    Btw -woolworths customer support department was no help when i aclled this morning so have written to head office by recorded delivery.If they don't help then will seek legal advice.

    sorry to hear that sonee. You are right to seek legal advice if head office don't take this seriously. Good luck! Re: Boots sale. On my way home from work today, I popped into the large store on oxford street. Hardly anything left in the sale. The SA nodded when he saw me. He was probably thinking 'not her again' LOL

    Boots have had the Fuji F20 camera reduced from 199.99 to 99.99 for a while now, although in many stores it's still marked up at the full price - but it scans at the cheaper price. There is also an ACM voucher for 1000 points with any Fuji digital camera, effectively making the camera 90 quid - about as good a price as you'll get anywhere. I bought one for my mum and was so impressed I went to a different Boots store to get another, as the ACM was still giving out the 1000 points vouchers.

    There, they also had an offer of any Fuji branded memory card half price when you buy any Fuji camera. The 1Gb card was marked as a fiver off at about 30 quid, and the till halved the price THEN took off the fiver, PLUS there was an ACM voucher for 500 points on any memory card, so the card effectively cost me a fiver! :T

    Hi, my mum went to Boots this morning and was told that the red sticker price is now the right price its not half price again, when she pointed out that they still had signs up saying half stickered price they started to take them down. Anyone else been told that its changed. She's phoning CS to find out whats going on and I'll update when she lets me know.

    I was told this at 4 different Boots too - let us know what happens... I might call CS for some refunds :D

    Found this by chance, as only 2 products were marked 75% off and were out of stock.
    But did a price check on the Stepper which had an sel of £34.99, and it rung through the till at £8.74!
    Others we got were -
    Punch Ball and Gloves - sel £24.99 rang through £6.24
    Gym Ball - Sel £8.99 rang through £2.24
    Wrist and Ankle Weights - Sel £6.99 rang through £1.74
    Thigh toner - Sel £4.99 rang through £1.24
    Yoga Kit including Mat - Sel £14.99 rang through £2.99!

    These products all had a sel of the full price - so there may still be loads out there, just get a price check.

    Saw saintscouple post this afternoon so decided to hit the Southampton Above Bar Street for some Bootsing at lunch time.

    Managed to get the following:
    Boots Pilates Set - clearance sticker £10 rang through at £10 still
    Pilates DVD - clearance sticker £4.49 rang through at £1.14
    Gaiam Power Breathe Fitness - clearance sticker £25 rang through at £5 !!! this was the only one left on the shelf as I would off gone back & got another. Normally retails at £50 so pleased with that one. :j

    Visited London on Saturday and picked up a Camera Bag in Picadilly Circus branch Digits Crisp E red bag. £6.25 (sticker underneath that one says £12.50) pleased as the Camera Bags in Southampton were still £9.99 for an even smaller one than the one I managed to get.

    Gutted I didn't pick up a bargain I saw in the Jubilee Place Canary Wharf branch of Boots. They had a Boots Baby Electric Sterilizer reduced to £17.50 (Same one on boots.com is reduced to £32.99) said to DH, I'm not pregnant yet so no point getting incase I don't fall pregnant. But inhind sight I should of got & could of easily returned it to another store. Now realizing that not all Boots stores have the same offers I'm unlikely to find the same bargain down here.

    Hope someone can help with my query. Does anyone know any stores in Scotland that sell carseats got £108 worth of points and lo is nearly out of her current one (will have to stop feeding her).
    Also can you still get the 2 disposable cameras bogof/free with the parenting voucher. Lady on the photo counter made me feel like I was picking her own pocket for trying it. Thanks in advance.
    Booo!!!

    I got my .com order today and have just opened it...

    I am quite chuffed as i bought some slim fast RTD milkshakes that were 50% off, x 6 strawberry @ £2.58 plus 100pts... so i bought two lots. They were in the cans on .com. It cost me £5.16 for 12 and got back 200 points so technically £3.16 :)

    http://www.boots.com/shop/product_details.jsp?productid=1070124&classificationid=1038278

    When they have arrived they have sent me the new milkshakes in the bottles which are £6.66 with 200 pts. so if i bought two of these it would have cost me £12.12 with 400pts back, so £8.12 - yay I got a good deal.

    So i'm chuffed.
  • Popped into boots today and the SA was just putting out some VERY cheap toys and bits. Boxed sets of Boots own Brand Hama Style Beads - 67p, Glitter Babes game - £1.31, Ladies Tights 50p, Baby Learning through Play Stacking Elephant Soft toy thing £2.00. That's party pressies for the next year sorted! :D
