Does anyone think that the internet shopping could be a slightly fairer system if it limited purchases of an item to three per transaction.
The Ted Baker sets were limited and they stayed on for quite a while.

Yes I agree.

yesterday my husband went off to get a second highlighter (since my previous post about boots mags at one per month per card holder), i did what you all do, take a mag with each transaction. well, poor hubby was not amused as he was pulled my the manager infront of everyone and said that he already had a mag and highlighter (about 15 mins before) and was not 'allowed' any more magazines or highlighters. i couldnt believe it, for all he knew we had paid a £1 for the magazine. he is lucky it wasnt me he was serving as i am much more argumentative and i would have given him his answer ! we were virtually frogmarched from the store by their eyes. the cashier girls were very good with the wipes/highlighter. i said what a good doeal it was and they all just said that they get so many vouchers and freebies that they didnt need to exploit this to to fill my boots - excuse pun !

going back to previous q, can i call cs to get points added for regenerist product bought that i didnt do at the time (too excited by the above deal)?

I think thats really bad , why is it some boots stores, would have a record of the mags you had and some dont, I feel sorry for your husband, I bet he was like Im never going to do that again.

Funny because I was thinking of this earlier. Sadly I've seen some bits on ebay already - yes i know some may be genuine sales but not all.

Swansea Boots still has some items left in the 75% sale:
Upstairs:
- lots of the Ted Baker speaker set
- some talc drums
- bath crystals with the scoop
- various food items (a bit battered tbh)
- didn't really notice any wrapping paper
- some 'new' items @ 50% off white stickers eg glitterbabes backpacks on the back wall near the photo lab (where last summer's clearance zone was)

Downstairs near the Debenhams side exit:
- more Ted Baker speakers sets
- more food items
- a few Simpsons sets

2/3 ACMs were out of action!

Hope this helps somebody.

Hi All

I poped into Boots at St Paul's on my way home. They still have some sale stuff: largely TB stuff, but a few other bits. However, they do have 2 whole units of 'clearance' stuff... Things like E45, Time Delay, condoms, fake tan, shampoo, smellies etc... Prices from £1 up to "are you sure that's reduced!!!"

Hope that helps someone!
