Boots Grabbit Bargains Part 13 - Post your finds here

BargainMad_3

Everything that goes in the sale "loses" its 3 for 2 status when it goes down to half price. So the green stickers no longer apply (No 7 might be an exception here as there is a 3 for 2 No 7 promo coming up).

However I have worked out that some of my purchases in the xmas shopping events with extra points and on 3 for 2 were a BETTER bargain than with 50% off !

It's only when we start to get to 75% off and (dare I say it) 90% off that things get to be even cheaper. :T

I can confirm from my source that the 50% starts on Boxing day in store. If he is wrong, dont blame the messenger!!

Incase this is of interest to anyone.....
I was in Boots in Donegal Place BELFAST today (well 17/12/07)
I took 2 X Urban Decay gift sets ('Shattered' & 'Midnight cowboy') priced at £18 each to the till.
I handed over my personalised, 'double points' coupon (valid till 24/12/07) which can be used twice,and was charged £16 ( yes ...£16 ?!?!?)
The SA looked a bit shocked and double checked that both sets had scanned (which they did), then put my bargains into a bag and that was it !
The only additional info on the receipt quotes:-
'INCENTIVE BOND......20' and
'offer points....500'(for buying any 2 Urban Decay products over a certain amt)

Incidently,on my way out of the store I saw more stuff I wanted which involved a £25 purchase so I once again produced my 'double points' voucher.When the transaction was complete, the SA handed me back my double points voucher and pointed out that I could still use it once more (?!?!) before 24 Dec....this info was quite clearly printed on my receipt.
Now as I look at the first receipt -for the Urban Decay purchases -there's no mention of double points!!!!!.........but I'm a happy bunny.:D

This "glitch" won't be happening again as some very unsubtle MSEer asked the sales manager in this store "I hear youre giving £20 off vouchers....." They then explained where they got this idea from (this forum) which caused the Manager to then visit this site and promptly phone head office to ensure this doesn't happen again.

I don't know, but I bought three items on the two for three offer yesterday and they seem to be still full price online, so maybe its just certain items. Perhaps you could take them back in store and buy them straight back? I've ordered some things from M&S online but wanted to use my gift vouchers - they told me to take the goods into store when they arrive and do a refund and then buy them straight back with gift vouchers.

I did this during the summer with a Wii. They were online only for which you can't use points. I went to my local very small boots who agreed to allowing me to do this. Bought it online, returned it to the store and they resold it to me immediately with boots points.

Very nice of them to do it. Now I want a camcorder, wonder if they'll do it again![/quote]

I tried this with an iPod (I also asked instore before I did it). But it wouldn't work because the item wasn't stocked instore. Once they'd given me my refund on to my card, they couldn't re-scan the item. So, not only could I not buy it with points, but I couldn't buy it back with my card either!!! Very annoying indeed.
