Not sure if anyone can help, but I am off to East Croydon tomorrow - is there a Boots anywhere near the big pedestrian bit with Debenhams/Primark/Alders etc?

Have a couple of hours child free time in that area and I know where that bit is bit cant remember seing a Boots.

Assuming there is - has it got an ATM (not that they ever work!)?

Dont want much do I!

Just tried online for P&P and its all gone - didnt checkout in time:mad:

Thanks.

There is a large Boots in the Whitgift Shopping Centre (various entrances via the pedestrian area, Boots is on level one in the M&S Court area, this store has a few machines) and a smaller one in the Centrale Shopping Centre (also accessed via pedestrian area, not sure if it has a machine??)

Hope that helps, and hope you find some good bargains!!!

ochayethenoo - if I remember rightly are you in aberdeen? Where did you get the ROC GWP? I have been looking for it in both Garthdee and Bon Accord and have yet to get one!

Yes well remembered I am from Aberdeen, in the bon accord store the roc gwp are on a stand to the left of the ROC product area, just opposite the new origins counter/area. Yesterday there were about 7 left but best not to go to the no7 counter as they are suss on it as they made me put mine back coz i hadn't bot a roc product, grr. Oh well got one last week, bot it at the upstairs till by the sandwiches no probs.

I have not yet been to the garthdee store yet.

I am away on hols for two weeks on Wed but let me know how you get on

want to say thanks again to saintscouple!!! just been to boots and got my memory cards.

ac voucher for 500 points when you buy any memory card was there for me!

so got 2 x 128mb @ £3 each + 1000 extra points! double bonus was that I paid for them with my voucher from my piggy points!

great for my 3 week holiday to china, will mean chopping and changing my memory cards while Im away but also means if the unfortunate should happen and I lose a bag or something (or heaven forbin my camera) I wont have lost all my photos!

Hi there - I too had the voucher in the AC machine today for 500pts when buying a memory card so printed off two, then the option to print disappeared. But all the memory cards, at the very back of my store, are on display for normal price. Were the £3 ones Boots' own brand? With reduced stickers on? Everything I saw was £9.99 or more. I wonder if they would scan for less or if you were just lucky in your branch... :cool:

I settled in the end for some reduced Lindt chocs, the 70% dark Lindor balls, a small box is now 65p instead of £1.29, so bought a few of them with my points, mmmmmmmmmm. I think they were getting close to their date (30/6), the red boxes were still full price. HTHS .

Went into Boots with my parenting vouchers (and my sisters ones-as she says she wont use them)

It was a case of trial and error! In my basket was :
the roc gwp
2x disposable cameras @ 8.99 bogof
No7 glossy locks hair spritz @5.50
One bday card

Vouchers:
1 x £5 off no7 item
1 x free disposable camera

Tried at the sandwich till and it all went thro apart from till wouldn't accept the no7 voucher?! SA queried roc gwp going thro free and asked if it was a sample, i agreed, no probs. However she went to find someone to ask why the no7 voucher wasnt working and came bck to say it was because it had to be spent on make up from no7. It didn't say that on the voucher and i knew she was wrong as i had okayed it first at the no7 desk to check.

I got the impression she couldn't be bothered with it all so sent me to no7 till downstairs, to which the SA noticed the ROC bag going thro free and that i hadn't bought an item so put it back on shelf and rang thro my glossy spritz twice! Even after me pointing it out she tried to tell me that it was £11 per bottle! so i pointed out the shelf label, even tho on the receipt it had £5.50 per bottle, and she took one off. I think she was just bamboozled at the cheapness of my sale.

I went back ten mins later to another desk with another two disp cameras and my sisters parenting free camera voucher so didn't pay anything, SA was pleased for me

Oh well, no ROC gwp but plenty of cameras now for holidays and my glossy spritz spray(these are half price online), one sleep to go!

WOnder if I will be dreaming Boots!! How addictive is this!

p.s plenty of P+P instore

£5 parenting voucher (No7) is only valid on cosmetics or skincare, I have been told this by CS & in a roundabout way it DOES say this on the voucher, I have never been able to use this on the Glossy Spritz.

What's this about a Paypal code? I used Paypal for both my orders over the last 2 weeks & had nothing.

£123 for P&P. There's loads in Selby if anyone lives near there.... wish I'd bought some now and eBayed it. That's crazy...

my local boots doesnt have an ac machine, so i e-mailed cs and they have now sent me through all of my outstanding points balance in vouchers to have added on to my card, pleased bout that, not pleased i still cant get the coupons from machine, so miss out on a lot of offers.

I have printed off coupons from the machine in our nearest town and then used them in our little local town which does not have a machine. So now whenever I am in a Boots with a working machine I print off several copies of everything to carry around with me. You never know when a particular item might appear on a clearnace shelf. I keep seeing mens toiletries on clerance shelves in the little local store and yesterday I got a 100 points voucher for buying 3 mens and they are on 342.

The total spend coupons are only valid on the day but the others seem to have a longer date. The ones I printed yesterday are valid for a week.

I have four cards, for myself, m-i-l and daughter and sometimes the offers are different. The vouchers have the same surname but different first names on them but I have never been asked about this. The girls dont seem to check the name and signature on the card match the name on the voucher. Mind you I have my story ready if I am asked.

I always add Boots coupons to my swap list - just about to update it on the coupon swap list and born to shop so look out for my list under mhoc s swaps.

Just had a thought, I think I will also print off the 342 and BOGOF items from the machine to keep with me incase I see anything on the clearance shelf.

Ooo lucky thing!! Better hurry up and eat them all before they expire... i'm sure i read somewhere *cough cough* that chocs explode at midnight on the day of expiry. don't want to risk the clear up, so eat them now!
