Boots Grabbit Bargains Part 16 - Post your finds here

SADIE

I tried 4 Cardiff stores today, The Bay, Albany Road, Whitchurch Village and Ty Glas Llanishen, looking for the P+P Mothers day gift set and reduced Q10 with extra points.
The Bay had one night cream at £1.70 it was on a different shelf way away from the reduced or the shelf for Nivea, hubby found it for me, I was really pleased.:j
I was told in The Bay and Tyglas that they weren't having the P+P Mothersday gift in until Feb 18th, the 2 No7 Sa's knew about them so I wonder if they want to get rid of the gwp jewellery boxes, repackaged on the shelves with extras for £35 and a funny little till receipt attached underneath., the other 2 shops didn't know anything about them.
I couldn't get 2 sanctuary gwp boxes together, I had to buy £10 worth of Spa goods for the gwp, then later I couldn't use the £3 voucher against another gwp. I did argue because they are happy to sell it to me for £10 but not to take the £3 off, the Sa's couldn't understand it but the supervisor wasn't budging.:mad:
I'm going to try again tomorrow.
I hope you all did well today and others found some reduced Q10's.:T

I ordered on the first morning, had the order accepted, then 'being processed', then confirmed by phone, so I felt safe in telling a primary school about the dinosaur sets I had bought as a gift, but the order was then cancelled. Two further orders collapsed, and the dino sets appeared online again twice. I wrote an almost identical letter, with an almost identical reply, but 1000 points.

:eek: That's terrible! I think the only reason that I got 1500 points is because I mentioned the 2 sets that had been damaged.

Thanks anyway. Some people have reported success on this and others failures. All depends on the SA as all have said the till bleeps. Will see if I'm brave enough to try this after work tomorrow.

Yes he certainly was, not an easy birth at all. Sorry everyone may have got it wrong might have been a boots own bag. Lol!

I too think I'm suffering from all these early mornings, had to request another password today as for the last few days couldn't log in to let you guys know I was here with you those cold mornings.
Would have loved to have had a little girl to buy all those little girls things for, I am half hoping that tommorow will be boys day, as have a 22 month old too. Dont think I'm going to set my alarm as my body is waking up automatically at 5am anyway and if I sleep through it's fate.:D

I know what you mean about all of the girl's things. Luckily I do have a DD (she's 3 next month) so I have managed to grab a few goodies for her but I also have a DS (14 months) and I've managed to get him the 1 thing. I did manage to order some boy's things but they always get cancelled on me.

I'll be back tomorrow at 5ish anyway. I was here this morning but didn't post as I know some people have been getting a bit fed up over the chat (especially in the morning). This morning some of the things seemed to be 'sold out' immediately. I was sat here refreshing and as soon as the items came through and I clicked 'add' they were already gone!

Must be mad to be doing it all again tomorrow but hey!

A quick question from me:

Before Xmas I'd asked DH to get me one of the No7 gift sets as a pressie. He couldn't get hold of the one I was after so instead he bought me the full size cleanser, toner and essential moisture. Anyway without sounding too ungrateful (I haven't told DH this) I wouldn't really use these products. My skin is quite temperamental and I can only use certain moisturisers without breaking out in spots.

So my question is can I return them for an exchange?
They're still sealed and I think the receipt is around somewhere although I don't know if having the receipt would be a bad thing because they were bought in December.

Any ideas? TIA

Oh well, thanks Dollargog. Wonder if it's only the larger stores then that will have them? Or it may just be early days and the boxes may not have been unpacked yet!

I scoured the 2 largest city centre stores in glasgow and there are none there, I even peered behind the NO 7 counter as the SA was gone away somewhere.

Yes, it's defiitely 30ml I'v got three boxes in my wardorbe now, just got it out and checked one again and is same size as one I've bought for £16,75 previously.

If you make a trip to Chester you'll get the boxes and loads of magazines was tripping over them practically today and before I could even use my magazine the lovely lady on the till used hers on the desk for my purchase.

If you want to pm me I can arrange to send a coupon to you.

Hi Pinkytots,

Did they have many of the P&P gift sets at Cheshire Oaks? Also whereabouts were they?

TIA

Well I finally managed to find a Nivea q10 Night Cream

Barcode 4005808812899

But just as previously it cost me £6.79.

Still got 400 points but how on earth are you (lucky people) getting it for £1.70 I will never know.

The new packaging seems to have a 'window' at the side of the box... HTHs

Just take them back and say they were bought for you as a present and you are allergic to them. If you don't take the receipt they will only exchange them for other goods, not give you money back.
