Little in store glitch Boots Seventeen

All Boots make-up is buy one get half price at the moment, so if you have any ACM vouchers, or vouchers that were mailed to you they might be glitching.

Here are 2 vouchers/ shops that worked for me today.

Shop 1 - With voucher for 17 Instant Glow Bronzer for £2.49 (special price with acm voucher)
17 Bronzer £5.49
17 photo finish foundation £6.49
Total spend £6.23

Shop 2- With Boots mailed voucher for No 17 eye shadow for £1 instead of normal price

17 Starry eye trio - £4.99
17 photo finish foundation £6.49
Total spend - £4.99

You don't need to buy the foundation, that was just what I needed.

    I've got a voucher for 17 Instant Glow Bronzer for £2.49, another voucher for £1 off Instant glow, and a voucher for a £1 seventeen trio eyeshadow that I want to combine with the buy one get one half price offer.
    But I can't for the life of me work out the maths to figure out how much it'll come to.
    The bronzer is £5.49, eye shaddow is £4.99

    If it glitches everything, I predict that the total will be 1p!

    I think you would need to buy 2 of 4 things to make the most of buy one get one half price, not just the 3 items :-)

    you can use both the bronzer and instant glow coupons together...so it should work as -

    instant glow bronzer £5.49
    eye shadow £4.99
    = £10.48
    - half price eye shadow (bogohp offer) £2.50
    - eye shadow coupon £3.99
    - instant glow bronzer coupon £3
    - instant glow coupon £1
    = -£0.01

    personally I'd stick a pack of chewing gum or something in so it doesnt have a negative balance :)

    Thanks Looby!
    My Maths was out by a penny, but I figured:
    Bronzer (with voucher) = £2.49
    Trio (with voucher) = £1
    - £2.48 for half price trio (as full price, it's the cheaper of the two)
    - £1 for my other Glow voucher
    so 0p!

    i think Boots tend to round up when they halve the price..so the £4.99 would minus £2.50 leaving it -1p :) i might be wrong...but might be worth having something cheap on standby just in case!

    This is a fab discount as the tub of Bronzing Powder is normally worth £5.49.

    Go to a Boots store.
    Get the May/June edition of the Boots Health and Beauty magazine. (free if you have an Advantage Card. £1 if you don't)

    On page 97 there is a full page of discount coupons.
    Take the £1 off Boots 17 Animal Print Bronzing Powder.
    Go to the Boots Advantage Card kiosk and insert your card.
    Search through your exclusive offer coupons.
    Print the one for the Boots 17 Animal Print Bronzing Powder for £2.49.
    Get your Bronzing Powder.
    When paying give both vouchers to the cashier and you will get the normally £5.49 Bronzing Powder for £1.49
