How much do you sell the wipes for? I have a ton of these and thinking of doing a bootie, not sure what prices to charge though?

Not sold the TD wipes b4 but as they are £3.99 I would probably start at £1.50 and see what happens.

While I'm at it I may aswell thank myself for the high lights glitch. However, MSE Martin is under the impression the person who started the thread on the freebies board is the OP of the high lights glitch. I don't suppose he reads the boots grabbit threads. If he did, he would know that moi mentioned the glitch first many weeks ago on grabbit 14;)

Well a big thank you from me.....and I am going to nominate you for post of the month (can you let me know where on grabbit 14 it was so I can quote the post no. and that way point out that it was you and not the freebie board that raised this fantastic glitch).

Can anyone tell me if i can use the PC 500 extra points when you spend £10 on baby products in the baby department when buying a child car seat?

I just got refused on mini mode, SA said its only Boots branded items. But I called Adv card and they checked and said it IS on anything in baby dept.

Have you looked on the Parenting club offers on .com? click on Parenting club down left column, sign in and click Exclusive offers, they are doing 10% off all Travel and nursery products OR 500 points when you spend £50 on baby products. 10% off would be a fair bit on the cost of a car seat (hope they have the one you want on .com)

i had good shop. thank you... spend just over £10 but i think i will take this lola set back on saturday as i too dont think it is worth £2.50... i got one each from ted baker, shrek wash, transformator, kim messenger bag, this brandy set and xmas cards and wrap paper...

also on till on the second floor they have box full of 17 lipstick, nail polish etc 20-50p

Which store was this netimka? I'd love to go on a boots crawl around the country. Anyone fancy it?:rotfl:

I went to cambridge store (in town) today and they had tan wipes in the reduced section, so I got a highlighter free :j , But the SA was not very happy about this "i'll let you have it this once" speach!
I quickly grabbed loads after paying, and dotted them around the store for others......just in time as the SA were looking for them saying " they shouldn't have been put out until the Highlighter voucher had finished!! So anybody in Cambridge look at the top of the [SIZE=-1]Esculator [/SIZE] , :rotfl: :rotfl: .
My friend got a free highlighter with a £2.00 reduced lipstick, and the voucher went through fine!

Also I grabbed a brats pink bag thing that didn't have a tag on it, so I offered to get another one for the SA to scan, Got home and she had put both in my bag ....£1.50 for £30.00 worth of goods ( I would never have paid that).:T

Boots up Newmarket Rd has very limited things but still has the 75% sign, but is scanning at 90% off.

All in all I have have had a great day & I hope this is of some use to someone!

cuppa-cha

i went into my local boots today for the 90% off clearance,
there was nothing.

i went passed the cucumber facial range - this was all reduced to 35p.
the acm machine were giving out 100 extra points on any cucumber product....i bagged some for myself, thought it was a bargain!!!

Hello all:j
Got to slough boots at about 9:20 and all they had was about 10 ted baker speaker sets, loads of rose bath cystals, about 10 cyyberman sweetie filled heads, about 10 trains filled with marshmallows, lots of mens aromatherapy toiletry sets, some horrible wrapping paper and a few rolls of wtp paper, lots of tags, some simpson crackers, 4 different sorts of cards and some postman pat bubble bath!!
I got:
3 ted baker sets £1.50
4 rose crystals 30p
4 postman pat bubble baths 50p
cards 35p
cyberman head 60p
train 40p
when i got outside i realised id been charged £2 each for the bubble baths!!:eek: so after taking lo to the toilet:rolleyes: i took them back, sa very nice, we had a laugh about the strange tills (it went through as 50p after i 'rebought' them ) but only ended up with 3 bubble baths as one had cracked:rolleyes: now i wished id got another cyberman as would have been good for ohs nephew at xmas:rolleyes: The train was to bribe lo with:rotfl:
So all in all i got most of what i wanted, the bubble baths are little 'prizes' at los birthday party. only going to invite my niece and little brother (plus older bros/sis who are aged from 11-23) so enough prizes. cant be bothered inviting people we dont see the rest of the year like we usually do!!!
Left my skincare voucher at home but got one after buying sale stuff, however nothing left under £9.99!! so unspent about 15 highlighters and lots of mags but no cheap no7/tan wipes/reduced
Got a few bargains elsewhere too:D

Please tell me there wasn't anything worth having in the BOT store. I decided not to go but i can't help thinking ive missed things. Scrappymad and Patty did you go 90%sale today?

No, didn't go. Wanted to but DH was visiting a customers today so didn't leave home until 10pm. So I figured that by the time I would have got there anything left would have gone anywayAlso made the mistake of mentioning it to him yesterday as I was undecided if I shoud go or not. And he then mentioned something about the mountain of ironing building up and the floor needing a vacuum!!!! Took that to mean I ought to stay in :rolleyes: So stayed in and saved some money !

Wonder if there was anything left???

A big thanks from me too sally and I'll join hesjane in the post of the month thingy when it appears.

Prospect Centre - Hull had the same as has been mentioned above:- Ted Baker sets, Lynx sets, loads of the talc and bath salts, wrapping paper, crackers etc. (I also bought a bikini for a quid, and a bikini top for 50p, which was handy as I'd bought the bottom to it for 50p last week! There was only the one unfortunately.

I managed to get a Botanics Set, Bathroom Bliss, in the clearance section - half price. Should have been £15 but the boxes were tatty, but will come in handy for hamper sets.

Kingswood, Hull had the Elle sets at 90% off but very little else.

Boots Hull (Nr Ice Arena) - nothing worth mentioning tbh apart from those USB fans at 90%, but one nice SA.

Boots, Beverley - A few Remington Foot Spa boxes with 4 small Aromatherapy Treatments - 50p. They were selling quite a lot of reduced make-up - everything a pound. It included Revlon mascara, L'Oreal Glam Shine (whatever that is lol), Max Factor Lipfinity etc. Not a great deal as it's a very small shop and the stand is minute, but they were restocking.

Spent a fortune using up those flipping £5 coupons and met some of the miserablest SA's ever. They were particularly unhelpful today, which sort of takes the shine off things sometimes, but will be mailing CS to praise the one helpful assistant in the Boots near the Ice Arena

My feet are killing me, and despite the SA's, it's been a blast, so thanks again everyone x

I've gone brain dead, so I'll post again later if I remember anything.
