I saw a post on here about max factor freebies and went to my local boots to look but they dont have any, is it normal for different areas to have different offers?

Unforunately it is. My local store never has any MF freebies either. I've only ever seen them in Kensington, London.

Wish the blooming Sanctuary vouchers would scan have had a nightmare of a Sanctuary shop ended up paying more than i wanted £2 wrap voucher wouldn't scan neither £3 skincare even though i got 2 Skincar and 1 Bathing Said i hadn't spend required amt i said no limit on £3 voucher so she overrode till Nightmare

NIGHTMARE PLS GIVE ME A GOOD BOOTS SHOPPING TRIP !!!!

That's strange. I used the 2.00, 3.00, and 3.00 money off vouchers and 150/200points vouchers again today and they all went through ok. Maybe the SA didn't scan them correctly. For example; the wrap voucher is in euros on one side and sterling the other.

Thanks i wondered about that but said not allowed, Min spend threshold not obtained, will try another time.

The £11.50 suncream is now scanning at £6....couldn't get the wrap..also we had the max factor box in the basket making our way to the till and a woman came out of nowhere and just took the box out of our basket and said"You need to spend £15 to get that free"..She was so rude she didn't even look if we had any MF products in our basket as we had a few items in there...Then the lady on the till had an attitude as I had a boots mag I wanted to put back as my friend had forgot boots card and so I was looking around and she snatched it off me and threw it on the counter next to her...I was mad..I told her I would put it back if she told me where the stand was as I had picked it up upstairs and I was downstairs...I said "There's no need to throw it I will put it back"...
I haven't been to boots for a long time for any bargains and it's put me off now altogether...At least I saved some money

oooh I went to Brent Cross at lunch and got:

2 single use flash cameras
No 7 Illuminated Mirror
No 7 Wrap
Meal deal (wrap, crisps, drink)
Nive pearl deodrant
MF eye liner
MF gift Box
No 7 Mousse Cream
No 7 Face Cream

Total paid: £10.79 (plus 2 X £5 no 7 vouchers back

I put the mirror through by itself (seperate transaction for the moussse and cream)

2 cameras came off free with the parenting voucher, and the mirror came off with the £5 parenting voucher.

The SA said the MF gift box was with 3 purchases I just sais I hadn't realised and that there were no signs, she scanned it anyway and just said oooh it worked lol.


Erm and then the 2 no 7 items i put through were marked at £9.00 each, came off as bogof and with the no. 7 voucher she said there was £1 to pay... not sure how that works but I'm not complaining.

Only picked up 1 wrap although I could probably have got another with 2nd purchase, don't need any more

Pudding,
That is shocking,how did she know you weren't about to add other items:mad:
I would defo contact CS about that,imagine a SA grabbing things out your basket in tescos or Asda!!!
She could have said can I show you where to get qualifying products?
If I was you I would be more determined to grab boots bargains ..it serves them right!!!!!!
Lets face it Boots make pleny money from those (non MSErs) who pay full price!

pudding

thanks dotchas...I will leave it a few days before I go in..We felt stupid
