How daft am I then???

I've just been clearing out a shelf in my wardrobe and found not one but seven jars of Botanics Body Butter. I'd forgotten all about them. Smells fine and I'll use it, but how long ago was that particular glitch on then? I wasn't a Bootser then or even an MSE-er, but obviously the glitch was a worthwhile one otherwise I wouldn't have this particular stash. There was also a small heap of No7 skincare, btw, including three tubes of Awakening Eye Gel.

Don't get me wrong...I use a lot of Body Butter because there's a lot of me to butter, but seven jars? Not including all the Sanctuary and S&G stuff I've stashed this year? I'll have to spend the rest of the year like a greased pig to use all that lot up......

WOW 100 pages already aren't we a busy little thread

valk_scot - I haven't been to a Boots since 75% sale day. The reason for this is as above. I have tons of stuff from last years glitches that I'm still using, and I eBayed tonnes of it. My pigsback vouchers/£5 off vouchers/extra points will be the only reason I spend in Boots in the next few weeks. I literally need nothing so its not moneysaving if I don't need it. I'm all for stocking up, but my cupboard is beyond belief. (edit: what makes it worse is I do the AVON too!!)

Forgot to mention that there are tons of Boots magazines by the tills upstairs and downstairs in London Colney. :j

I asked earlier in this thread about non-makeup that you can get with the No7 voucher and I notice someone else has asked this as well. I thought I'd give it a go even though it does say on the back of the voucher;

'EXCLUDED BEAUTY ACCESSORIES'.

As this was my favourite store where the SA's are lovely I took up the make-up sponges, nail files, mini brushes and blush brush. The lovely SA tried every one of these with the voucher and the till always said 'NO'. She tried every which way and no luck. Ahh well, not sure how others have managed.

I also found out that today there are no P&P round gifts in stock BUT they are expecting a delivery of them tomorrow (London Colney branch).

It must depend on the store whether the vouchers work or not, because I've had loads of accessories with the current-and previous No7 vouchers

Some bootsers reported the 5.00 PC scanned ok for them, but I've lost count the amount of times I've tried this and the till always says NO. Maybe, we need to post a list of stores that accept/do not accept the PC's and 5.00 No7 vouchers on accessories etc...

I've used my 5.00 vouchers on accessories in luton, oxford st (big store)and kensington high street. They all went through till ok:D

I've tried 5.00 off No7 PC in Luton (twice), oxford street (big store), high street kensington (twice), without success:mad:

Where are people getting the hand saviour from that they seem to like so much?
I have 3 P&P sets, one for me and two I have got for other people, but they have 'Younger looking hand cream' in them.

It's this one here:

I picked the last one up in the Gloucester store yesterday, forgot to use my 250pts skincare voucher too....

Not sure if you missed it yesterday but the store has ( or had ) 3 sets of the the Insolence & Gucci Rush gift sets too. DD likes the Gucci so may bag her one for christmas...will they keep this long?

Yes it's in the No7 GWP dollardog.

I tried the nail file the last time the £5 vouchers were out and it worked just wondered if anyone had got it to work with the high lighter not that that i'm over fussed as i do have lots now but hey if it's free it's free right;) . It also worked on a eye shadow brush last time 50p to pay. Don't think i can get to a boots this week as Dh is off work and we are on a stay at home holiday so i don't think he will really like me going and he is having an eye operation this week too so i really should be good to him and play nurse and not go to boots.

I'm going to try the 250 points with the £5 no. 7 voucher today with this:

http://www.boots.com/brandtreatment/product_details_brand_treatment.jsp?productid=1057364&classificationid=1031592 (it's skincare right?)

Plan is to hand over the 250 points voucher first, then once the SA says "£7.00 please", I will 'find' <ahem> the £5 off no. 7 voucher, hand that over, with £2.00, thus they'll be actually paying me 50p to take it away

That should work shouldn't it?

Update:

It worked. It was a bit of hard work, but it did in the end

I handed over the 250 points vch as well as a £2.00 off S&G bathing (got the flake away stuff, already reduced to £3.99, so only cost £1.99 )......... and the till did the dreaded BEEP. The SA (who was lovely) poured over the vch, agreed it should work, but said she couldn't do it and would have to call for assistance......... over came the No. 7 SA (who, I'm sorry, but it's true, is quite horrible) :eek: who, VERY begrudgingly agreed it should work and said she would add them on manually. While she was off doing that I quickly whipped out the £5 off vch and it worked ....... so £3.99 spend for £10.99 worth of items and 262 points back.

Did this yesterday - got the GWP with no problem, but the 250 pts wouldn't scan and the SA read it very carefully and said "not with any other offers" - so I didn't like to push my luck.

I didn't bother with the 250 point voucher in the end, well I say 'didn't bother', I actually forgot to take it

So, I got:
Hand Saviour £10.50
Illum Powder £10.25
GWP

I also handed over the illum powder voucher and the pink £5 voucher - the young girl on the till said "you can't have this (GWP) with these vouchers", so I smiled sweetly and said nicely but authoritatively, "oh dear, well it worked yesterday? Why don't you try putting the free gift thru before you take off the vouchers?", so she did (bless :rotfl: ) and it worked :j She also gave me another £5 voucher which I'm sure I shouldn't have got so I legged it PDQ, upstairs to where I actually *spent some of my points* :eek: :eek: on a £27 swimming costume - just hope I can get it on now :rotfl:

I'm pretty pleased with my purchases of late - thank you for all the tips and hints you lovely lot :beer:

Had another good morning in Boots....only did one transaction, but got GWP so I'm happy.

Then had a fab afternoon doing a photoshoot for my nephew's girlfriend - which is something I love doing anyway.....but they gave me a £40 Boots GF as a thank you:T

moosetastic

ive been trying to get the highlighter in The Moor store in sheffield for about 2 weeks now and its always out of stock!! grrrrrr!! Does anyone know if they have any at Meadowhall, and does the GWP work at Meadowhall?? Thanks in advance x

Rang up several local boots and they said they dont stock hilighters if they are a small branch as only a limited amount of products.

Tried to day in a larger branch ( heart racing as I approached the till with vouchers in pocket ready.
Got Hi lighter
No 7 skincare mask
GWP
Then handed in free hilighter voucher
250 points from last GWP
£5 No 7 voucher.
Seems to be the order yiou hand them in as the 250 points was accepted and only paid £8 for lot.
No new No 7 voucher received - went back to till and said they had forgottten to give me one and they boy handed one over.

Now ive got the hang of this (its taken me ages to work it out after scrutinising all your wonderful posts just to make sue i got it right)
can any one help on the sanctuary offers ive looked back over a few pages and remembered seeing a lot about this but thought id concentrate on No 7 first.
The sanctuary thing seem to have died a death can anyone give me an idea were to start what vouchers to get and what to "buy " as u all seem to have a stash of it there must be a good combo. to go for.
Thank you.
