Just tried to use my magazine £3 off Sanctuary skin care coupon on wipes - but was refused at till point. Apparently it has to say "spa" on the label. Will try again!

Just got back from out of town Boots store

I got

• 2 x waterproof disposable cameras free with parenting voucher
• Pair of socks reduced to £2 and used AC voucher (from machine) for 50 points
• No. 17 brush set - the 'old style' one (only one left on shelf) - 50p (thanks to OP for this)
• No. 17 silver bag containing nail varnish, eyeshadow and lip gloss - in reduced section for 50p (Xmas GWP?)
• All No. 7 suncare except self-tan stuff now reduced to £1.50!!!! and on 3 for 2 (not BOGOF though) - so got 3 items for £3 (were £11.50 each originally)

So spent grand total of £6
Total value before discounts, 3for2 and vouchers would have been £62.47 + value of the No. 17 GWP (contents probably worth about £6).

The only downside was that I was thrilled to find the elusive Protect and Perfect Beauty Serum (as mentioned on Horizon) - there were several on the shelf for £16.50, so I thought it would be an ideal chance to use my No. 7 parenting voucher. But the till only took the £5 off - not the full value, so I changed my mind about it.

If anyone is looking for the No. 7 suncare at these bargain basement prices, they still have lots on the shelves at the Boots in the Sevington Business Park in Ashford, Kent.

I've got the hump! Used my last voucher yesterday on suncare, it was reduced to £6 and not the £1.50 quoted here. Have I been diddled? This was the Romford store. Do the stores have different pricing policies? As a newby any advice appreciated.l Does anyone know of a store near to romford area that still has No 7 suncream reduced? Hornchurch and Upminster did not have any.

I get no vouchers wotsoever boo hoo ........wot have i done wrong

You may need to check that you have accepted to receive mailings from them.Think you can check your details via acm machine.This booklet of vouchers shows your points accumulated to 13th Feb,how many you have spent and how much worth you have left.It comes about every 3 months and used to be included in the mailing when the magazine used to be home delivered.
If you cant do it via acm machine it may be worth ringing customer services to check that you are 'opted in' to receive direct mailings.
when you first applied for a card the tiny box to tick may have got missed.

I went in today armed with my last 2 no7 vouchers and £10 pigsback with a mission to spend without spending cash! I also got the best customer ac voucher for 10%off if i spend my points-no way i never spend points.printed the foundation vouche for 300 points and a couple of others(50p of 17 lipstick to use on sunday for the goodie bag) 50 points on wash&go shampoo which is 99p at mo so not bad and triple points on closer magazine which i buy anyway then fod a reduced section-grabbed 3 boxes of wrigleys extra chewing gum at 17p each, 2 packs of revlon eyelshes at £1.49, a no17 nail varnish mum wanted £1.49, and some no7 bronzing pearls £9 and closer magazine£1.10. total =£15.08, handed no7 voucher and 10 pigsback so 8p to pay which i got off mum so no spend for me today! They had reduced sanctuary gift packs at £3.50 which had body brush and body wash in a pack, mioni bathing products with bath mitt or back brush and shower gel but .mum wouldn't let me buy more sanctuary stuff as we ahve a cupboard full already.
anyway i love false eyelashes and because i got a bargain today i will be returning some false nails which had free eyelashes inside which i got on tuesday and use the £5.79 towards no7 foundation tomorrow so i saved my last voucher as the ac machine gave me 300 points towards foundation!

Trans 3:

Even the lovely SA said "wow you've got some bargains there"

I put all items through with the same SA at the same time, i just explained that I had "loads" of No7 vouchers to use, she said "Thats fine, there given out to be used"

Fab day for me only got 12 points added, but I dont mind when im getting all this for nothing :rotfl: :rotfl:
