Sorry if this has been mentioned, but having just returned from an overnighter in Sunny Blackpool (Brrrrrrr....lovely and warm!) and a trot around the Boots there, I'm astounded (and gutted that I wont be in Blackpool on Mon or Tues for the Sale starting) at the amount of Sales Stock.
Its currently all marked up at 50% off but obviously will go to 75% off SOON!
I've never seen such a well stocked Gift / Toy section! More there now than when I last went, the week before Christmas!
Lucky Blackpool people!

Did manage a No7 Highlighter with a £2 clearance eyeshadow, and 3 mags!
Roll on Monday!
(anyone know any details for Leeds...planning to go to Birstall first, then Leeds centre?!)

I go into this store very occasionally (being from Preston - hello Preston gang!). When you go in it looks like a typical 'small Boots' and, I'm ashamed to say, it was only on the last visit I realised it had a THREE floors. However, I don't think I'm the only one. Just after New Year they had stacks and stacks of stuff reduced on the upper floors and hardly any customers around. Lancashire Bootsers take note - it could be a good venue!

PS Hurrah! I haven't been able to post for weeks and weeks but, having downloaded Firefox, am back on line! Welcome back to me!

Maybe we should just list all the Boots that have corrected the glitch so we don't all end up with makeup and tan wipes we don't want and no highlighters we do want.

Canterbury Whitefiars Boots - couldn't find any no7 reduced stock apart from wipes, glitch does not work with no7 tan wipes
Herne Bay tiny Boots - no highlighters but lots magazines
Westwood X - no reduced no7 that I could see

Has anyone tried highlighter coupon with no7 gift sets? It's a long shot i know but it would be a great way to disguise it in amongst 75% off sale stuff :rolleyes: HTH

Does anyone buy L'Oreal Paris Dermo-Expertise Revitalift? (http://www.boots.com/brandtreatment/product_details_brand_treatment.jsp?productid=1001878&classificationid=1040267)

I have a coupon for £1 off it and I will never use it! It's not Boots specific, just a L'Oreal coupon I got sent with a sample. Anyone want it?

I'd use it in Tesco or Asda - you don't have to buy the product in either store to be able to use the coupons - they'll just take the £1 off your shopping.

Enjoy!:D

Hi JaySL -

Looks like an interesting transaction you had with the wipes . What is the PC coupon? Is it a coupon you used which caused the discount? Thanks for any info!

Just to let you know that I managed to get all three colours of the highlighter today. One with a reduced item @ £2.12 which DID NOT work. Till bleeped but SA kindly put it through manually. The other two I got with the tanning wipes at £0.50 each. Till put it through automatically, no problem.

Thanks OP.

I had the same problem with a reduced lipstick for 2 pounds, the till beeped and the coupon wouldnt work, the SA called the manager because I explained that I had bought a reduced item earlier in the day and it worked. The manager said to put it through on a different button, so I got it in the end. Strange thing was it did work earlier in the day with a reduced trinket trio that was 4 pounds, but it was a different store. May be the tills in different stores are set up differently?

Borehamwood boots have some mags in by the perfume counter... I picked one up and was just having a look at the no7 stuff when the security guard asked if I had an advantage card (cos i'd picked up a magazine)...it's like he thought I was going to nick the FREE magazine?!?!

I went to boots today with DP coz he needed some pain killers (otherwise would never have got him in the shop lol) and grabbed a mags and ripped the free no7 highlights voucher out. DP stated really loudly "what are you doing" so I told him and the he nearly shouted "is the mag free then". the security guard started walking towards us so I just walked quickly to the tills. Why are men so embarrassing?
