    I have found that the prices of "stuff" varies massively from store to store, according to the posts on here!

    Transaction one - 2 x 10 photos, 24 hour, small = free with voucher that expires today

    Transaction two - Various toys (75% off) that DD1 (who was with me) wanted for GD but did not have any money so paid for with points and she will reimburse = £19.00 (one way to turn points into cash?)

    Transaction three - 2 x mens Botanics micro dermabrasion kits @ £1.56 each = £3.12 + 100 points from mag

    Transaction four - (DD1 was getting annoyed by now) 6 x Hackett body wash @ 48p each 342 = 192 points
    Trevor Sorbie shampoo for long hair x 2 @ 112 points each
    meal deal @ 299 points
    2 x Sanctuary home fragrance set (xmas box) @150 points each
    Nat collection body wash = 46 points
    Essentials face wash = 29 points
    4 x Musk perfume capsules in round trays @7 points each = 28 points :eek:
    All paid for with points

    Came home and decided to go down again with DD2!

    Transaction five (a biggie for me!) - 3 more Hackett @ 48p each 342 = 96p
    2 x Johnson shower and shave + GWP
    ROC Protient Fortify reduced to £5.73
    2 x Lancome color id foundation
    Mediterranean soap = £1.24
    3 x no17 nail varnishes @ 25p each = 75p

    Got a ROC GWP AT LAST!!!!!! bit disappointing I thought....
    Also got a pink wallet thing from Lancome lady - just what I need for all my vouchers!
    Also a Lancome sample set thing with four little bottles of stuff in

    Used 750 parenting voucher (had to be added manually by supervisor ) .... DD walked away cos she said I was sticking my stomach out too much and she couldn't stand it anymore.... :A
    100 point print off voucher
    100 point WYS £15 - went through as 200!

    (Also used the last of the Mitchum vouchers in Wilkos)

    Phew!

    I also have one of these, do you think they would give you the 1000 points and the 750 instore?

    Was in Boots yesterday and the signage there seemed to imply that you have to buy 3 products all from within one brand to get 1000 points (ie 3 Clinique items) whereas online the offer can be mixed between any of them. Am I right? :confused: I was planning on getting some Clinique to get one of those free little bags they had last week but when I went in yesterday that offer has obviously ended now the 1000 points is on :rolleyes:

    When i was instore i bought a pack of blotting sheets, a pore minimiser and a eye shadow and got the extra 1000 pts but they would not give me the 750 so when i got home i called cs and they would not give me them either as i had already got the 1000 bonus. I have decided i may phone and try again as i have to phone about something i got charged full price for on sunday.

    HTH

    Hi!
    I have been a huge fan of this thread and have finally started bootsing!
    I just wanted to know whether the Tony and Guy products for curly hair are any good. I have wavy/curly hair prone to frizz but I also have the vouchers for 200 extra points.
    If anyone could advise or offer an alternative product, I would be very happy!

    When i had permed hair i use to love Umbero Ginnini Scrunching Jelly and its on offer 2 for £6 just now. I have been put off T&G ever since i found out they dont even use their own producs in their salons. :eek: This is just my opinion though.

    It ends 29/9/07.[STRIKE] I think Madjen is possibly talking about the one from the mag.[/STRIKE]
    HTH

    EDITED - Madjen has confirmed it was a voucher from the acm.

    Not a clue exactly what size "small" is, presume it's slightly smaller than regular photos, as "standard" pics were 25p each.

    Small is 6"x4", standard is 7"x5". Personally I don't think the "small" ones are small anyway, they just look like normal size photos to me!:confused:

    This 1000 extra points offer until the 14th got me thinking... :rolleyes: Clinique Bonus Time on Boots (according to Clinique site) is 9-25 August... so I wonder if we will be able to buy 3 products and get the bonus time offer + 1000 points?

    Concerning the £2 voucher valid until 29-Sep-2007, I was looking at the prices for photos online:

    6"x4" (15cmX10cm) - printed on quality gloss paper.
    1+ £0.20
    50+ £0.10
    100+ £0.07
    150+ £0.06

    But these are the oder-online-collect-in-store prices. Are they the same in store? Is it cheaper if you choose a bigger processing time (it should...). Is there any flat fee per order? Thanks!
