Thanks sally I thought it best to warn hesjane as I was thinking of adding a couple of similar things as hesjane was, but the younger, and much nicer SA, said no to quite a few things.

So I abandoned the 2 x P&P idea and settled for using up a couple of pink vouchers on skincare

Today's shop.

I bought the Sanctuary set that valk_scot mentioned. It looked better after I'd looked at it again (still all crumply, so not displayed to it's best) but as valk said, much better value than the others on the display.

Received the GWP with it, but it wouldn't take the £3 off. I didn't worry too much, but got the beep when I tried it on a full-sized Sanctuary thing in another store. It took a while to be sorted, but SA keyed it in for me.

Not much on the clearance in any of the stores, but as the poster who mentioned Harrow said, the Palmolive shower thing is £1.14p. I'm not sure if rubylou's been on, but if you read this rubylou, why have they taken away one of the clearance shelves from PC? It was my first port of call and I miss it lol

Hi Passion:D

I moved house on Tuesday choas ever since:rotfl:

Have kept on eye on thread and visited PC a couple of times. I noticed clearance shelf missing and did overhear 2 SA's talking about it not being there. It would appear on the orders of another member of staff. The 2 members of staff were saying what difference does it make having it etc The reducing cucumber stuff is where you find that range on shelf its weird now. Sure deo is reduced and that's with the range. I got reduced toothpaste that sits with the range. Luckily my fav Saturday lad was on and I got served by him he's so helpful.....dental stuff is on 3 for 2 no notices anywhere so he said go get yourself another one. He is a sweetie.:D

Passion do you know if S&G & Sanctuary mini's are 3 for 2 in there. I looked but saw no signs ad saw none of the bags etc.

In fact I was so disillussioned with PC and very jealous of others getting the S&G sets for £5 ish and the Accessorise box sets cheap guess what I did.......

I had to phone CS to change address this am. So took the opportunity to ask why other stores reduced these items and other stores had just changed the displays from Valentines to Mothers Days. I said our MD display was crap and hadn't changed lol. She said it sounded has though these needed to be taken off and reduced lol. Luckily I was heading to Boots today so I charged into town to see nothing had changed pmsl:eek: So i'm still consumed by jealousy:rotfl:

hi all, this thread is great!!
Anyway i just wamted a bit of advice on how best to use my vouchers.....
I have a £3.00 off sanctuary (got from gift set), now i know these are spend over £10.00 and get a free gift,
I have a £5.00 off no7 (from PC)
I have a free illuminator voucher.
Also have half price experts skincare voucher (PC)
And i have £12.00 to spend on my boots card, so if i spend over £10.00 on my boots card- will i still get a £5.00 voucher for no7???? as i really need some bio oil and was thinking of treating myself... (37 weeks preggars!!)

Also can i use the PC voucher and the 5.00 off voucher together?? as i tried the other day and a rather snooty SA said that i couldnt use together!! (without even trying!) and that id have to actually SPEND £20.00 to get free gift??!!!!

So whats the best way to spend as little as possible (hopefully on boots card!!!;) ) and still get the free gift??? and free illuminator??

HELPP!!!!

Thanks in advance.

It has a sort of disposable cardboard tube in it for stiffening, so I expect once that gets crumpled it stays that way. Oh well...maybe you'll catch a few really squashed ones in clearance after Mothers Day??? They are good value, especially when you add on the GWP.

These Sanctuary vouchers are a REAL pain. I've yet to use one that goes through without protest, and I've been using them on very straight forwards things that there's no arguements about. Oh well, never mind.

I've looked on .com and cannot find the i-brush that has been mentioned you can buy using the £5 voucher. Does anyone have a picture so that I know what I'm looking for? Pretty please.

Not sure what the best combination of vouchers is, I'll leave that to the experts. I noticed you were thinking of buying some Bio Oil though, the Boots Expert range includes a scar repair serum which a lot of people swear by for stretch marks. It's currently priced at £5.99 but goes through the till for £3.99, there is also a voucher for 100 points from the ACM to use on the scar care serum, plus you have a half price Experts voucher. It could save you a few pounds and get you some extra points too if you wanted to try that instead of the Bio Oil. You would need to use cash though if you wanted to use the extra points vouchers (I think)

Go and buy it!!!!! you will regret it if you dont. It is such a lovely fragrance and tell yourself you can always sell it on ebay(but probably wont) if you change your mind. I wanted to buy the dior reduced set today to get the make up bag(prefer poison to pure poison and not sure about j'adore but really want the bag!) but my daughter wouldnt let me!

I left my Advantage card at a shop the other day, they didn't destroy it like they normally do, because they knew it was mine. When I fetch it, I might treat myself out of my points!! - Don't NEED it though, as I have already bought one.
