Boots Grabbit Bargains Part 16 - Post your finds here

Thanks ladies - I do try and keep away from the Mrs. Hitlers but this wasn't a No. 7 "insultant", just an "ordinary" SA. Seems like most of the shops in my area (Middlesbrough/Stockton) have been warned about "glitches" and won't even attempt to put them through. As it is technically a glitch, I don't feel confident enough to challenge them to put it through the till and see what comes up.

hi all, discovered this site by accident and am now hooked....

could someone plz explain what 'PC vouchers' and 'ACM 'vouchers are and where do you get them?

how do you get the 'GWP'?

Welcome. I've only been here a short time and I am also hooked. :beer:

PC = Parenting Coupon

ACM = Advantage Card Machine

GWP = Gift with Purchase.

One of the GWP is a no7 box that you get 'free' when you spend £20 on the no7 brand. There are many others at the moment and they are all listed on the first post.

I think that's right.

HTH = Hope that helps

I don't see it as a 'glitch' Mari, it's a perfectly good bargain, and even that's debatable lol. But it might have been a glitch when the tan wipes were used to buy it

Good luck next time. I move so far away from No7 tills sometimes that I'm practically in WH Smiths trying to pay for stuff :rotfl:

There was a lovely big round box of protect and perfect products I haven't noticed before, and maybe it was there and I've never noticed. It has
the full sized P&P serum and travel sizes of the
day cream, night cream, eye cream as well as travel sizes of the lighten and brighten age spot corrector, younger, longer hand cream, soft and smoothed gentle toner, soft and smoothed gentle cleanser. Completely quenched moisture lotion and cleanse and care eye makeup remover

It is £20 and I used my £5 off voucher and picked up the gwp.

I think the box together with the gwp make a lovely mother's day present for £15

Does anyone know if they do these online?

I did a couple of good shops today:D

!st transaction:

Returned another unwanted gift and bought 2 x sanctuary bathing products and got GWP free. For anyone who hasn't seen this yet. It is gorgeous, so go and have a look. Inside is a £3 off sanctuary voucher. But, the voucher only works on products in white packaging (SA confirmed this. Will keep mine to use with the next lot of skincare vouchers:D ) total to pay 1p:j

2nd transaction:

No7 dream mascara £11.00 (london stores are more expensive:mad: )
high lights £10.75
GWP
17 solo eye shadow x 2 £2.79 each
17 curl lash mascara £1.19
GWP

Used £5 No7 voucher, high lights voucher from mag, 2 for £5 17 ac voucher, 100p ac dream mascara voucher, 100points 17 mag voucher. Couldn't use total spend vouchers 'cos ac machine not working:mad: Also, £5 No7 PC didn't scan. Sa said it doesn't work with GWP. She removed GWP to see if it would work, but still didn't scan conclusion: PC coupons are rubbish:mad:

Total: £28.52 Paid:£12.19 + gained 200 points:j earned another £5 No7 voucher and wombled 3!

PS: no Q10 cheap creams in kensington (both stores) or queensway.

Just a reminder (especially for people keeping them for xmas hampers etc)that there is a voucher in the bottom drawer of the No7 GWP for 250 points on any SKINCARE product valid until 22/4/08

Also was a 300 points when you buy any Boots Feel the difference Skin Perfection valid until 22/4/08.

If it's the one I am thinking of it's new, which is why you haven't seen it before. It's in the Mother's Day leaflet (which will probably be out on display in Boots stores after Valentine's Day). I thought it looked lovely too and am hoping to be able to get one for myself.
