I tried 2 branches today and it would not scan ! Why does it work in some branches???:mad:

The No 7 wipe worked for me today again with the voucher for free highlighter. Did your wipes have a white reduction sticker on them? Just wondering if maybe they did and thats why it didnt work? But if not very odd..:(

Hi I Spent £75.17 In Boots 75% Off Today I Had Voucher For 300 Points If Spent Over £30 & Double Points So Came Out With 900 Points Plus Savings Of Around £225.00. Never Know Might Get Some 90% Off Stuff.im Hanging In There As Last Year I Got Gift Bags For 10p And Aromatherapy Soap N Holder From £5 To 50p. Really Good For Partners Ex Didnt Want Spend Much On!! Ha Ha.
I Got There 9.10 Am And None Of The Staff Were Serving They Were All Shopping Too. Apparently The Staff Room Was Jam Packed And I Could Hear Them Saying About Staff Discounts Too.
Good Tip If You Have Any Children 17 Plus Looking For Jobs You Get From 15-25% Off In Retail Stores. Including Superstores Like Asda.

Items are only group coded as "Beauty" when there isn't a code to enter into the till for it so it shouldn't appear as "beauty" on your receipt.........

I also bought a reduced N7 item and it appeared on my receipt as 'beauty', I got the high lights free, because it was before boots had fixed the glitch. The reason some SA's put the item through as 'beauty' is when there is a clearance sticker on the item. This has happened to me many times. It happened during the summer sale, when soltan was on bogof. I didn't get bogof because the SA put both items through as 'beauty'

Orlaith, I bet you had a busy day at work. I hope you managed to bag yourself some bargains:D

I've just counted up my total spend and it's 89.99! I feel terrible spending that much even though lots of it is for gifts - loads of it is for myself!! lol I couldnt help myself I just kept seeing things I liked! oops!
I have also noticed that in one store I got 2 x scents of attractions mini perfumes but they are on my reciept as half price, so £9 not £4.50...were these 75% off for everyone else? might have to ring cs tomorrow, or actually go into the store, which scared of doing incase I'm tempted to buy more stuff! eeek! sales are great - but dangerous for weak-willed greedy magpies like me!

My mum is all sorted for everyones birthdays and next christmas, will save her a tonne of money as we have a huge family and she has heaps of people to buy for at work! She was so pleased with herself! hurrah!

Mine went thru at £9 but my mum noticed on the receipt so got a refund straight away HTH

only a few left behind a till, and I asked the SA to please check the price and it was only 50% off. Since they disappeared from my local boots, I wonder if people just bought them thinking they would be 75% only to realize to late they weren't.

Still for fragrance it does not seem too bad, since the coffrets were still 1/3 off ONLY today (someone mentioned here that with valentines it makes no sense for them to discount the coffrets). Shame, or I'd be buying everyone I know a coffret in Boots for xmas 2008!!

Ah thanks for that, was just looking online and noticed they are that price on there too, although I got 4 for my mum of the darker set online this morning at 75% off so I thought thats what they should be! Guess someone made a mistake there then as also now £9 online, hope they still dispatch them!
