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: .



:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: I can just imagine the snooty SA being a jobsworth trying to get them off the shopfloor! You'd think it was coming out of their own pocket. I havent got my highlighter yet, I couldnt find anything under £6 hardly a bargain if I wasnt intending spending the £6 to begin with!

My local branch had loads yesterday, and the lady at perfume counter was unwrapping a clear bag full of them too. Looks like they were well stocked up.

Going to a different boots tonight, got 2 £5 skincare vouchers, will try and get sanctuary minis, thanks to all who mentioned them! Will also see if I can find any cheap no 7 stuff to get the highlighter.

The wakefield one only has the ted baker speaker sets and the lynx sets, and bubblebaths, not really worth it. They did have some big globes, which were down to 1.50 from 15.00.

thanks. my 5 year old wants a globe (don't ask!) so may have to drag myself there tomorrow & hope there's some left!!

got a bit annoyed that loads of the 'new' toys at the back of boots had the green parcel stickers on and some bratz shower gels that had been in the 75% sale were back with full price stuff scanning through at full price of £3!! :rolleyes:

I just got
Skin Doctors Powerbrasion Micro-Dermabrasion System
for a fiver, SA put it through and it came up at
£59.95 :eek: , but had clearance sticker on
at £5, well pleased :j :j
Also used my last 2 skincare vouchers on Sanctuary Masks

Reading all these stories. Why are SA's so rude? They work and get paid by a company who chooses to do these offers, the rules are clear on the vouchers yet they moan about giving the stuff out!

Highlighter is free with any No 7 product, it says nothing about a minimum spend and if they are that bothered then withdraw the magazine. Now I know why I couldnt find the tan wipes, they have probably taken them off the shelves until 27th Feb!

I bought something the other day that had a green parcel sticker on, but its full price on .com so didnt bother to complain.

I think they were annoyed that I'd made 2 complaints this morning. I think the telephone numbers go through to different desks in the same room. But hey I had 2 good reasons to moan, so why should I feel bad.

Yeah it was really funny seeing the SA (4of them) trying to work out where I had got theses wipes from! They were not happy! But I don't see the problem, if you can use it with reduced items as well ( well we can in store). It's not like Boots can't afford to give it's valued customers a good deal now and then:rotfl: :rotfl:

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).

:beer:

thank you from me too - I now have all three highlighters for next to nothing. I am new to all this and will nominate you for post of the month if someone can tell me what I need to do:D
