    BEAUTY bogof:

    Dove Summer Glow body lotion 250 ml
    Normal/Fair £4.98 Norm/Dark £3.00............glitch?

    Fantastic list, thank you!

    I noticed this difference in price between the two shades of Dove lotion while I was in there yesterday, I wondered if it was just a mislabel but obviously not! So glad I didn't buy this at full price yesterday like I was tempted to :p I wonder why there is such a difference between the two. Trust me to need the more expensive shade though :rolleyes:

    Oh and something you might have missed, on .com the few McAdam professional haircare things they have listed say BOGOF, so hopefully the whole range instore will be also :)

    Did my last 2 H&B shops before the offers change tomorrow!

    Got 4 Lynx shower
    and 3 reduced Original source shower gels

    2nd shop
    3 x john frieda

    Used SB,HB and quit along with MOC to get all for pennies :j

    I got muddled with coupons so could have done better,I need to write lists next time I think!

    How does everyone sort out their coupons:confused:

    My brain seems to stop functioning once through the doors of Tescos!

    I thought I was going to be stopped for loitering by the checkouts waiting on my fave SA having a short queue.

    I won't be back till Thursday so must study the thread and make lists for the new offers.



    Saw the new offers being set up on the ends of the aisles.There were plastic label holders on the shelves waiting on the BOGOF/offer signs going up!

    I use small white envelopes and on them list all the h and B and also healthcare I am going to buy plus also the extra bits of shopping to add to the total. inside the envelope goes all the correct coupons. I have an envelope for each shop so I dont get muddled.

    In my bag is a section where I keep a few emergency coupons which I give the till girl if one of my envelope coupons wont scan or I've spent more than I should have.

    Finally after the coupons have been deducted I hang over my payment card and any point coupons I have. I hand them in last incase I get a difficult till girl who hates scanning

    Thanks MHOC and rachie B

    I am so glad I am not the only one:rotfl:

    I will try to be more organised by Thursday,I will get a list from here and pick out the coupons required before I go.

    I am also aware that some SAs only take 1 of each coupon so I don't like to use too many.
    I have one fave SA who seems to scan anything so I will try to be braver.He paused over a MOC today (I hadn't bought the item) I panicked but he just said "do you not have to fill in your details?" Not usually I said,so he scanned it saying that it didn't actually say on coupon that it must be filled in.Whew!

    Just have to decide what I fancy from the new offers.:rolleyes:


    .........off to sort out coupons..................

    Yay!!! Finally did my HB shop (s)

    Found an SA who I couldn't remember if I'd used her before or not, so tried anyway......

    I had a Free sunny d voucher (placed the sunny d at the beginning of my shopping for ease!), and then my usual HB and other MOC so I said casually,oooh I hope you don't mind, I have a few vouchers to use, but don't worry I've purchased most things, she said, oh that's fine, and said " You don't have to split the shopping, you can hand it all in"!! I declined though as I wanted to use both my and my OH's card.

    So did my bits and pieces and got:

    2 x Dove body lotion BOGOF £3.24
    2 x Adidas deodorant BOGOF £2.28
    = £5.52
    Used 1 x £2.50, 1 £1 HB, 2 x £1.25 QK = £6.00 :D

    I also used a few MOC and brought my shopping down from £18.35 to £8.96

    I did this again, with more MOC bringing my shopping down from £14.47 to £7.47.

    Very happy!! Thing is, I asked a manager looking lady what the voucher policy was, and she was just so cold and horrible, saying "Well what do you mean? You only use vouchers for things you've brought" and then just stomped off! I thought "s*d you I'll just ask the SA!" Lucky I did.

    The SA was complaining about how boring it was when the store was dead, so I told her I'd be popping in and giving her lots of work with my vouchers! LOL.

    A bit annoyed as I had a 30 point kipling voucher to hand in but forgot!!

    Also generated 3 till spits, 2 great (100 points on el paso and 200 points on beauty and toiletries!) and one not so good 150 points on kids lunch boxes.

    Will do a healthcare shop tomorrow :D Can anyone confirm the durex play stuff is ALL on BOGOF as only the 'heat' was labelled as BOGOF today.

    Thanks!

    have checked the McAdam on .com and the only one showing as BOGOF is the brunette hazelnut chesnut shampoo (what a mouthful!).
    Am tempted to think that it's possible this is due to a change in packaging/new range & they need to shift excess stock.

    If someone would be kind enough to check instore tomorrow that this is the case (only the 1 being BOGOF) then i will put a note/edit the post accordingly.

    Fankee.....:)

    I am nowhere near as organised as Mhoc, I wish!

    My trouble is I never know what might take my fancy once I am in there, it changes every time so a shopping list isn't any good for me.

    I have become a little bit more organised of late though as am fed up of scrambling through my voucher purse to find the largest moc so now I sort them out beforehand and put one of each that I have into a little pile and paperclip it, this way I can just hand the pile over and no nonsense about duplicates because there is only on of each in the pile.

    I also paperclip sets of Hb which includes a £2.50hb, £1hb (x2) £1.25 quit (x2) 2x 40p Colgate and 2x 70p Showergel. If I forget to get toothpaste I can just pull them out of the pile and if the showergel has gone (the cheapy 13p stuff), I can pull them out also.

    it works for me at the moment but wish I could be more organised sometimes!
