Boots Grabbit Bargains Part 13 - Post your finds here

Taffyscot

Well done baby on your goodies reminded me of when I was in Boots for xmas night I saw a young girl with a wee baby in a pram she didn't look very old and didn't look very rich. I hope she didnt think I was a weirdo but I went up to her and said "excuse me I have this 500 point coupon for a 10 baby spend so you can get a fiver back if you have an advantage card. She said she did have one so I said "oh and I have this parenting thing here and if you spend that money on nappies here is a voucher for a free change bag." I laughed and said "I think I am a bit too old to use it." I thought she would have been thrilled but she looked at me very suspiciously and went off to find what looked like her mum and maybe the baby's gran and pointed at me. I felt like a pervert or something. Hope I didn't offend or anything. Still I do not know if I would do it again afterwards thought I should have offered it on here. You lot just know that I am weird and will take my coupons anyway lol. Taffy

Are the Olbas tissues still 99p? The two Boots I've been to today had the normal £1.49 price up. And no Diet Coke thingies anywhere - I bet they hide them deliberately! :rolleyes:

That was really nice of you, some people just don't know how to take it when they are given something for nothing, it doesn't happen very often. Obviously I wasn't there but it could have just been the way you read her reaction. I try and pass on any vouchers I definately won't use or just leave them near the products (especially if they are money off ones). We bootsers don't just do it for ourselves do we?

Just noticed your due date, hope everything's going alright. I know you probably have but if you haven't sign up with pampers and huggies, they send moc which you can then use to get nappies and extra points at boots

On my receipt it says 99p after the 50p off voucher so looks like mine were back to full price

Just got back from 10% off night here.

spent £61.10 (£1.10 cash, the rest in Piggy vouchers)
got 2990 points!!!!!

Amongst other ordinary things I bought the underblanket and was able to use both 1000 pt vchers (mag + ACM) + £1 wys £4 healthcare vchr in addition to the 10% off .
Ruby and Millie Metallics £18 - £1.80= £16.20 + 500 pts
Olbas tissues are back to full price here, so they now have them back on the shelves :rolleyes:
Also had a '350 pts wys ??' ACM vchr

SA just scanned everything as the place was manic. If I had spent £75 would have had a goody bag, but that would be just greedy and OH would have cried.

pingua

The 200 points wys £10 on baby stuff, is that after bogof or before??

Do you have to put £10 of goods into basket then after bogof it will be £5 and 200 points

OR

Do you have to put £20 in in basket then after bogof it would be £10 and 200 points?

Does that make sense??

And does anyone know hoe it works in store??
If I have a 500 points wys £10 on baby stuff can I get away with bogof stuff therefore a £5 spend really??
