Boots Grabbit Bargains Part 17 - Post your finds here

Dollardog

I asked a store manager today if they had any of the P&P sets in, as they hadn't any on the No 7 stand. She said she hadn't seen any, but went to look for them. She found some in the store room, she said they hadn't been put out as they weren't supposed to be out until a 'certain date', which probably means after the GWP offer finishes. I said that some stores did have them out already. Anyway, although she wasn't putting them out, she did let me have one.
She hadn't seen them before, but said how nice they were and what good value.


I had a really good shop too. I got the following:-

1 x P&P gift set £20
1 x Highlights powder £10.25
1 x GWP
2 x Botanics hand wash £3.00 (buy one get 2nd half price)
2 x Pantene shampoo £2.99 each (2 for £4)
1 x Olbas tissues £1.49
1 x Olay total effects hand cream £4.42
1 x Nivea Q10 £1.70 (marked on shelf at £1.70, but scanned at £6.79, SA over rode till because she had said they were only £1.70 and had bought one herself, could only have one and the £1.70 SEL was removed and corrected to £6.79).


I gave the following vouchers - £1 off Botanics bathing, Pantene voucher which was not accepted because already on an offer, 50p off Olbas from ACM, 500 points for Olay T/E, highlighter voucher from mag, 250 points with No 7 from Christmas gift set, £5 No 7 voucher from previous purchase.

Till did not like the No7 voucher nor the Olay one, so the manager overode the till and gave me the extra 750 points.

Paid £29.61, got 1258 points and another £5 voucher back.

Also saw that the Dreamland electric blankets have now been reduced in quite a few stores. £15 from £29.99 for the single, £20 from £39.99 for the double, didn't look what the kingsize was, but presumably will be half what it was.

Hi

Anyone got any experience of using vouchers with other people's names on them

I have been given a 500 points voucher for £10 baby spend from one friend and another total spend points voucher from my mum. Both have different names on and then my name is different again.

Is this likely to be a problem? If not...is it okay to use them all in the same transaction.

Thanks for any advice

all the barcodes etc are the same for every voucher.... i do this all the time. i use all my mums etc etc...this goes for any of the ones from the acm machine instore too!!

good luck

Not a super grabbit but you might want to keep an eye on the John Frieda overnight hair serum mask - its expensive but on 3 for 2 and absolutely brilliant. I ordered some online and tried it yesterday on straw like hair (too much colouring and ghds ) and today it looks normal and very smooth and shiny.

is it called overnight serum as ive got sore eyes scrolling through all the john frieda and couldnt find it lol this would be ideal for my daughter... how much is it normally

thanks

Might be worth trying getting a reduced one (for anyone that wants it) with the current ACM voucher for 1000 points when you buy a dreamland blanket?

that would make the single £5

Also, anyone after the new P&P set they only have 5 left in london colney (or so the lady who picked up the phone there said!)

foxy-lady

Used up a few of my £5 no7 vouchers from ebay today.

1)
eye make-up remover + illuminating powder
used free powder coupon then £5 coupon leaving £1.50 to pay

2)
face wash + illuminating powder
used free powder coupon then £5 coupon leaving £1.50 to pay

3)
wipes + illuminating powder
used free powder coupon then £5 coupon leaving £1.50 to pay

Didn't bother making up the spend to £20 to get the gwp as not really that impressed with it and so not prepared to hand over an EXTRA £6.50 in cash to get it. Only want to get things that I will use and they are all priced £6.50 each.
So-
2 x no7 things @ £6.50 + illuminating powder to get the total over £20 for the GWP.
Less powder voucher and £5 voucher leaves £8 to pay. No way hose!

ps- had a .com delivery today and even though I had ordered things showing the free 'palmolive sample' nothing has arrived??

Hi gals!

I haven't been bootsing since the 75% sale - how good is that! However, I've been waiting an eternity for the no 7 £5 spend vouchers to appear so I can get a foundation. And also the highlighter for free - does this work?

My only problem is I neither need nor want ANYTHING from Boots to spend £10 to get a voucher :eek: Can you believe this...do you think I've been cured?? I don't have a mobile to top up etc. We usually end up buying all sorts of tablets when we get stuck, but we have enough paracetamol to last a life time!

Can anyone tell me when the no7 vouchers run out please?

They run out on March 2nd

Did you get any of the 400 points on your Q10s? and how many points did you make in all?


Sob .no I didnt know about the Q10 points where can i get voucher for this as they had more. I always get it wrong i need a bootsing mentor.:o

Mumhug - If you are going back to that store, take your purchase you bought ie Q10 and receipt, and say, "you bought these items, and your sister/friend/mother whoever you want to say, bought the same items the same day, and she got 400 points", so you want the 400 points adding, if a SA says no, then say, get me your manager, because its £4 better off in your pocket than the billionaire's pocket. They can either and quite simply do a refund on all the items and start again with a fresh till receipts giving you the 400 points, or the manager can easily add the missed 400 points, why should you miss out if its a SA that got mixed up on those tills.

Computers! what would we have been like without them! a dark place i bet!!
