the SA is a grumpy thing and would probably refuse to even try scanning it... investigation needed! I wasn't going to try hehe

Yeah the reduced things worked no problem with me! It doesnt say anything on the sign about excluding reduced, only sachets and minis I think!

I don't think the suncare bogof will work with this voucher as its specifically for No7 colour cosmetics not skincare as well.

It might be worth a try though.

The suncare does work & you get a FREE WRAP aswell.

I bought 2 x £7.50 suncare items

BOGOF - £7.50

used £5 voucher , leaving me just £2.50 to pay.

I've been lurking around for ages but never posted before...I bought the sanctuary products today with the free bag...tried to use both the voucher out of the new magazine and the voucher from the ACM and both can only be used with the skincare range....the machine beeps to let the SA know. Not sure if you can get the bag with 2 purchaces of the skincare range as they're not displayed together.

Hope this helps

I got reduced sanc nourishing body wash £2.47 & reduced sanc sugar polish £3.50 & got a free w/end pamper bag.

Also got 2 x face spritz @ £2.72 each & got free pamper bag.

I did try putting all these together so it meant I had spent over £10 & I tried to use the 200 points from the c1t booklet but it wouldnt accept it nor the £3 off from the new mag. So i did it in 2 trans so I got 2 vouchers.

I also topped up DS phone & I was given a voucher ( wish I had done it in 2 £5 transactions & I would of got 2x £5 vouchers)

There were no n07 mirrors either

And you can use the new No 7 voucher on skincare products too. It has a picture of cream on the front and I also checked with SA. Not just for use with cosmetics

I have ambitious plans for Boots at the weekend, any comments/advise/recommendations on the below heartily welcomed!

I have £24 in vouchers, and hopefully by then, a £5 parenting voucher.

Transaction one:

Benefit sharpener and mascara (I know I could get two sharpeners, but I want the mascara) = 17.00 + No7 voucher + 500 points


Questions: anyone know when the 500 points offer ends on Benefit - I tried the website but it just crashed constantly on me. Also, do I get normal points on the £17 as well as bonus points?


Transaction two:

No7 hydro quench moisturiser £14.50
No7 Spring Eye Pallette £10.50
Free Wrap
Shampoo and Conditioner (just to mask what I'm doing I hope) around £5.00
+ 250 points on No7 Hydroquench
- Parenting voucher (hopefully will take off £14.50)
- No7 voucher £5
+ triple points

= £10.50ish (depending on price of shampoo etc) +
no7 voucher

These two will give me, providing all the vouchers are accepted, roughly 800 points, on a spend of £3.50 cash, the rest in vouchers.

I am currently debating the sanctuary items, I do have new mags in my local, but I'm not very good on the sanctuary stuff.

Also, I have recently had a couple of SAs check the terms and conditions :eek: and tell me its one coupon per transaction, which will clearly put a major downer on the above. How many people have had this happen - its quite a big store, so hopefully I can find a saturday boy, but I'm a bit worried.

Edit: I do have a 10% off voucher as well... because our boots is being refitted they are handing these out for use in that store only, but I really don't think they're going to let that go through as well:rotfl:

Please can someone tell us which of the suncare is £7.50 or thereabouts so we can make a list. I thought I would give Boots a rest this week but if this works I can going to try and get to a big Boots on Friday.

Do you put things through the till in a certain order, wrap first, then suncare?

I dont suppose that they also give you another £5 no 7 voucher when you do this or that the "spend £7.50 get 50 points" voucher will work either!

(Just wondering what else to buy to get over £5, maybe the FCUK plus freebie offer, so little I actually need now. I added a box of tampons once to get over £5 to get a voucher and then took it back afterward for a refund!)

I've been for my first March (well almost) bootsing trip...

Trans 1 - botanics mini shower gel (+100 extra points), 342 on mini umberto hair care products. 2for£2 carex handwash. Came to just over £5 and so got £5 No7 voucher back.

Trans 2 - BOGOF 2 x £8.50 No7 preholiday body stuff + 1 tan corrector wipe + free No7 wrap - used £5 voucher and got another 1 back :rotfl: .

So i can confirm that the BOGOF suncream - £5 No7 voucher means you can effectivley get the 2 suncreams and a wrap for £2.50 again :j :j :j

Looked at the sanctuary stuff but seems like it needs a significant cash outlay. Am going to wait until i can find a new mag with £3 voucher in.

Also they had about 8 MF boxes in Leeds city centre. But SA wouldnt let me have it on first transaction . Stupidly didnt try again on second one but ended up with a male too busy chatting to his mate to look at what i was buying. I bet he would have put one through but i was happy enough with my No7 bargains!!
