Boots Grabbit Bargains Part 13 - Post your finds here

jillybobs

Just come back from the Trafford Centre Boots. A nice young SA said the Ruby and Millie half price offer starts on Friday. They had loads of stock in already. It does look really nice. Would never have paid £50.00 for it - but could be tempted by £25.00. Does anyone know if it will still be on 3 for 2?

I think Extra Offers Kiosk is the official name for ACM

Really?! Why call it an Extra Offers Kiosk then? That's very confusing. Especially as I didn't get half those offers posted. Does it only give you a selection of the offers? I picked the 'see all offers' button aswell. I may pop in again tomorrow to see if I'm missing something!

Hi what is so special about the Boots sale and when does it start? Thanks,Deb

It goes to 50% off which is quite good (but remember all the 3for 2 gifts at the moment, individually are reduced by 33% anyway in the 342) so if theres anything you really want and have had your eye on then the 50% sale is best to get it..

then it goes to :D:D 75% which is my favourite shopping day of the year:j:j:j. Lots of great bargains to be had, but a more limited stock than the 50% sale. usually around 20th jan

Then it gets to 90% off which can be good but often can also be the junky bits left - bit of pot luck if you get bargains, but have had some good ones in the past.

The 5 free photos, I take it I can just get the 5 and no more??

Yep you can. I did.

BTW my voucher said 3 photos at the top and 5 at the bottom, but the ACM said 5 so that's what I told the woman. :cool:

Your probably not missing anything - if you have a new card (ie. less than about 5 years old) then you dont get as many offers as ones with old cards usually. every ACM has a mind of its own tho...so worth checking just in case

Your guess is as good as mine. Probably some overpaid marketing executive thought it's a great name :rotfl:

Yeah, the offers are individually tailored (allegedly) so not everyone gets everything. That's why men's cards don't usually get offers on female stuff like tampons, unless you've bought that stuff on that card before.

No probs - not sure about 50% - is it the 27th dec can anyone confirm?

The 75% starts whenever we get word from the "inside" (ie. one of the staff tells us...or we find out from an employee) USUALLY around 20th i think

Can anyone help?

I placed an order on 1st dec, arrived on the 3rd (thought that was super thanks boots!) went to the ACM yesterday (4th) and no pending points to collect. They are however showing as pending online.

Any idea how long they take to get on the ACM?

Thanks in advance
