    I spent 20 mins on one eye - made them look a little better, but I wouldn't pay more than £1 for them!

    Hi,

    I'm new to this thread but have been reading and learning from it for quite a while.

    I was brave enough today to actually try bootsing for real.

    Here's how it went.

    Shop 1;

    Photoframe 9x6 reduced to £5.00 from £10.00
    Photframe 6x4 reduced to £4.00 from £8.00
    Baby booties reduced to £2.00 from £5.00

    Paid £7.00 - the 6x4 photoframe came up as free. Got a no 7 voucher.

    Shop 2;

    No 7 Shimmer aftersun x2 £8.50 BOGOF - got free no 7 wrap
    Sanctuary scrub bar - £3.95
    Sanctuary body spritz - £3.49
    Free sanctuary pamper bag
    Botanics Shaving Gel for men - £3.00

    Used;
    No 7 £5 voucher from previous shop
    50% off mens' botanics voucher from machine
    Double points coupon from parenting club vouchers
    Got another £5.00 no 7 vouvher
    200 extra points on sanctaury products (had to be put on by very nice SA)

    Paid £12.90 Saved £23.50:T

    Shop 3;
    No 7 suncream for face x2 £8.50 BOGOF
    Free no 7 wrap
    Always silk normal sanitary towels 2 for £2.50
    Baby T-shirt reduced to £2.50 (reduced from £4.50)
    Baby sleepsuit reduced to £4.00 (reduced from £8.00)

    Used;
    No 7 £5 voucher from previous shop

    Paid £15.50 Saved £21.13:j

    Baby girl needed some new clothes as she's growing soo fast, shaving gel for husband and the rest are christmas presents for this year (I spread the cost over the year) and photoframes are mother's day presents (with a picture of my new baby girl for both grandma's).

    Quite pleased with today's shop.

    Welcome! and very well done!
  • Total nightmare in Boots today! I introduced my friend to the wonderful world of Boots and she was itching to spend her recently accquired £5 parenting voucher and really wanted the No7 mirror (though not enough to pay actual cash for it obviously!). Anyway she took it to the till with a wrap and everything scanned through fine and the voucher took the total down to zero, but the SA was having none of it and called for the manager who overrode the till and charged her £14.99! She went downstairs and got a refund but ended up with no mirror and no parenting voucher, she was gutted. Not a very good start to Bootsing, I don't think she'll be going again for a while!

    Someone recently asked what was the lowest spend to get a free Sanctuary bag? I bought a reduced £1.74 skin spritz (orange) and a reduced £2.94 skin toner (white). I used a £3 off coupon from the mag and so the £2.94 toner came up as free. I then used a 150 points from the ac so effectively only paid 24 pence!!!

    24 pence for 2 products and a free bag - very good value ;)

    I really think I am addicted to BOOTS!
    :)I used to have a life............................... before MSE!!
  • bootsing is sooooooooooooooo addictive :rotfl:
