Boots Grabbit Bargains Part 14 - Post your finds here

purplestar133

Today, I bought a No7 tanning wipe for 50p in the clearance section and used the '200points when you buy a No7 item' coupon that came with the No7 colour compact in the 75% off sale.

Don't know if anyone else has tried that, I can't keep up with how fast this thread is growing!

P.s. Pretty much no bargains of interest left in the 75% sale in Sheffield now.

Can anyone give an update of the north east stores havent managed to get back to them as yet and wondering if its worth the journey? much appreciated.

Plus the bratz showergel went through full price too! CS just told her there was nothing they could do and to take it back though!

I mentioned the Bratz Shower Gel scanning at £3 Full Price on Tuesday. Thanks goodness I had quick look at my receipt once I had my hands free again when I had put my bags in the car, so I went straight back to Boots and a manager sorted it out for me. She did mumble something about having to adjust the tills, looks like this may be a national thing then.

I thought they were a bargain for 75p each, but wouldn't dream of spending £3 on them!!

Has anyone been to the Trafford Centre? I want to go on Saturday but don't want to trek all the way if no bargains left!

I'd like to know if it's worth the trip to Trafford too.

ACM are giving vouchers 250 points on Umberto Gianini shampoo and conditioners. It is £4.99 a bottle but on promotion at buy two bottles for £6.00. I bought two bottles and used 2 coupons. I spent £6.00 and recieved 500 bonus points and a skincare voucher....

Did the 2 vouchers go through in the one transaction?

I have never managed to achieve that. Always stopped by the SA or the till. Well done. But knowing my luck, it wont work for me :T

Found this about Trafford from yesterday courtesy of Annie12

Hi, went to Trafford Centre boots about 11 this morning, they kept putting out lots of new stuff. Got the accesorize hat box, a wicker hamper basket, tray with teapot etc on, a wok, lots of smellies. They put out a really nice bag, quite big, I think it was green, cream & coral in colour.......does anyone know what was in it?

:mad: My online order:mad:

Very disappointed today. I ordered 7 toys and expected to get them by yesterday. Unfortunately, 4 big parcels were arrived today, which is only one day in a week that my OH stays home while I have to be out.:eek: :eek: I don't want him to know or manage with my order at all. He has already complained about my shopaholics at Boots. Those toys are so bulky. He had to move all and put them in the garage.

Worst of the worst, he requested me to 'get rid of' them, and really felt angry with my order. He didn't even listen to me how bargain I got. He told me that if he wants to give anything for children, he'll spend at that time -- even not mind to pay for full price. He told me that not to let children known about this. He even complained me that I've spolied them too much with obsessive toys. And finally told me off for buying any toy for them. How mean he is!!!:mad: I can't say a word as the store room inside the house has already filled up with my shopping (not only from Boots though).

Now my choices are:
1) Returning them back to Boots (don't want to do this at all - as they are large toy boxes)
2) Selling them on ebay
3) Giving them away to others (without letting my kids known -- so ashamed not to see them happy with new toys)
4) Putting them in the bin (that what the thing my OH's nearly done)

I don't want to waste my money. But if I return them back to Boots, I will get my money back but lose my good opportunity (Of getting things cheaply). Actually, I have other 5 bags of Boots shopping hidden at my office. Some were bought when 50% off, some in 75% off. Planned to take them back home tomorrow, but can't do it now. I thought I were saving a fortune for my quick on sale. But now I have to let all gone. So sadddddddddd.

Was imagine them enjoy with:
Doctor Who battle (remote control Daleks)
Doctor Who Tardis playset
Operation
Noddy computer
Power rangers walkie talkie
Power rangers shooting disc
3D snake ladder
Thomas the Tank wheeled bag
Spiderman watch
Doctor who sonic screw driver torch

I wasn't gonna give them all in once, but one item in each month. But now it is useless to talk or change his mind. Just only if the delivery had been arrived yesterday or the day before, I would had no problem at all (as I can easily hide them by myself). I did more than 30 orders from Boots online during the last 12 months (since I joined this thread). No single order comes late at all. Most of them were arrive 2 days in advance. Unlucky me!!!!!!!!!!:mad:

Sorry for long posting. Difficult to say how I really feel....... Friends would not understand me as they consider I shop too often and spend too much.

I can see both sides of the arguement. I have a huge pile of toys which were great bargains but now I wonder who to give them too. We go to loads of parties so are getting through them slowly !!!! I now only buy things if I know who and when to give them too. Luckily my OH just laughs at my boots and tesco obbession but I hav ecut back lately

Just back from the Trafford Centre in Manchester. Loads of stock of smellies etc left. Virtually no toys though except the tube station trains and Leap Pad Car Stories. Staff putting out cages of goodies as fast as they can.
Got loads of gift sets for next year.:j
