Hi, after my first attempt (and succesful at that) to get the gwp, free highlighter and dream lash mascara and paying just £5.50 on Friday by using the £5.00 off pink voucher, free high lights powder coupon and also the 100 extra points for the mascara from the machine i'm hooked!!!

I now have another £5.00 pink voucher and from the GWP a 250 extra points coupon when I buy any product from the No7 Skincare range. I still have one more highlights coupon left too so could someone please tell me what would be my best spend to use all three without the till bleeping. Is there any chance I could also get another free GWP (as I have 3 daughters who will use them!!!) What is the cheapest best/product in the 'skincare' range for No7 and would I be able to use all three coupons in one transaction. I have been looking for the P&P set in Luton but not found any yet!!! (nor any reduced No7 stuff, Nivea Q10 etc...) Going to Milton Keynes on Saturday but will be dragging my OH and two DD's around with me so don't want to spend all day just in Boots!!!

Thanks in advance - any tips from all you experienced bootsers out there.. and sorry if this has been asked before...

If the P+P giftset passes for skincare which I'm certain it will you could do
P+P gift set
illum powder
GWP

Pay
250 pts
£5 pink voucher
Illum voucher
Bringing the total to pay down to £15 gaining 250 pts + another pink voucher

Someone else may know better & clarify but I reckon this ought to work.
You could then do it all again illum voucher availability permitting & have lots of goodies.

Thanks for that. I would really love this P&P set but as I've had no success in my local store (where do they keep them by the way?) then I'm not too optomistic that they will have any in Milton Keynes (anybody seen any in Milton Keynes?) so if this is the case have you got any other ideas?
If I am lucky and find this set could I get the free GWP also?
Anybody know what the SA's are like in Milton Keynes as I was so worried about my first ever transaction not going through last week but was really lucky I got a nice young SA who after realising she had over charged me for my 'clearance' Pantene and refunding me - didn't ask me for the No7 Voucher back that she had given me cause the original total was £10.50!!!
Thanks again...:T

I was thinking about you earlier too pinkytots There seemed to be a lot less Gucci Rush in Hull . Maybe they've all been reading this thread? lol


I know sometimes it can feel like we're doing something a little naughty against Boots when we work out our bargains/glitches etc., but thinking about what you said above passion8 I now think that we're probably one of Boots's best selling agents.

For a case in point the Gucci Rush set - my mum bought one in her local small boots, she didn't recognise it at first as it's normally in a red box, so wouldn't have noticed until my sister pointed it out to her. She told me about her bargain as she knows I'm totally into bootsing now. She'd bought the last one so I looked on line under "special offers on selected fragrance" as it was reduced and it didn't bring it up so I assumed it was sold out. I put Gucci Rush in the search engine to find the RRP for her and it was then it brought up the gift box, so I ordered two for myself and in my delight posted here.

Told mum who decided she'd like another couple - I put them in my basket and left it 'til the morning as I knew I as getting up for the sale and this way she'd have free delivery (me too) by the time I'd got up at 5am they'd gone from my basket and were out of stock.

As has been often said, Boots site is a shocker, the indexing it to pot, it freezes on you, it nicks stuff out of your basket while your shopping and I really don't think those sets would have sold out unless I'd posted it on here as you wouldn't even know the bargain was there unless you were going to pay full price anyway.

Look at the palmolive stuff, posted on here and within hours sold out. The P&p sets, if left to .com would not have sold as everyone would have thought it was 15ml p&p serum and not such a bargain, but because we could put everyone right - loads more sales (if you can get them that is )

Now I know all the above and many many more have only sold because we were all getting a bargain, but my point is (and I'm getting to it, honestly!!)
some boots bod has decided that selling at the price they are (however reduced) they are still making a profit/getting rid of unwanted stock to make way for more profitable lines and are happy to trade at that price and whether we buy them all at once, or they sit on the shelves and take forever because everyone is too busy to realise what a bargain they could get - the end result for Boots is that they have sold stock and that's what they are in the business of doing. I actually think they should welcome the mse'r with open arms as we are one of the best marketing tools they have got.

So go boldy into Boots today and claim your bargains/glitches in the full knowledge that you are an unofficial unpaid member of their sales team!!!

Absolutely. The GWP is dependant on your spending £20 which is the price of the giftset. Vouchers are classed as cash in the still ( I believe ) so it ought NOT to be £20 AFTER handing over vouchers though some have encountered this. Give it a go cos all they can say is NO & you'll say OK I'll go away & think about it OR it'll come off & you'll go back for more...hook, line & sinker.

Hi, most FRAGRANCE gift sets have been 1/3 off since the xmas sale began. Does anyone remember if they are likely to be reduced after Valentines Day (on the day or the following one)? TIA.

Didn't work for me. Neither the 250 points or the illum voucher worked gwp apparently is "any other offer". Think there is a problem with the 250 point anyway. The P&P is classed as a gift set don't know whether that is it. In this instance I wished I'd gone to the no 7 counter because I'd have at least got the points added on. Hope you have more luck.

If we use the Half Price Flosser, the 3 for 2 should still kick in shouldn't it?
