Boots Grabbit Bargains Thread Part 7 - post your finds here!

manda - the cheapest product in the "white" sanctuary range is £4.95 (wipes) but the SA has to manually override to get the voucher off on that one, apparently there isn't the same problem with the dearer products (they have some cleanser type stuff for £5.95 IIRC).

Hi all,

Hope someone can help me. Scanned back to page 19 re. Clinique Bonus time but to no avail. Eyes are now blurry! Can anyone confirm when this starts, think there were a couple of posts saying today? and others saying 22nd?
Also have £20 pigsback vouchers to use, are these treated like cash in store?, I have a 750 points voucher to use for the Clinique stuff but will this work if I use gift vouchers. I know I'm really chancing my arm here but hey ho, I have a double points voucher to use as well, if SA is willing will both of these work (I know it won't work on the extra points but on the normal points) or will one cancel the other?

Sorry for the drawn out post but am so tired as up a lot last night thinking of different combos to use my vouchers on and my brain is addled!!

Boots vouchers are treated as cash - so you can use double/extra points coupons with them.

If you get any change, this will be put on a giftcard - you will not get the cash back.

I have a Times voucher which I will not use (cannot use the Sanctuary stuff).

Happy to swap it.

Please PM me.

!!

The clinique offer starts THIS THURSDAY 22nd and you should be able to use your 750 extra points and douvle points. They wont cancel each other out .You will get double points for your normal spend and the 750 point bounuc. Fo some reason my 750 points never went on the other day but the SA added them manually. The giftcard is just like cash and you get any vouchers/ offers when spending with it.
CHEAPEST CLINIQUE PRODUCTS- shampoos & conditioners for £8.00 and pore minimizing blotting sheets are £7.50.

whooo hooo!!!:j
just recieved my parenting club vouchers!
am gonna try for the no7 mirror today.
im a bit scared so everyone wish me luck!!:j

Just go for it. Got the mirror on Sat with voucher. Girl at Benefit counter made me come back to her with everything as she was insisting that the free make up bag would not go through with 2 sharpeners:rotfl:
I took back the mirror and the wrap, 2 sharpeners and the £17.50 make up bag, Sanctuary weekend bag, eye gel and scrub bar.
Gave her the £5 parenting voucher, 100 points on Sanctuary, £3 from mag, £3 from bag and £2 from wrap.
Total before vouchers was £37 and after vouchers was £9:j
Also go another £5 voucher and about 640 points!
SA couldn't believe it! Her face was a picture:rotfl: :rotfl:

Thanks for this, just thought I'd check as used a 750 points before with Clarins who were offering 600 points for two purchases but only the 600 points went on - not from the voucher so wondered if it can't be used with any other points offer. Will give it a go and let you know how I get on.

If they dont go on ask them to put them on. There was no problem with it the last time the SA read the details on the voucher and agreed it should have worked. Im saving my 750 points bonus for the clinique bonus.
What you dais about the benefit girls- I find they are awkward- I know people say about the no7 assistants but the benefit ones are always too pushy & not intereasted unless they are getting a big sale ! Ask them for help or a bargain and their face falls- and if you really want to ruin their day showing them a voucher !

I just popped into boots and the clinique bonus time has started from today in my store. they had just finished putting all the gifts on display and posters up. Looks like there are 2 gifts to choose from, a makeup one and a treatment one. someone else did write this earlier in the thread!

i didnt manage to get any sanctuary gift bags...was planning on going today to get one as i really wanted a gift bag and the hand and nail cream but no bags anywhere!

i do have about 6 £5 vouchers tho instead so it isnt all bad i guess

Totally agree, the girl absolutely refused to give me a make up bag to try at the till (I of course knew it would go through from reading on here) she was insistant that it wouldn't work and of course the bags were stashed away so I couldn't just take one. But in the end I was surprised that she scanned all of the vouchers as she also lifted the wrap and said you can't have this either, this is a N07 free gift to which I patted the mirror with a big smile on my face. As we say in Scotland, she was BEELIN!:rotfl:
