one of the SA's in my local store told us shoppers last weekend that the white clearance stickers were half the marked price! I had a great time

:eek:

OK then....so Tesco rules apply here

*the policy is that there is no policy*


*rubs hands together in Del-Boy fashion*:D

Don't all shout at me at once, but my first reaction was to go back cos they're really nice in that store.....then OH looked at me like I'd lost it and I snapped out of that one.:D



Is it really?? Right, my Mum isn't get that one after all. Boots manageress told me it was not the same - wish they'd make their minds up!

I know what you mean! I'd probably feel a bit guilty and want to sort it out too, to be honest, but then I don't know if I would as you don't get anything for being honest these days! It almost encourages people to be bad!

OT but the week before last I ordered an mp3 player from John Lewis, they delivered it twice (but had only charged me once, strange really since I supposedly got the last one in stock :rolleyes: ), the delivery man realised he'd delivered to me already that day so didn't give me the item (I would have been honest and told them anyway if he had, for nearly £100 I don't think I could've handled the guilt!!) as it was the same number but he asked me what it was, I told him, not really thinking about it at the time, but just afterwards I thought, hang on if he's not honest he might keep it for himself. So I rang John Lewis to explain what had happened so they knew they'd made a mistake, they didn't really seem that bothered anyway!

Back on topic...if you get a box of P&P and a box of night serum then the ingredients are the same and in the same order! The perfume is about halfway down the list and theres another one some near the middle too, but not sure what that one is.

hiya does anyone know if the acm extra points print off works with the minis on the french connection one? thanks

they don't go through automatically, SA will add points manually since the vouchers don't say they exclude the minis. I've done this twice and points have been added manually.

I have just had a great trip to Boots. They paid me 100 points to take away some more digital photographs (no cash changing hands), found some of the cheap baby wipes but the best deal was a beauty. The 12 week ROC challenge gift box set reduced from about £25 to £6.60 ish (sorry lost receipt) and inside is a £5 voucher and the SA produced another ROC GWP with a further £5 voucher inside. As I had a voucher already stashed in my purse for a good deal I only paid £1.60 ish for some great skincare and £10 vouchers. I shall be back for more on Monday.

My husband does not get any offers - in fact the machine flashes up a big noticr telling him the service is not available! this is really annoying when the next user (me!!) is able to get vouchers.

The new machine -a pink horror - is just as bad as the old one that kept breaking down, so the system obviously discriminates against some users.

His card is about 4 months old.

ME TOO!!!
I have card ...no problems. Husbands card is 6 months old, but acm always flashes up "no ofers available at this time" Ive rang CS, said to wait and would get them, told sa in store but had no idea how to rectify it!
I wonder if you only get offers once per household????

The big store in Leeds centre had all there stuff to 75% off not much left though. If any use though there was a lady putting out loads of reduced sun cream. Bit gutted cos i waited ages for the kitchen scales to go down, then was ill this week so had to keep bootsing to a minimum. doh

In my experience, no 2 stores are the same. Some stoes say everything in the sale is half the sticker price, while other stores say only the red stickered items are half the ticket price. Odd, isn't it?

Yes I would totally agree.

Was through in Glasgow getting a new passport so had to hang about for 4 hours until it was ready to be collected. Not that I was bothered as there was 2 Boots I coukd go to nearby. :T

Boots in Sauchiehall st:

Brought £2 box of chocolates for DM’s birthday using BOOTS points
Brought Dove handwash for 33p after using 50p Dove coupon
In the above store it was only 1/2 price on red label stickers - I asked. They had lots of lovely reduced jewelery and hair bobbles in there and quite a big section or reduced baby clothing.

Boots inside Buchanan Galleries had a small clearance section (unless there were others dotted about) but didn't see anything worth buying. They did have a Boots branded steriliser for £4 from memory.

Boots in Bathgate - I only looked at their tiny clearance section at the front and didn't browse the store as DH was already annoyed at me for spending too long in Tescos. This Boots had 90% off marked items inc. white stickers.

Brought 8 packs of 2 Oral B electric toothbrush heads for a grand total of 28p but used my Boots points. :j

Also used my Boots £5 skincare voucher I got yesterday on an Olay Effects hand cream.

I've been considering getting some vitamins for my daughter for a while but she's just turning 3 tomorrow - we've never used them before and im bamboozled with the choice there is!

I noticed in this months mag it shows the omega3, eye q's and multi vit's and wondered if anyone had used them and if they are still on a 3-4-2 instore... can i use the 20% off back to school vouchers with a 3-4-2 offer and take them off my points?? sorry for all the questions but i know once i get to the shop with my baby in tow i'll get confused and forget them again, lol!

lab-dab my kids are 5 and 8 and didn't like the eye q vitamins at all. They spat them out!. They have the Haliborange Omega 3 capsules which they prefer.
