Boots Grabbit Bargains Part 14 - Post your finds here

Is it just me or have the ACM's at both Deepdale and Fishergate (Preston) not been able to give any special offers for 2 weeks or so?

I have tried both stores various times and just get an error message saying that this option is unavailable at the moment!

Just to remind newbies that you can get more than one health and beauty magazine on an advantage card - don't think you are supposed to but Ive never had any problems getting them

I was also up at 8am this morning (unheard of for me), getting the baby dressed ready for a trip to Boots! Had a sleepless night, excitedly imagining trolleyfulls of bargains. Oh well, roll on the 15th!

Just got back from Boots at Westwood Cross in Thanet.
Loads of sale stuff at back of store but still only 50% off. No old H&B mags left and no new ones either!
The ACMs only had about 6 offers for me (and I tried all of them, just to make sure!) but I did manage to get the 1000 points for the electric blanket. I also had the 1000 pts from the H&B mag, so decided to get one as it was still a good deal to get 2000pts for a £30 spend.
Also picked up a packet of Olbas tissues (last on shelf!), bottle of diet coke with vits., 2 bottles of Brecon Carreg water (note- you need the 750ml size for the 50p coupon to work) and some half price toys to put aside for my son's birthday.
Total spent came to £50, but somehow managed to get 3200 pts added to card - no idea how!
Then got home to find that the post had been, and Boots mailing in box with more points vouchers, including one for 300 pts if you spend over £30. Can this be added if I take the receipt to Boots, or is it too late now? Thanks.

After reading this thread i decided to sort out my advantage card problem. Mine was damaged and i was given a temporary one to use till i got a new card through.......i never did anything about it.
Phoned up this morning and i have 655points on one and 612 on the other so i'm now waiting for my new card with all the points together and get ready for some bargains!!:T
So many thanks all you Bootsies? (is that right) This thread sounds really exciting. Looking forward to reading more and grabbing those bargains :beer:

Also hope to be able to contribute to this thread in the near future. Although some of the terms you use are slightly alien to me ie ACM or something A little to learn first i think. :rotfl:

Happy new year everyone.

Was wondering if anyone has seen any of the food lover gift sets that Boots were doing for Xmas - or maybe you got one as a present?
I was desperate for a couple of them but my Mum and husband both said they couldn't obtain them anywhere - have been searching the sales too in southend area and nothing. One was a creme brulee set, there was a fajita set and a spices set.........has anyone seen them at all - nothing on the boots website either.........thanks in advance

Just got back from Boots in search of No7 reduced items. There were a few on a low shelf with all the other No7 products, lipsticks, lip pallettes, eyeshadow pallettes and a few other bits all reduced to £4 each. The No7 SA told me these were also on the 3 4 2 offer (but she said she had to put them through manually) so I got a few bits then went to get a mag and a free high lights, No7 lady told me the free high lights didn't work with the 3 4 2 offer or the reduced items. But I thought I'd try it anyway, put 2 of the reduced items back as I only really wanted 1 so total of £4.

Also got a few other bits, FCUK deoderant with £2 off voucher, tresemme half price, then went to the normal SA. Gave her my card and vouchers 1st and then the products and all went through fine. So got a £4 No 7 eyeshadow pallette and high lights free (worth £10.50), also managed to use 250pts voucher on No 7 (free with last GWP). So effectively only cost £1.50 for both! Really please that I've successfully used my 1st 'glitch'!

Also got the free £5 voucher, so went back and got some Boots Time Delay wipes which ended up being free.

Thanks to all who post the offers and glitches!
