    I dont know if this has been mentioned before

    I have loads of the £5 fragrance vouchers so i went to boots today to see what i could use them on.

    Found the Davidoff Cool Water GAME Frangrance 30 ml (theres one for men and another for women). It is on offer at £13.00 (normally £19.50) so with the voucher i got it for £8.00. Will make a good Christmas present.

    Dont know how to get a pic on but theres the link on boots.com
    http://www.boots.com/shop/product_details.jsp?productid=1069452&classificationid=1040665

    There was also voucher for 50 extra points on £7.50 spend in the pink machine so got 50p back through that.

    I did this one and the Boss bottled 30 ml for men, costs £19 and becomes £14, which was a very nice price (I did a lot of comparisons online before buying it and they came up slightly higher than this).

    NOTE: if you really like Game, the perfume shop are doing 100ml for £19.99. I prefer to buy small bottles, as long as the price per 100ml is not too high... In this case, if you buy 3x30ml=90ml you end up paying £24, or equivalently 26.7£ per 100 ml. But then, buying at Boots is so much fun ;) I'm really hooked on bootsing.

    Hi, not sure if this has been mentioned further back. Picked up the new Christmas Gift Guide in Boots Glasgow St Enoch yesterday (was on a shopping weekend, hotel paid with Tesco CC!).

    It has a picture of the new No 7 GWP, available 7th November. Got to spend £18 as usual. It is a blue clutch bag with, Total Renewal, P&P, the new P&P Body Serum, Age Rewind Night Cream, Lip Gloss, Eye shadow and mascara.
    new coupon out on 10/10
    not sure of total spend required or if it includes all no7 or just cosmetics
    will post if i find out

    I wonder if the timings for te GWP and the money-off voucher will coincide!!! :D

    ps: I'm now a "money saving stalwart" - I had to look it up. Aren't these new categories?
    1. One who is physically and morally strong.
    2. One who steadfastly supports an organization or cause

    Oh, dear... I need to stop "steadfastly" supporting my boots vice...

    The new voucher comes out the same day that the GWP comes out for the 360 mascara so that would take it down to £6.00 according to the online price. It would not surprise me if the voucher ended on the day before the November GWP.

    Has anyone noticed the new barcodes on the bottom of the receipt?
    Sa today said they are to make it easier to take off all the points when you take something back as too many people are getting refunds but keeping the points , particularly the promotional ones . They now have to scan the barcode as well as the item.

    :eek: GOSH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thats scandalous!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:eek:

    Well today I tried 3 stupid pink acm's and none working!
    What is the point in putting them in if they are not working!
    I just don't get it! I have £27 worth of points pending and i can't get at em!!!!! Very frustrating!
    My friend is organising a charity event for cancer and Im donating a toiletries basket with all boots freebies, and Im even going to pop in my Pigsback voucher, it was FREE after all!!! Feel a bit of a cheapskate but I will be going along on the night and helping out as well!
