Boots Grabbit Bargains Thread part 8 - post your finds here

red-boxer

I have compared the Ebay vouchers with a genuine one that i have, i think the Ebay ones are genuine, they could be 'seconds' maybe as they are cut a little bit shorter than the real ones, not that noticable apart from that they look and feel exactly the same. Lots of MSE's have used them today without any problems and i shall be using mine tomrrow.
To the poster who linked us to the Ebayer, please don't feel bad , it looked like a good bargain and i'm sure it is, I am looking forward to using mine as i need some new sunglasses for all the family.

i email the man with the vouchers and he said

They are 100% genuine. I know because ive spent them! I only have them due to a rather silly sales assistant in boots! If you do not want them, I am more than happy to take them back.
many thanks

wonder what that means !!!!! hmmmmmmm... i'll try and spend them but will crunch them a bit first

I am betting that the SA accidentally put the pad of vouchers in his carrier bag, I almost had that happen to me, it was a young Saturday girl who was really flustered and picked up the vouchers along with goods I had bought and loaded them all into a carrier bag! I hadnt even noticed, it was the eagle-eyed lady in the queue behind me that spotted it and shouted it out otherwise I would have walked out with a bookful of vouchers.... heaven only knows what I would have done with them ....:D

I feel bad - I posted the link to the seller for the coupons :mad:

I haven't decided what to do yet with mine but I bought a few lots too. I've contacted the seller with my thoughts and asked for their comments.

To those disappointed - I apologise for my poor judgement, they seemed like a bargain though.

Mine arrived this morning and they looked pretty genuine to me. I am going to use them tomorrow. I will post my results.

I am not disappointed, and if they turn out to be fake (which I don't think they are), you know what, so I lost £4. You only pointed me in the direction of the vouchers - it was my choice to buy them.

You have no need to apologise for anything.

Please be careful - I may be wrong (and I am sure someone will correct me if I am) but if these are forgeries and you are stopped/challenged you could end up being charged with "going equipped to defraud".

my feeling is if u think there are please dont try it

Thanks to this site, I got a free Quattro Titanium Razor which has given me the best shave ever - so when I saw an 8-pack of replacement blades for £6.97 at Boots, I had to refrain from grabbing the lot. This is a saving of > £3 over Tesco and Superdrug prices. Boots also have the Quattro razor at half-price (£2.98).
This is the first razor that gives me a close, nick-free shave. :T :T

bought some cleanser from boots that gave me an outbreak of rashes...my skin itched for hours after the first use. took it back to boots, and a scary mean looking SA flatly refused to change it for me. (i think she quite intimidating). tried again a couple of hours later, and managed to get it swapped with something in another range. second sa was really nice, and helpful.

its the 3rd time i shopped in boots in 4 years.

first time was when i needed to get some hand cream..not sure which is the best one, so i tried to grab hold of a important looking sa, who told me "dont ask me. I wont know. ask someone else" (very nice, very helpful)

second time, went in to get something for my sickly looking cuticles. again, cant find any helpful sa. Saw two young SAs stocking the shelves and chatting with each other. asked for help. One of them said something along the lines of "i am doing the stocking here, walk along and you will find someone who has nothing to do and they will be able to help you. Otherwise, go to the counter" so i did walk along, and having found no other person to ask, i bought some hand and nails cream. paid for it,..and on the way out, the alarm went off......(aaarrgghh) security came, and check each of my 7 to 8 shopping bags throughly. was very embarassed, as there were so many other people looking on. he eventually told me that a cd i bought from hmv has got a magnetic thing which set the alarm off. (needless to say, i was deeply trumatised, and never went into boots anymore)

i normally just go to savers, or superdrug, as the people are much more helpful and friendly. however, as luck would have it, i stumbled upon the boots threads, and find myself strange drawn to boots. However, i think it will take me a LONG time to be a boots tart...i need to muster the courage to step into boots eveytime. i find the SAs very unhelpful and daunting.

just back from a successful shop at Boots, won't bore you with the details but as i was walking out looked like a new mag ?may/June on the shelves is that so? if so does anyone know if there are any exciting coupons this time?
