Today I tried to get the nivea wipes on bogof but they wouldnt work with £5 voucher.
i got The Sanctuary Spa Warming Microbrasion Polish & used £3 out of last months mag & £5 skincare leaving me £1.95 to pay, really happy with that.


Loads of reduced sanc self tanning potions £1.48 & self tanning kits @£4.98 but they wouldnt scan with £5 voucher.

Managed to grab 10 sample tubes of radiant skin exfoliator & 4 of the collagen boosting mask.

Had the SA eyes following me around the store as im well known there, its not a nice feeling & very intimidating

i love sanctuary stuff and used 3 of my vouchers today to get creamy body wash, foaming bodywash and milky body spray all for free.Used my last voucher on nivea visage skincare wipes curently bogof so piad £1.36 for 4 packets which was a bargain.(they are £3.18 each usually)

Hi - I tried to use the £5 skincare voucher on the Nivea wipes but when sa scanned coupon it didn't take the £5 off - she tried again but nothing was taken off......I think its just for 'Nivea visage DNAge' range??

Did the voucher scan for you or did they override??? anyone else been able to get the wipes with the voucher????

Finally used my last Sanctuary £5 voucher (the introductory one) that runs out today. As usual didn't scan, mentioned this to the SA who had to ask another member of staff for help with it. They apologised and redirected me to another till where the override key was, no problem i say, until i see what till they divert me to... dum dum DUMMMM... it's only the one with the old lady who point blank refuses to hear anything you say about vouchers, god forbid you have more than one as she'll refuse to scan it.

Till bleeped, she said it'd expired, i pointed out it ended today and i'd been asked to come to this till to override, she says louder nothing she can do, i protest that i was told to come to this till, she starts getting louder "NOTHING I CAN DO NO, NO, NO, TILL SAYS EXPIRED"... i inhale and get slightly louder myself, repeat that i was told to come here.. "WHO TOLD YOU TO COME HERE? HUH?" i sigh again, and say I didn't take a name.... she scuttles off to whinge about me to line manager, her colleague at tills get hugely apologetic and says not to mind her, i smile back and say no worries, i know she's never keen on my vouchers

line manager returns, lo and behold he was the blokie that told me to go to this till. 95p cleanser thank-you-very-much. (oh, and a flapjack hehe)

i got new voucher in acm for 100 ac points on any mouthwash.
boots basics is only 71p so you make 29p in points.
i bought the smile one at 99p though so i only made 1point--but what do points make??? happy bootsers!!!!!!!

I was just about to ask the same question, regarding the essential aromatherapy offer. I couldn't see anything instore cheap enough to make it worth getting the free body lotion.

I bought the coconut body lotion the other day@1.99 and used 100p voucher. I also bought the hand cream@1.39 and used 100p voucher. I only really bought these products to make up a 10.00 spend so I could earn another skincare voucher - I haven't used either product yet. They are in one of my many boxes of boots/tesco toiliteries. Probably won't get around to using them for quite some time LOL

I must officially need to go back to schoool lol! im pretty sure I had that hand cream voucher but threw it out as I thought it said I had to buy 2 products....i dunno these vouchers from the acm seem to get more confusing for me to read!! if i get it again i will prob use the hand cream as for 39p seems a good deal.

i will allow the aromatherapy offer then as i dont want to spend any money on unnecessay goods (even tho most of what i buy could be classed as that!)

i joint the health club and have the 60% of boots ibuprofen....has anyone used this? are these pills behind the counter or on the shopfloor? :beer:
