  • Well, I treated myself to the Davidoff cool water purfume and free hoodie top today, with my points. I ended up with the 50mls for £21 which I was planning on spending less, the SA talked me into getting the larger size as it was currently on offer at the same price as the 30mls one????? I actually thought the prices were £12 for the 30mls and £17 for the 50mls, so what happened there I dont know!!

    Anyway, I also managed to pick up one of those lipstick No7 bags i had heard so much about, was priced £6.50 minus the fiver no7 voucher £1.50 to pay. I am presuming this was one of their GWP last summer?? How did I manage to miss this bag?? I thought I had them all!! Pleased I eventually got one.

    Also, I needed to stock up on hair conditioner as thats the only thing I hadnt got tons of and although there are several offers on instore for hair products, I bought their tubs of deep treatment conditioners 2 for £2 (they are usually £1.99 each, so nearly BOGOF!!) Found one of them online

    I ended up with 4 of these, they do them in Henna and horse chestnut, coconut & almond oil and camomile. They are Boots own make. I got them last year when they were on offer and they work fab, got some nail& cuticle sanctuary cream that was reduced to £2.25 to take it over the £5 spent for yet another £5 no7 voucher.

    Just realised, slap on the forehead for being such a dozy mare!! I could have used the 100 points voucher from acm for the sanctuary, damn and blast!! Sod all in offers for me today in acm ( there never is on a saturday for some strange reason!!), but the 100 points for sanctuary was on there! May have to go back and get nother one, just making sure I use the voucher this time!!

    Hiya!!
    Found this little piccie on boots.com
    http://www.boots.com/guidedsearch/newsearch.jsp?searchArea=1&searchTerm=no7++bag&uri=%2Fguidedsearch%2Fnewsearch.jsp&classificationId=&contentId=&articleId=&N=0&Ntk=all&Nty=1&Go.x=39&Go.y=13
    Its the top piccie of the little bag with lipstick print filled with no7 goodies

    Just a thought.... wonder if these bags would still go through free on a £15 spend on no7 if you had had enough of the wraps, or now they are priced up at £6.50 would they just add the £6.50 to your bill???

    I got loads of all 3 "flavours" last year, but with me having long hair, I go through conditioner like its going out of fashion, and I ran out probably about christmas, and Ive never got round to stocking back up, Ive just been picking the odd conditioner up, so I really needed to stck up. On looking, I nearly got the Naked intensive conditioner tub, as it was BOGOF, but at £7.99, although I would be getting 2 for that price, it was still a lot to pay for it, also Aussie hair cair on offer, 2 for £5, but the bottles were so small, on bottle would probably be gone in one wash with my hair, so didnt bother with that, then remembered how fab these tubs were, and on looking for them saw they were on offer. Sooooo, my hair will be happy for a little while now!!:rotfl:

    Hello all, this is my first time posting on this thread but I read it everyday!
    Today I got a Sanctuary Spa Facial Cleanser and SS Hand Cream with the free SS Weekend Pamper bag. I used £3 voucher from mag, £2 luxury bathing voucher and extra 150 points voucher! The remaining few pounds to pay were courtesy of my Pigsback Boots voucher, so my goodie bag of SS products was completely free! So thanks to everyone on this thread for all the great ideas!

    This was in the big Boots on Oxford St, London. There are LOADS of SS Weekend Pamper bags here, but they don't have the vouchers in them. Big range of skincare and body products. So much to choose from!! They also had several No7 heated eyelash curlers but I didn't want one. They also had STACKS of the No7 wraps here! And there were signs for £6 suncare items on BOGOF too.

    In the Boots in Bond St underground station they had the No7 mirror and facial sauna if anyone is looking for them.

    What I am really after is one of the hair trimmers - does anyone know if any London store has these? I have looked in a few, and all I have found are the eyelash curlers.

    Thanks for any help given!

    Yes,I think I am getting the hang of it now! LOL (except I forgot the points voucher!)

    I got the Sactuary bag at the Fort.
    Also the sun creams,but they had no eye/lip shimmers so persuaded Oh to take me to Straiton and i got the last 2 on display (on stand near no7 make up rather than the suncare bit)
    Then I grabbed 2 facial suncare kits for £9.75 on BOGOF and used £5 voucher.

    All SAs very nice and commented on the good deals.:T :T :T :T One told me just to bring everything at once and she would put the transactions seperately.I was going round and round spending 1 voucher at a time!!!!!

    Just been on e-bay and a eye/lip shimmer is at £4.20 + £1.00 P+P!!!!!!:eek:
    I got 2 for 50p!

    Can't wait for the next offer/glitch!
    :j I love bargains:j

    Just bought Davidoff Cool Water 15ml £10, got free hoodie
    and £5 voucher back. Used my OH's £10 voucher from pigsback.
    It felt good spending no money ;)
    Thanks to OP

    Am considering taking mine back now as i was told the offer was only on the 50ml one that i paid with points for, i havent used it yet do you think they would accept it back and exchange for a smaller one if i said i was getting it for someone else??? i still have the reciept


    Also in reference to 641 suncream, could it be that the small branches still have the old packaging and the larger stores were the new packaging? just a thought

    dont think so as it was exactly the same products and bar/boots codes at both stores that we visited. no idea why it happened. but got to be worth a try!
