  • no, I'm sure the 3rd item (the free one) just has to cost less than £5.50 for this still to work.

    Yes, the free item can be anything under £5.50 for it to be the free item. The free item is calculated from the original prices, not the prices after any vouchers :)
  • I wasn't allowed to use both vouchers in my Boots, but I got another so may try in the other one that we have outside the town.

    Maybe she just didn't know that we could use both, but this time I have made sure to read the back! One voucher per item, not transaction. (oops)

    Hang on, if it's one voucher per item and you have a few vouchers, could you use two make up vouchers and one skin care voucher and potentially reduce the cost by another £3?
  • Thank you so much for this.
    I ran out of moisturizer on Thursday (excellent timing) so bought a No 7 moisturizer (£9) and two nail polishes (£5.50 each) total £6.50 and got another new voucher so will stack up on more in the week.
    I swear the nail polish used to be £7 or is it in my head??
    Third time lucky on WW I hope :j

    its not one voucher per item unfortunately, its one voucher per transaction (the usual Boots blurb, I've got a voucher in front of me).

    The voucher does state one per item, not transaction because i argued with the lady in boots over the fact that she wouldnt let me use them together.

    Technically we are not supposed to use it with the 3 for 2 offer, i checked with boots and this is what they said

    It worked!!

    Today i got some wipes ,sharpener and hair bands all in 3 for 2!!

    You just have to make sure the FREE item is NOT the no.7 item.In my case the hair bands were cheaper than the sharpener.

    Unless you want 3 no.7 items then its ok.

    It also works with luxury bathing cos i got some FREE Natural collection body wash.

    i see what you mean - the tillspit ones (from the ss tills) say one per transaction. However, one voucher gives you both the £3 off and the £5 off if you use the ss tills to put through your NO7 342 :).

    Sorry to be a bit thick, but would the following work?

    No7 Moisture Drench Lipstick £9
    No7 High Shine Lip Gloss £8.50
    No7 Face Wipes £7

    Thanks in advance....

    No this won't work as you will get the wipes free as they are the cheapest item. You need to change one of your make up items to something that is £6.99 or less so this becomes free.

    Another option would be to buy the lipstick and gloss but change the wipes to a different skin care item that costs £8.51 or higher. This would make the gloss free, £3 would come off the lipstick then £5 off your skin care item.
