    It was a sachet of skin clear stuff, from this range...

    It was definately 66p per sachet.
    My voucher did not exclude the sachets from the offer.
    I got three sachets, and received 450 points.

    I promise I am telling the truth!!!
  • adcard vouchers tend to say excludes this n that but the it is reliant on staff noticing most of the time like with t&g miniatures you get the points if you get past the checkout person - who usually notices except when you buy lots of mixed stuff by which time they have forgotten once packed and totalled up. ;D

    I tried this with T&G minatures this morning and didnt get the extra 200 points even tho she scanned the voucher, so this isnt true with T&G miniatures

    My voucher didn't mention the exclusion of sachets!!!!!

    When I get home from work I will check the receipt again...
  • Actually the bootsentertainment.com isnt that dear - i think its because its run by a seperate ocmpnay on Boot's behalf. Ive ordered two cds from it now, and the prices compared to Virgin with free delivery and HMV before delivery charges applied. Had i bought both cds in town they owuld have been £3 dearer at least. I dont know for DVDs as i havent bought one of them off that site yet - when I wanted The Day After Tomorrow they only had the 2 disc one whereas i wanted the 1 disc one so got that in an HMV store - noticed ysterday they now have the 1 disc but it was £1 dearer than what i paid. So i guess it all just depends. About A Boy for a fiver is about right as its just been on TV but i missed it due to Rangers on Scottish tv going into extra time, so might have to order that now.

    Ooh = managed to go to the Retail Park Inverness branch yesterday BUT the machine with the best lighting for me was out of order! bad! the others were still a bit dim so didnt bother with it. i dont know what the cashier thought of my four bottles of diet coke, four bottles of flavoured water, two bolltes of plain water, three packets of snack a jacks, three packets of fruit/nuts and a meal deal. i think she must have thought id gone strak raving bonkers! No nice young men about, but i did manage to find people on the shopfloor to ask questions about what i wanted but they didnt have it, which is more than i can usually say aobut Eastgate, lol.
    my advantage_card is like gold dush
  • then again there were 2 versions of the t&g vouchers one was 250 pts and scnned to gice only 200 that definitely worked (he! he!) the new one says 200 and gives 200 - I think its still per item but not sure about effect on miniatures (it also varies from store to store as Beckton store gives Zero/Zilch/Nought pts) has to be added manually so yuo only get one lot as they are an awful lot in that store excluding casual staff.

    Great day in Boots today - bought a dust buster type thing with points that was on offer for £29.99 - sad I know but hoovering the stairs is hard when you're in the last stages of pregnancy!!

    Also, managed to get loads of points using offers from the machine - its still possiblefolks although I fear we have seen the last of the cucumber/fragrance free offers.. :'(
