WOW that is what you call a bargain. Thanks

Hi everyone,
This is my first post on this message board, please be gentle. Thank you so much for all your advice. I ve managed to buy some lovely things in the boots 75% sale.
I bought some pressies for friends and some for myself.
When I opened the presents I gave to myself I noticed that a couple of them had boots vouchers inside the packaging. For example the no17 mini purse included a 'save £1 when you spend £5 or more', this also happened with the no7 lipgloss present. The vouchers expire quite soon, one is 31.01.08. I have decided... where possible; to take the vouchers out of all the presents as I think it gives away the fact that I bought them in the sale (as the date will have passed by the time I give the presents away) and also it gives me a chance to spend them before they expire.
Does anyone else think this is the right thing to do???
Thank you

Reading through this post I just remembered I dreamt about Boots last night The shelves were full and I managed to get a soap & glory set 75% off :rotfl:

Anyone know if Basildon, Lakeside and Bluewater have much stock left? Might make a trip on Monday if they do.

There is a clinique offer online: 1200 on 3 products. Is it in store also? I have a 500 points on 2 purchases from mailing which I would like to use.

yes - it is. will you post if they accept it? as i really want to do the same, but can't afford a transaction if i don't get all the points!

Hi and welcome Economybeans. Definitely the right decision to take out the vouchers so you can use them before they run out (very moneysaving!) and, like you say, not reveal when you bought the gifts.

Hi
Just returned from a business trip to Leeds!
Had time for bootsing.Great!!

Got a glitch!!!
No17
buy mascara £4.75 or £4.99 and get free eye shadow pot.

But if you spend over £5 get free no 17 wipes (ATM voucher) and free 100 points if spend over £5 too (mag voucher). Both these worked as till recognised value of eye shadow even though free.

Better than that though they had no 7 trinket sets with metal container, 2 lip glosses and perfume reduced to 50p!! Got free highlighter (mag voucher), but when went to till the nice lady told me to go and get another 50p thing as 3 for 2 was working, so I got 2 reduced sets and highlighter for £50p!!!!


I love bootsing. It made it worth getting soaked.

One point though- the no 7 highlighter showed up as something funny on airport security machine so meant I had to put my bag through 3 times! So if going on hols with it, put it in the hold, not hand luggage.

Weird!

I think I will try on Monday or Tuesday, and I'll let you know. I'm sure that if in the mean time someone tries, they will post it here. It does say on the 500 points voucher from the mailing, that it cannot be used with other offer... so it might all come down to the SA.
