    Got 4 more lots of mouthwash today - back up to £40 in points thanks to boots, even though yet another sales assistant got funny about "using vouchers printed from other stores", and as soon as I mentioned customer services's words to me, she put it all through begrudingly. However No7 SA was lovely, put a set through no problem, and my last £5 skincare voucher, and even overrode it when it didn't work (foaming body wash)... only problem, open the lid - can't use it! The little spike in the lid has been broken off, and is stuck in the hole!

    What exactly did customer services say because i was not allowed to use a voucher because they said it was not fromt their branch?

    I got 48 boots basic mouthwash yesterday plus 9 last week, so does that put me in the lead?

    Is this really money saving though?! I knwo you get lots of points but you are having to pay over for far more mouthwashes than you will ever need surely?!:confused:

    In Boots today (shockaroony)! Had to get another load of mouthwash - can't beat ian duncan smith, I've only got 51 bottles! Now got over £125 on my card. SA was clearing top shelf of Sanct. as thought new offer was starting tomorrow. Any ideas what this will be?

    I haven't paid any actual cash for any of my purchases this week. Have used vouchers from Pigsback that I was going to use toward cosmetics, but have made over £75 in points this week alone. Enough to buy plenty of make-up. Just couldn't decide what to get!

    you still spent cash tho , so if you give nearly all away , you will loose out. points or not !! or am i missing something

    If you want eg hair straightners and they are £40.

    You could walk into boots with £40 cash and buy them or,

    you could go buy mouthwash at 71p on 342 with a possible 600 points each time. (This would mean buying 18 mouthwashes and getting 4000 points)

    thus only spending £9.94 cash gaining 4000 points and being able to buy the straightners and walk out of boots with lots of change, and a few years worth of mouthwash.

    today i had a seriously crappy day at boots.

    I had the mouthwash coupons which WKD lauren had kindly sent me (she sent me 2 coupons!!:D :D ). Went in to get the basic ones,..and there was only one left. There was at least 30 on the blooming shelf yesterday, and during the weekend. So i settled for the smile ones. 4 left, so i bought 3. went to till, and the MEANIE SA wouldnt let me use the voucher coz she noticed that the name on the voucher is different from the card. fine...i asked for the voucher back, so that i can use it at another store, and she wouldnt give it back to me:mad: :mad:

    then i went to the boots opposite, and they were out of basic ones. bought 3 smiles, and coupon was accepted and everything was fine. when i wanted to pay, I realised that my flipping credit card is missing. :eek: :eek: :eek: so i told the sweet girl at the counter that i will be back for the goods. RAN up and down the high street like a lunatic before it hit me that i will never be able to get the flipping card back. So i went back and had to cancel the transaction. NO MOUTHWASH, ONE BLOOMING MOUTHWASH coupon at hand, and no shopping until next week. (when the replacement card arrives). :mad: :mad:

    And, for some strange reason i just decided to go back to store one and meanie SA. took 3 fairy bags with me, and let her scan each and every one. total to pay: 0.00 hahahaha. She look dazed for a whole minute, before saying, do you want your receipt in your bag? LOL:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: well that made my day.

    but cant help feeling annoyed about the mouthwash though.

    Managed to get the No: 17 fairy bag free today :j

    Does that finish today????

    None in my store tonight....they did have the old favourite of the free brush with the wipes though.maybe that is replacing the bag, the bag is still online though...just checked. I had a good shop today...got
    6 mouthwash
    3 expert toothpaste
    3 expert flossers
    2 pooh tablets
    Sanctuary body lotion
    Paid £6.91 got 700 points and another £5 voucher. Sold the toothpaste to girls at work for £1 each, mouthwash for 50p each, flossers 50p each and kept the rest, so made a profit and got some free stuff and £7 in points!
    I also got some free eye drops that were next to the pharmacy counter. A square blue packet containing aller clear eye drops in a single use tube.

    oh,..forgot to add...i was actually in store until 8pm today. noticed the SAs walking around holding the "promotion tags".

    from tomorrow,

    1) some of the toothbrushes will be BOGOF. cant remember the brand though.
    2) the skincare stuff will be 3 for 2.Includes olay, time delay, and the other stuff. same for the shampoos, etc.
    3) heard them debating as to whether the expert range will still half price.

    Will have a look out for these, thanks.

    Quick question, today I also bought Skin Clear Deep Cleasning Lotion with a 100 point coupon I had - paid £1.99 got 100 points back. Most of the Skin Clear range was on offer at 2 for £4, if I bought 2 of these it would only cost £3.98, would any discount go off as well? Just wondering if anyone knew.

    Also I asked this question before but haven't seen an answer, if I use BOGOF Med preg range coupon can I also use the FREE Body Butter coupon & if so what's the offer in total please?
