    That's a bit of a broad question (given how much stuff you can buy in Boots and all the offers on!). What do you need to buy and who are you buying for?

    Hiya, In the sale I will buy items which I can eBay or use as gifts for people. When there are offers, I will only buy what I need or will use when there is a good offer. I have accumulated over £100 on my card in 10 months. For example when it was "Buy 2 sanctuary items, get the bag free" I use sanctuary stuff so spent £9 out and got the free bag rather than buying stuff when it wasn't on offer if you see what I mean.

    I got 4 100pt vouchers on johnsons - I use this all the time, so bought 4 and now have a stock so won't buy them again until they are on an offer etc.

    I am intrigued as to how much I've spent in Boots. But I'd say 90% of the stuff I've bought I needed/given to someone/eBayed.

    Sometimes - like last weekend, I was spending £6.99 so decided to spend the extra £3.01 on stuff I use and buy anyway (eg. Vaseline, cotton wool etc) so that I could get a £5 voucher.

    Boys and Girls of the Boots Thread...

    I have a £5 voucher off no7. ruby+millie etc. Had a look on post 1 but couldn't see the best ways to spend it. Was going to get thr 360 mascara as it had the free gift, but wouldn't use the mascara so decided it wasnt worth the £5.50 spend. Any ideas how best to use it with min. spend?


    Some Botanics stuff and nice notebooks reduced in Birkenhead on Sat but not major enough reductions to buy - but might help someone!

  • if you need any new make up pencils no7 have the eye pencil and eye brow pencil for 3.37 each you could buy 3 of these as they are are 3 for 2 and then so it would only cost you 6.74 then you could you your 5.00 off voucher and only pay 1.74 bargain for 3 make up pencils if you need them.

    i used my voucher and i got the 360 mascara and also bought 2 No.7 eyeliner pencils at 6.75 each which will do for my daughters gift basket that i make every christmas full of stuff from boots!I got the free gift with the mascara and one of the pencils for free as they are all on 3 4 2.
    Total price=£12.25 for 2 No 7 eyeliner pencils, 360 mascara and the free gift.

    This wouldn't work as eye pencils are more expensive in store. Only £3.37 online

    Hi ladies (and lads!),

    Been out of the Boots-loop since I started uni so sorry if this has been answered elsewhere, I've had a look but I couldn't see anything.

    Saw an advert on the front of a magazine today (think it was Cosmopolitan) for a free Clinique bag inside, and it also said something like "Plus £££'s off Clinique" or words to that effect. Does anybody know what this is about, does it have a voucher inside?

    Thanks :)

    No voucher unfortunately, but a free gift when you buy two Clinique items in Debenhams between 11-27th Oct, and an offer for a consultation at the Debenhams counter.

    The free make-up bag is very nice though - good quality for a freebie.

    Also, men can get a free duo sample at any Clinique counter in October when they buy any Skin Supplies for Men item.

    Ahh, think I will give it a miss then. A make-up bag is the last thing I need, I'm still finding homes for all my Roc bags :p Thanks very much!
