    I did my first proper in-store Bootsing today. Grrr, remind me never to take my OH again, talk about whinging!

    Anyway, I checked the ACM first and printed out a 350 points on £40 spend voucher, a 500 points on £20 No 7 voucher, two 500 points on memory cards vouchers, and the 100 points on frames voucher.

    First stop was the No 7 counter. They only had 2 bottles of p+p out and were guarding them with their lives, I picked up one and asked if I could have more than one per customer, she said no not unless she put them through seperately in which case I couldn't get 3 for 2. So I said ok I'll just have 1 thanks, picked up the cheapest other thing there which was some face wipes, then walked off. They had a load of p+p elsewhere in the store so i grabbed a second. Went back to No 7 counter and they had loads of what looked like GWP's out, so I asked how much they were and she said free if you spend, so grabbed one of those into my basket too. Went off to look for Jemma Kidd nail files but they didn't have any, they didn't have any reduced memory cards nor the £1 photo frames.

    Grabbed a couple of other things, fathers day card and some Bach Rescue Remedy that I had the 1/2 price voucher for. I saw they had some ROC boxes that said promotional gift on them but there were some big printed out displays there saying you had to purchase one of three things to get one, so I chickened out of that. Went and paid at the chemist's till, was expecting the No 7 to not go through but it did :D I was a bit annoyed with myself after cos I should have got something more expensive than those wipes as my free thing, but nevermind, live and learn. Made myself 1000 points anyway :)

    Chuffed aswell cos I called into Superdrug and they have Elizabeth Arden 8 hour cream 50ml for £9.99 at the moment, good price for that :)

    I used my £2 boujoris voucher and the £2 make up voucher today to get the nail varnish with the 150 extra points. The SA commented on what a good bargain I got.... and I'd have to agree!! :D

  • Good for you!

    My pigsback is most definetly saying 1 point per pound - honest!!!!

    I notice sometimes mine says 1 point per pound, but if I type boots in the shopping search bar it comes up as 5 per pound :confused:
    finally debt free and want to keep it that way!!

    Even though it says one P+P per customer on the Boots website, it lets me add 3 to my basket. Would it refuse the transaction if I tried to checkout with 3 in there? :confused:
