    How do you get the vouchers?

    spend £5 instore, on anything. So if I want a voucher I usually buy my shampoo, conditioner, deodorant, bubble bath, disposable razors, shaving gel, all that stuff, either the Boots essentials range or the bogof/half price products, this means I'm not paying over the odds for any of it and I get the money off vouchers (and boots points) too. Split it into shops of £5 each to get a voucher for each £5 shop.

    If you have a Boots card, check the acm machines in the stores before you shop too - I regularly get 25% off deodorants/dental/shampoo and 10% off bubble bath etc in them, and I use them when I'm stocking up on toiletries as well.

    Thank you! I'll try it tomorrow. From what I gathered, it would work with 2 make up items + 1 skincare? So I could get 1 mascara, 1 BB cream or bronzer and 1 moisturiser...am I right? Sorry for the questions...

    I have just been to boots today and gave my No7 voucher to a lady who was purchasing the moisturiser £12.95, she was over the moon as it meant she could spend the savings on something extra for a birthday gift :)

    Is the bb cream better than the no7 tinted moisturiser as I am thinking of trying them instead of wearing foundation everyday.

    no unfortunately I tried that today and the 342 didn't work, but you could get the mascara and BB cream.

    the 342 and bogohp works with the BB cream, plus bronzer, plus moisturiser (moisturiser as the cheapest item of the 3).

    Which of your 3 items, mascara, bb cream/bronzer, or moisturiser, would be the one you'd use the least?

    It's for my mum, she really likes the mascara and one of the P&P serums. She wouldn't use the BB cream, and neither would I as I don't like them. I would use a foundation though, if that would work...I'm very confused about how this all works! lol

    me too :rotfl:. I think the tinted moisturisers might work (but I haven't tried them) on the bogohp and then the £5 and £3 off with the voucher (the mascara needs to be cheaper full price than the moisturiser though).

    I think I'll go tomorrow and try out combinations of items at the self-service till, trying to look inconspicuous...lol

    Ideally, I would like 1 mascara, 1 moisturiser and 1 foundation - but just mascara and moisturiser would be ok. We'll see what happens!

    I bought 2x No7 Triple protection tinted moisturiser(£11.50), and 1x No7 Essential Moisture face cream(£9.95) and paid only £9.25 total so seems like there might not be any need to limit yourself to the BB creams or bronzers.

    Thanks to the OP for stumbling across this and letting the rest of us know :)

    max this is from earlier in the thread - so a tinted moisturiser and a mascara at £11 or less should work on the bogohp, and would cost £9 for the lot (or only £1 for the lot if you get a cashier till No7 voucher plus a self-service till spit No7 voucher and use them in the one transaction all together when you buy the No7 items).
