    :j Thank you so much - by Jove, I think I've got it!!

    I have 2 x £5 skin and 2 x £3 makeup vouchers.

    Just to be sure - what I plan to buy now is 1 tinted moisturiser, 1 bb cream and 1 mosaic bronzer and use a £5 skin and £3 makeup coupon - this should come out around £11 ish. Then I can use the remaining £3 makeup voucher to get a nail polish for £3 or two for £6 (getting BOGOHP). But that will still leave me with another £5 skin voucher unused - I guess I could get some wipes and then use that?.....

    And all of this has to be done through the self scan checkouts or otherwise the till assistants may not accept the vouchers, is that right?

    I'm a wuss when it comes to glitches and being brazen but I do so love a bargain so I'm going to give it a go!! :D

    Only the transaction in which you want to use both a £5 and a £3 voucher needs to be done at a SS till. Where using only 1 the SA won't challenge it. Good luck. :)

    Got stopped from using any coupons on self scan, by eagle eyed assistant, had to go to a manned till and sa would only accept both glossy vouchers, still got 3 tinted moisturisers for less than one, but not as good as some. No7 sa gave me a free gift though :)
    Starting to save £2 coins again, but it is a struggle:rotfl:Not doing very well keep spending them
  • What freebie did you get from No 7 If you don't mind me asking millymolly?
  • hi can someone talk me through what i need to do in order to obtain 3 bb creams. I already have the 5 and 3 voucher. Do i need to use self service?

    Hi phoebe, if you read the first post - OP got 3 BB creams for £11.42 & she gives a breakdown. She used a £5 & a £3 voucher & If you have a self service till spit too, this will give you another £8 off.

    You don't have to put your purchases through ss tills though but as it's a glitch,if you have one, you could use it in case the assistant will only take one voucher from you.

    Timing might be the cure for ratbag SAs - go during weekday lunchtime, when they don't have time to stand around watching individuals as they're too busy...

    Good luck gang...

    thats right - 3 of any of the glitchy items as follows -

    BB cream
    tinted moisturisers
    either of the bronzer pallettes
    or pots of bronzing pearls.

    Pick any 3 you like (even 3 the same if you fancy) and you get -

    first one full price
    2nd one half price
    3rd one free
    then you can use both parts of your glossy voucher to get £8 off the total once all the other discounts have been taken off.

    There are other combinations with cheaper No7 skincare, but the glitchy itmes are the easiest ones to work with :).

    Thank you thank you OP!

    Managed to get 1x bronzer palette, 1x tinted moisturiser and 1x body shimmer aftersun for the grand total of £1.25 using both glossy vouchers and an SS till spit! Super happy! :j

    And there were no SAs watching the SS tills in the big Exeter store at 9.30 this morning, luckily for me :D

    Can't believe what an amazing deal this is- huge thanks to everyone who has posted here explaining how to get it to work!

    Finally i managed to get beautifully matte foundation + BB cream all for £4.45 using both glossy voucher and ss voucher
    Very happy as drove 5 miles just to get into ss till at boots and was expecting to find SA as the last time, but no one was there so used both vouchers without a problem. Many thanks for OP :T and for all the members who helped us to find a good deal.
    See you soon with such a great glitch at boots again :j:j
