Boots Grabbit Bargains Thread part 11 - post your finds here

Pink_butterfly_3

Got some great Bargains in the Gloucester Boots today! They've added some new lines in the clearance section and they had loads of make-up brushes etc.

The best bit was, they had some Jemma Kidd Make-up school stuff. So I got some eye make-up brushes (£2) and a nail file (50p) and when it went through the till it gave me 500 points for buying two JK items!! I then went back to the clearance section and got two more nail files (50p each) and got another 500 points! Bargain!

Also got a pilates mat, reduced from £10 to 99p. Two cot bed fitted sheets reduced to £4.

Hi there - this is my first post as I've only just registered today. Have only started reading here last week even though I've been getting MSE's emails for a while. I do feel hard done by though as my nearest ACM is 45 miles away and I have to admit that I have never used it as I wasn't aware that it gave out all these super vouchers.

If anyone has a No7 £7.00 voucher and an Oral B 2000 point voucher going spare can you contact me. I'm dying to try P+P and to get the £7.00 off it would be great and I'm also in need of a new toothbrush.

Thanks a lot.

Hi :wave:

Just to let you know, in Boots' own Time Delay range, which you can use with the current £5 off skincare voucher (which you get for spending £5) they have a serum called 'Wrinkle Reducing Night Serum' which has the same ingredients as P&P (it includes 2 more too, but one is perfume) this is £10, so if you don't need the moisturiser which you have to buy to use the £7 voucher it might be worth getting that instead.

Especially if you need to buy anything else to the value of £5 from there too, then you can get a voucher and go back and get the Time Delay.

I got it with one my my vouchers and I would recommend it, it feels the same as P&P on the skin and is nice and light.

Can you use advantage machine vouchers on a different day now?

Some of them you can, I think most apart from total spend vouchers can be used on different days. If you print them out it usually tells you on them, although I've seen someone say before (sorry, I can't remember who ) that although their voucher said expiry and then a date, they said it was only valid on that day. I've never had that problem though, so I think it's probably certain SA's that aren't sure.

Glad you got a refund, although I didn't expect them to say no, and an apology! Hope CS can work out what bloke it was that told you and sort him out! (and force him to use it as a test to see if it's ok!!!)

Ok I thought I would try this afternoon and got an Olay hand cream for just under a fiver but the 500 points coupon would not scan - yes I was hoping to also use the £5 skin voucher as well.
Has anyone actually used their 500 points voucher successfully and if so what did they get?
Mary

I think that voucher has to have the points added on manually whatever you buy. I've yet to use mine yet but will let you know if it works on something.
