    If you only buy 1 nail varnish you won't get the free gift :( But i was told by an SA you can only use 1 voucher and so she only took 1 off me. Pretty sure they're telling everyone now you can only use 1 voucher per transaction, but you might get lucky.

    Also the order of the free item is the cheapest is free, so your voucher might not work. Worth a try though - good luck!

    SA's like telling you/us that, that's why I want to use a SS till to maximise savings, but I need to get a voucher first so just wondered if it's better to spend £5 at the SS till, or to go to a manned till first.

    I'm not too bothered about the free gift as I don't use any of the products included. I'm all about the face wipes :p

    Yes i know =/ i has my local manager serve me, nail varnishes went through at 50p more and had to refund me £2, then threw the nail varnishes back into the bag! She was nice, but a little stroppy with it, and was stood next to the woman who served me so couldn't of tried the 2 vouchers if i wanted :( Although after all of my transactions i always got another set of vouchers. I currently have about 5 sets in my purse lol. You could always go to a manned till and ask if theyre still giving out the vouchers/get them on SS tills? Might save you some hassle then?

    Would it work if I bought 2x wipes and 1x nail varnish (would it total £6 after the till spit scans?)

    Am in desperate need of some Boots No7 wipes!

    no, this wouldn't work because the till spit is £5 off skincare and £3 off make-up. Your nail varnish is your cheapest item, so is free on the 342, so the £3 off make-up will not scan in this example.
    I think the GWP has to be with 2 items of NO7 make-up too doesn't it, not 2 skincare (not sure about this as I haven't found any GWPs yet)?

    Like I said above, you won't get the £3 make-up tillspit to scan if you buy 2 wipes and one nail polish. However, last time this voucher was being given out, most of mine were SS tillspits, and both vouchers were in one (ie the £3 off and the £5 off came off when you used the one voucher and were buying suitable products). They couldn't be split up, like the manned till voucher can.

    Thanks, that's what I wanted to know. I'll try it with 2x nail varnishes and 1x face wipes. That should work out around £5.50 if I use a SS till spit. :)

    If you're really only after the wipes, you'd be better just buying a pack of wipes and using the £5 off skincare voucher = £2.
