  • Does anybody know whether you can get the free ROC gift with a £10 spend on ROC when you buy reduced price items? My local has loads of stuff for £3-£5 but not tried it yet...
    If I hadn't seen such riches, I could live with being poor...

    WOOO! I just had a wonderful shop :D

    Bought:
    2 x No7 FirmYour Body Suncare Kit (in the clear zip bag) (SEL says £24 each, scans at £12.25) - BOGOF
    1 x No7 wrap (FREE with above!)
    1 x Sanctuary Facial wash (£5.95)
    1 x Sanctuary Shower Mousse (£5.20) - i like this stuff so got instead of cheaper salt scrub soap
    1 x Sanctuary pamper bag (£10.50, but FREE with above 2 sanctuary purchases)
    2 x Cadbury Twirl (52p each, or 2 for 69p) - Mmmmmmm
    1 x No17 lipstick (£3.49)
    1 x No17 lipliner (£1.99, but FREE with voucher from ACM)
    - £3 sanctuary skincare voucher from mag (works with facial wash)
    - £2 luxury bathing voucher from wrap (works as the bag counts against the £10 required spend)
    - £1.99 for lipliner using ACM voucher (free lipliner with lipstick)
    - £5 off No7 parenting voucher (i was sent 2 by boots! woo..!) which of course scanned the full £12.25 value of the FirmYour Body Suncare Kit
    + 150 points on sanctuary skincare from ACM

    Total spent: £10.33
    Total savings today £43.34, incl £8.25 deals, £1.99 linksave and £8 save!Points received 29, + 150 offer points

    Plus I got the mag, and another £5 voucher. Could've split shop to get 2 vouchers, but was disguising the ol' parenting thing since the SA was female ;)

    A quick dash into Boots (Ashford, Kent) in my lunch hour - one £5 voucher in my pocket.

    Quickly noticed that some (not all) No. 7 suncare now half price (upstairs)

    Bought 2 x Boots brand water filter cartridges on offer 2 for £5 (I always buy these when in need of a spend to get a voucher as I will always use them up). Got another £5 No. 7 voucher - so now 2 in hand.

    Went hunting for a basket and lo and behold - the one on top had a £5 No. 7 voucher in it!!! - it's my lucky day - now 3 vouchers in hand!

    Did 3 transactions:
    2 x No 7 facial sun cream half price and BOGOF = £4.75 = free with voucher
    2 x firming body suncream (half price and BOGOF) = £6, so paid only £1
    2 x sparkly aftersun - or whatever it's called (half price BOGOF) = £4.75, so free!

    So ended up with 6 No. 7 suncare products for £1!
    Half of this will go to my lovely sister who lives miles from Boots. Our two families are going on holiday together this year, so we will both be well toned, tanned and sparkly (yeah right!).

    No. 7 Wrap deal warning

    I was in a city centre boots today and bought 2 No.7 two cooling facial balm and a meal deal and the wrap, but the wrap was refused as the till said "threshold not met" :eek: the SA queried and checked with a colleague and was told £15 minimum spend. So no wrap!
    The No.7 suncare is still BOGOF there are no guarantees for a wrap it seems. Thankfully had a No.7 voucher but thought you must be warned....

    I just went to boots. No bonus points at the AC machine on Sanctuary though for me :(

    First the SA scanned all the items, then I said I wanted to pay for some using my points. So she took off some of the items and I paid by cash. The others were rescanned then I redeemed points.

    My reciept:

    TS mini shampoo 159points
    TS mini conditioner 159points
    TS Shine spray [free]
    Aquafresh Toothbrush 249points
    LUNCH 299points



    Sanc Body Scrub £4.50
    Sanc Body Lotion £4.50
    Free weekend paper bag
    Rapid white kit £7.99
    Aussie 3min Mircle £4.49
    Aquafresh toothpaste £1.96
    Dove deodrant £1.95
    TOTAL CASH SPEND: £25.39

    I had 1195 points before, now I have 309. But I shouldn't have paid for the 2nd Aquafresh item as its BOGOF! :(

    I dont understand why the SA had to do 2 transactions?? Just confused matters!

    I want my £1.96 back! :p

    If you do go and get it sorted in store, Aussie stuff is on 2 for £5 (well online, and in both my stores it is) so you might as well get another one of those for an extra 51p! hth

    this happened to me last weekend, but when I queried it, turns out the SA had only scanned one item (by mistake) - could that have happened?

    Most of the No7 suncare range has been reduced online & I'm sure I read somewhere here that the ones you bought have been reduced to £6 each in some stores which would explain why the threshold wasn't met. Worth checking your receipt.

    I couldn't get a wrap either with my suncare :( but the suncare was reduced, so it scanned at reduced price instead of full (plus bogof).

    No7 factor 15 reduced to £5.75
    No7 cooling facial balm reduced to £3.75 .... bogof
    Total = £5.75
    Used No7 Voucher = 75p to pay :)

    Hi,
    I'm new to this thread, slightely confused......someone plse help me how to use the following vouchers effectively;
    5 GBP No7/Jemma Kidd/Ruby & Millie voucher from the parenting club,
    save 2 GBP when you buy any Bourjois product in one transaction,
    Voucher for free Boots single use camera with flash,

    I would love to get my hands on the Sanctuary bag/Max Factor gift set/No7 wrap! Greedy I know but after reading the success stories on this thread I just can't help the way I feel! Many thanks in advance.....


    im not 100% sure, but i think the value of the £5 no7 /jemma kid voucher is more than £5 so will allow you to get certain no7 items free, i think the illuminated no7 mirror is one of the items, also some of the boots disposable cameras are on BOGOF at the moment so the camera voucher will get you 2 cameras instead of 1, hope this helps a little
    dont wait for your boat to come in, get in a dingy and row out to it!!!
