    Thanks so much! I'd just finished the SuDoku and was about to throw away my Metro! Will be using that this weekend, might even going into someone's Christmas hamper.
    Thank You :j

    hOW BIG IS THE CLARINS MOISTURIZER AND HOW MUCH IS THE MAG?
    THANKS

    Hi,

    Concerning Cosmopolitan I was just looking at the magazine threads to see if I could quote the correct post, but could not find it, so here is by heart: the magazine costs £2 according to the person who posted (I saw cosmopolitan June for £3.x0 when I went to buy Zest... so am not sure of this), the clarins offer is 15 ml.

    The Zest, June, costs £3.20 (I'm looking at it) and the biotherm moisturizer is 200 ml, so quite worth the buy. The magazine is quite nice also.

    HTH

    edit: from the mag thread: http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.html?t=455046
    Cosmopolitan, July 2007, £2 *Thanks to MSE Martin
    Page 213 - offer of a free 15ml Clarins Quenching Hydra Care Lotion SPF15 moisturiser worth £8.50. Simply tear out page 213 and take into your local Clarins counter.

    Oh, and in my Boots shop today I picked up a Parenting Club booklet by the counter in the baby section, it has a handy list of what you get if you register with the Parenting Club and your children are certain ages (or pregnancy is certain stages).

    Might be helpful to someone (250 points automatically if your child is between 3months and 24 months!)

    click here for the pic of the page

    Thanks for this, and for letting us know about the metro offer (clicked your thanks button 3 times but my laptop is playing up again and brings me back to the top of the page each time I try. Smillies not wiorking either?)

    I must tell you what happened to me yesterday in the Notting hill branch. I sneaked out of work for a boots fix and spotted the maybeline unstoppable mascara was still advertised at 1/2 price. Took one to the till and it scanned at 5.99. I told the SA that was incorrect as there is a sign advertising it at 1/2 price. She agreed to let me have it at 2.99. However, when I handed over my 2.00 cosmetic voucher she said the till would not accept it. I explained I'd bought one just last week for 99p with the voucher (which is true) she started to talk really loud so the whole shop could hear our conversation. The manager came over and took down the 1/2 price sign. He said he couldn't let me have for mascara for 2.99 or 99p he said I had to pay full price for it. I told him he could not advertise something at 1/2 price and then expect customers to pay full price! In the end I said I would never go in there again because I didn't like their attitude. I'm glad I got that off my chest LOL I've been meaning to say that for a while now. That store has the worst customer service in the area. Bunch of jobsworths too!

    This is July Cosmo and it is only £2. Not sure how much it is normally, but both handbag and large sizes are both £2. Moisturiser is 15ml, and they calculate it to be worth £8.5. For £2, a read and a moisturiser isn't too bad I don't think!

    botanics time to unwind pulse point 10ml 1/2 price with instore leaflet. Also got AC machine voucher for save 1/3 on botanics aromatherapy. I wonder if the 2 would work together? I was going to try it this morning, but spent far too much time in Mr T's trying to work out which toilitries I was going to have for free today! had to dash back to my car before the nice parking attendant slapped a ticket on my car.

    I had the same problem with the Bourjois mascara at Broughton. The header card was still up advertising it for £4.99 but it went throught fro £8 odd because the offer had finished the night before. I went back and the girls took the cards down but refunded the extra money I had paid.

    I would write to Boots ( writing is better than emailing, just take a bit longer) I would also scan your receipt from the previous week if you have it and send them a print off so you have proof that the voucher worked previously

    visit this thread a lot, and was just wondering... are any of you bootsers also tesco health & beauty couponers??! you can save loads there too, sometimes getting paid to take things away or credit towards your other shoppins - and of course you get clubcard points too.

    just thought i'd let peeps know - although i'm sure most of you do!!

    I have been tescoing since about Jan and have bags full of toiletries!!!

    Think I may have a car boot too.....:T
