    When you buy the diarize on bogof is it any size? The coupon in the boots mag says 12 pack size do you have to buy that size or will any size do? Do I need 1 mag coupon for each pack if they are bogof? How much will 2 x 12 packs cost me using the mag mocs?

    Thanks


    You need the coupon from the Boots magazine and there is also a 100pt coupon in the ACM for Diareze. They dont appear to be advertised as BOGOF instore. You can only purchase the 12 packs from the Pharmacy counter, but you can 'buy' the 6 packs through the normal tills. Boots pay you 1p to take em away! :T

    Forgot to mention.....buy them with something else to disguise the glitch! :)

    I'm new here and seems to me that everybody is talking about their experience including their favourite Boots, Tesco etc.
    Why don't you report them?

    I've just read your previous posts and it's like the 'we hate product placing' scene in Wayne's World....

    If this was your first post and you were new& unaware of the rules then nobody would complain and you would have been made aware of what is and what is not allowed but every single post you made yesterday advertised!
    Alot of people pointed it out to you politely but you chose to disregard them.
    In case you haven't noticed this is a boots thread and it offers advice regarding boots discounts and products in a friendly and understandable manner but we still abide by the rules so there is no need to report.
    you are welcome here to share information as long as you bear that in mind!

    After Last week not being a "Happy Bunny" for missing out on No 7 500 points on acm - i am now a "HAPPY BUNNY!" :j :cheesy:

    Popped into small local Mid Sx branch and casually mentioned to a cosmetics SA that I must be a rare case as P&P has given me spots and need something to get rid of the spots and blemishes this has caused. She was horrified and said to either bring it back for a refund or call CS. She then very kindly walked around the shop with me recomended solutions to my problem, which I purchased with pigsback voucher :T

    Secondly I purchased 2 Max Factor Items for £15 and thought i would automatically get the 500 points that are currently on offer. Didnt get them so she said call CS about it.


    I did! And I got 500 points for the P&P and also advised to return it for a refund and to fill in a form stating the effects it had on me. :T

    And

    500 points added for Max Factor as he said i should have got them. :T


    Split above purchases - got two vouchers and a colleague just gave me another ! :rotfl: :rotfl:

    Having a good day indeed :j :D

    xx

    I got an awful reaction off Botanics stuff, i complained to customer services, got 1000points and a £20 voucher ! DO IT DO IT DO IT! :T (hope your spots go away!)

    Morning all - I watched 'How to look good naked' last night - they were testing 'Micro-dermabrasion' creams which included Boots No 7 Microdermabrasion (I have this but haven't used it yet)
    RESULTS:-
    The four products tested were:
    No 7 Microdermabrasion (£10.00)
    Lancome (£46.00)
    Philosophy Greatest Love (£20.00)
    Renew You Micro-Dermabrasion Face Masque (£1.49)
    Lancome (£46.00) was the best performing product in this category. This scored 68 points out of a possible 100 points.
    2nd: Philosophy Greatest Love – 64/100
    3rd: No 7 Microdermabrasion – 60/100
    HTH XX
    Well if tis between £10 versus £46 I would take the £10 product for the sake of a score of 8 points ! I love the no7 one and im a fussy moo- its better than the estee lauder one which costs three times as much. I havent heard a bad report about it .So I think I would just save £ 36 !!!

    all my 'pregnancy' vouchers have turned up today, its great, i cnat believe there are so many of them, and of the health care ones. all i have to do is wait for my new card to turn up!

    i sent an e-mail to boots over a week ago and they have just got back to me, my local store doesnt have a ac machine so i cant collect my points easily, so the are going to send out a coupon for me with the on-line points balance on so i can go and get it scanned in store, Bonus!!! again just have to wait for my new card.

    ps, loving the bojorious nail varnish,

    Does the Roc GWP go through with no other Roc purchase?

    I think it can as well as Roc voucher. Yesterday I used my Roc voucher (I bought two items of Roc). However, when I checked my receipt, it was shown as 'brand coupon' and deduct £5 off the total spending (same as £3 off from Olay). So I assume that you can use the coupon with other purchase as well. The most important thing is whether you choose the right SA or not. Last weekends I tried to get the Roc GWP with my not-so-expensive Roc item. But two SAs refused to scan the GWP for me. But I finally got it yesterday with a kind young SA. :j

    Hope you will be lucky on your shopping. For mine, sometimes 'yes', but most of the time 'no'.

    Why don't you report them?

    because:

    1) the website that u recommend looks dodgy
    2) the website doesnt even have the 'company' telephone number anywhere on it. if it doesnt sound dodgy to you, it does to me.
    3) you are advising (advertising??) people to look at and to buy from a company that they would not have otherwise heard of, let alone buy from. this is different from letting others know about bargains from established companies (those that dont disappear overnight).
    4) Assuming that the website does have a telephone number, i would not be surprised call and speak to someone who....*shock* share the same first name as you.

    And, for you guys who are looking to buy cheap cosmetics, do check out the other thread on this site, which is basically dedicated to some online beauty website, which sells cosmetics for pennies, takes the money but doesnt send products. And oh,..the website also harvests credit card information.
