Boots Grabbit Bargains Thread part 8 - post your finds here

finallydebtfree!!

I finally used my 100 points for photo albums/frames that came with my mailing ages ago, only remembered I had the voucher when my friend went in to pick up some prints!

picked up 2 double frames that were reduced to £3, they were also bogof, so £3 the pair (taking into account the voucher they actually worked out at £1 each!) :j

originally they were £7 each :eek: bargain xmas pressies for a £1

Can any of you experienced bootsers tell me what to do with my £5 off a fragrance. Is it worth using? Also what is the best buys with £5 off skin care?

I want to know too about the £5 fragrance voucher as I have one to use up. SA in Boots showed me a blue Inspiration Shower Gel for £15 which would be the least amount of money to spend :mad: . I can see this voucher going to waste...

Tried my £1 off No17 nail polish from the ACM on a reduced nail polish for £1.25 but till did not like it, boohoo. Did get the basic mouthwash for 71p and the hand/nail cream for £1.39, so I paid £2.10 and received 200pts . No P&P or R&R anywhere to be seen. 'Helpful' No7 SA suggested to look at boots.com. Hahaha. Saw lots of the FCUK £13 bags free with £5 FCUK spend but could not be tempted. Might go back Friday when they expect another 60x of the P&P. I take it the P&P and R&R are not classed as moisturizers to get the extra 100pts are they?

Thanks for any help, I am getting close to £100 on my AC :T . Must start using OH's card!

Yes I emailed them about an order that didn't come on time and they emailed back to say they would refund the £4.50 and add 500pts to my card.
But I paid by Paypal and my advantage card is lost and I am waiting on a new one:mad: :mad: :mad:

I'll have to phone them:mad:

How long did it take them to email you back? I emailed boots on monday about returning a product to boots.com and have had no reply

Does anyone know if the No7 body moisturiser, skin spritz or hand cream work with the £5 skincare voucher?

Also can i use both the parenting voucher and £5 skincare voucher in one transaction?

Thanks

Fragrence £5 voucher-here are some ideas ( some are on line but may be same prices in store as one shop i was in today had items reduced )
CK ONE 100ML after shave reduced on line from £25 to £12.50 maybe same in store.
CK eternity shower 200ML gel on linE £21 now £10.50
most CK mens deodrants are £13
CK ONE DEODRANT IS ONLY £10.50
CKIN2U SHOWER GEL £14.00
DAVIDOFF ECHO MENS REDUCED ON LINE TO £12.50 PLUS FREE TOP


I bought the ckin2u 100ml spray for £33 because I had 2 x £5 vouchers ( one from purchase & one from boots good customer brochure ) and I also got a free calvin klein towel for a purchase over £30.It was for a birthday pressie so ok for £23 and i get the towel ! .
Generally the cheapest items are really between £11- £13 for shower gels/ deodrants in most ranges- just ask at your local store and some stores do have reductions.
Most of the davidoff/ lacoste perfumes are from £19- £25 range and the small bottle of ckin2u is £25. All prices before vouchers !

Thanks Cat72, that is very helpful. I did ask SA today, but she looked at my voucher like she had never seen one before, and I tried to explain that I would like to spend with the least amount of money needed, but she just kept pointing at all the £20+ perfumes. I might head back and see if there's something nice to treat OH.

I tested the Chanel Chance Eau Fraichelle today, mmmmmmmmm, lovely. I wonder if they ever have Chanel on special offer?? Me thinks I could spend some of my points on a Chanel treat for myself...

Sadily there are very rarely any freebies or specials on chanel- make up or fragrence Its usually the price it is and tough - the best you can do is buy at triple points or print a minimum spend voucher from the atm before purchase or use an on line code- 10% is a good one when its available .I will have a whiff of the chanel tomorrow since you recommended it
SKINCARE VOUCHER- I tried to buy the bogof nivea wipes today using the £5 skincare voucher as someone had said they did it on here. Didnt work and had to void the whole sale -so definately not one to try .Did get my free sample of the age rewind that the machine gave me. The no7 sa had a sign saying they were strictely to be given out with atm voucher only- how mean.She had went to lunch when I got mine- whoops .:rotfl:

I don't know about the classification, but I bought one P+P last week in store and used the 100 points for n7 moisturiser and this was at the n7 counter, so it is not even a glitch, it's the actual classification of the P+P.

I know this isnt boots related so i hope the forum police dont arrest me but...

Debenhams has a nice bonus time for Elizabeth arden in store. you have to buy 2 items one to be skincare and you get a bag, lipstick, eyeshadow mirror compact, mini brush set, lipgloss, cream and maybe a few others thats all i remember!!
