    i was wondering that especially when you said you are going back to get more.

    word of advice watch you don't go over your luggage allowance with all your suncream as airports are becoming very strict about this and will charge you for it

    Found this in boots today:

    Snowman (from the film) Blanket Set (My first Christmas)
    Ticket on shelf said WAS £14.99 NOW £3.35
    Scanned at till WAS £5.00 NOW £2.50 plus additional saving of £1.67
    So price for one was 83p!!

    Now if you buy 5 the till takes the WAS £5.00 price to work out the bonus points (as metioned before in these forums) to get at total of £25 which qualifies for the spend £25 on Baby Stuff and get 500 points.

    Total to pay £4.15

    Smile and be happy, things can usually get worse!

    Well spotted. May have to try this out if our Boots has these sets. I still have a 10% off voucher too, which would bring the price even lower.

    Great spot with the Snowman sets. This could be the new Little Me! ;)

    I think the only problem is that there are not many of these around. I got one for £2.50 in the January sales, but haven't seen them since.

    Dear all,
    just went to Boots in Liverpool City Centre in my half hour lunch hour (well it felt like only half an hour.)
    Some lovely childrens OSHKOSH items in sale. As well as this they were 3 for 2.
    So spent £13.98 on items that would have cost £34 full price so rather happy.
    Then noticed Mamas and Papas toy horses head reduced from £14 to £5. Only got charged £2.50 at till. Unfortunately that was the last one at Liverpool branch.
    They also had some of the Little Me gift sets reduced to £3.50 from £15. However as my wardrobe is rather full with several sets didn't buy anymore.
    Also noticed they had loads of exercise DVD's reduced to approx £3 to £4 as well as lots of exercise equipment ie yoga sets, small weights etc reduced to half price.
    Amazing what you can do in half an hour!!!!!!!!
    Love

    In Boots yesterday I got the last 2 Ladies Fine Fragrance gift sets - the ones with Ghost etc. in it - were originally £18 but down to £6. Used my 10% voucher and got them both for £10.80 plus the £3 male grooming voucher.
    If I had known then what I know now . . .
