Successfully getting some of the better glitches often depends on if the SA you pick is willing to try. Its sometimes sensible to buy some other things to 'disguise' your bargain. If the SA won't put it through, please don't make a fuss - they are only doing their job. Just try again another SA / store / day. It is a good idea to try and make a friend in a SA if possible.

The baby experts baby wipes are bogoff at 2.55, i used a half price baby expert voucher from the mailing, so they are 1.27.
the till then minused 0.51 for each packof wipes. so got 2 packs of wipes for 21p. Does not work in all shops

The Johnson's stuff is on 2 for £2.50 and the cotton wool is on 2 for £2. The Johnson's individual prices are £2.47,so the "till" online sees the original price @ £2.49......
So if you buy 4 of the Johnsons, you pay £4.96 but the till see's it as £9.96ish (sorry if the figures aren't quite right). Add something cheap like the cotton buds for 55p, and this takes you over the £10 spend..........but you only pay £5ish...
Baby Shampoo x 2 = £4.98
Baby Shampoo x 2 = £4.98
Cotton Buds x 1 = 0.55 (to take total spend to over £10)
= £10.51
200 points awarded
**the 2 for £2.50 then kicks in**
Total to pay = £5.51.Thanks Jamtart
This offer also works with BOGOHP Selected Aussie Haircare, Selected Boots Haircare, Selceted Pantene Haircare, Selected Head & Shoulders and selected Herbal Essence

Slimfast is currently on 342. Slimfast soups are 3x £1.20 (or £1.30) on 342 = £2.40 (or £2.60).
1/2 Price for HC = £1.20 (£1.30) to pay for 3 soups, which makes it £0.40 (or £0.43) each.:D
Get 15 soups for £6.00 plus 100 AC points from the leaflet, makes them effectively £0.33 (if they are £1.30, get 12 for £5.85 plus 100 AC points = £0.40).Thanks GeCon

Off to boots today ladies............and our poor DH who get dragged around with us........rolling their eye balls lol.

I got my PC Coupon through this week. So my question is:

What order do I hand the vouchers over in?

£5 PC Voucher WYS £20
Highlight voucher Free with NO 7
£5 off No7 Pink Voucher

I also have the 250 points vouchers but till always beeps.

Another question, in the ACM I get a 100 points if I buy anything from the Naturals Toilettry Range. I have looked online and their tea tree mask comes up in the toilettry range for 99p. Anyone fancy giving this a try.......... Or has someone tried this?

Really looking forward to future sales, we are saving points and £2 for the next one.

If I recall correctly, it says No Sachets somewhere on that voucher. But you could give it a go.

I bought a couple of the body sprays...they make great room freshener sprays!

Hi, sorry if this has been asked before, but I have a £5 No7 voucher and was going to get the P+P serum which is £16.75. Say I got a second thing -an eyeshadow for example, costing £7. That takes the total to £23.75, do I then qualify for the GWP as the full price is over £20 - or not, because once the £5 No.7 voucher is taken off the total I'm only actually paying £18.75 Thanks for any help

If you don't really want the eyeshadow I would suggest buy the P&p set if they have it in your branch. That way you will get the full sized p&p with lots of extra goodies, can pick up the gwp (as it's £20) and also use your £5 off voucher and pay only £15. You can also combine this with the highlights if you've got a voucher, or pick up a mag in store. If you try the acm it may also give you 75 points of a £10 or £15 spend (can't remember which). hth

HAS ANYONE HAD ANY DELIVERED??

I asked yesterday mornig if anyone had had some delivered as i was not sure if it was full sized as the week before it did say sample..................There was a person who had not recieved anything with there order even though it was on email reciept thingy. If someone who has ordered for delivery today get them can you post and let us now as i wouldn't want to order a couple for nothing, and all those that have ordered 1000's for resale might be gutted if they jusy got samples.

Sorry i did check the other thread as mentioned but that person had ordered some not recieved them.

Talking P+P sets anyone found them in essex? Chelmsford?? I have looked but found none.

Morning saveaholic, morning all

If you're only buying the eyeshadow to make it up to £20, why not wait until your local store gets the £20 P&P sets in, and buy one of those instead?

You'll get the P&P serum that you wanted, with loads of extra goodies, and then the GWP as you've spent £20.

If you look at crazyposhgal's OP, and see what Bumbles got, you'll be amazed lol, but it did include a PC £5 off, and various other points etc.

HTH and have to log off soon, but if you get stuck, I'm certain someone else will explain it better than me

Sorry if this has already been replied to.
