Thanks.

So if I did concealer at £2.29, lip glaze at £3.79 then say an eyeshadow at £2.99 I would get the lip glaze free and the concealer, therefore only paying £2.99.

Then I want a powder at £2.79, lip glaze at £3.79 and say another eyeshadow at £2.99 I would again only pay £2.99. Thus getting six items for less than £6, does that sound right?

If you look on Boots.com at the No17 items, there seem to be a few products that aren't included in the 342 offer. Might be worth checking your shopping list against these?

Let us know how you get on anyway...my daughter is a real makeup groupie and would appreciate the chance to spend a bit of her pocket money!

Does anyone have any quick tips they could give me on ways to max my points (short of reading through this enormous thread !)

Thank you in advance :beer:

jtb2412 - most importantly I should have said regular check post one and two on this thread as crazyposhgirl works hard to update the information and it's where the important info can be quickly located.

Just back-didn't buy much as had to go to get aftershave for dad who just wouldn't wait till tomorrow even though i said I was going in tomorrow for a possible points event.Anyway his brut cost me £4.19 so I grabbed an expert facial soap to get it over £5 to qualify for a hair voucher(marked £1.09) but went through at 87p-handed over the expert points voucher but the till beeped.The lovely male sa said he saw no reason not to overide it as it clearly said any expert product so I got the points.Afterwards he mentioned that he thought they meant to aim at the expert hair loss spray which is expensive but misprinted.

Thank you hesjane - you're an :A

Have made a note of what to buy - I can see myself going in a few times (separate occasions obviously!) on Saturday !

You don't necessarily have to go in a few times....I buy everything I want and go to one till with the lot and explain I am putting through separate transactions to get the best out of my vouchers and points. The SAs are usually fine with that.

But whatever you feel most comfortable with will work best for you.

Good luck on Saturday:beer:

I realise it may be a bit of a journey for some of you who want the P&P set, but they are in stock at Blackpool, there's also some of the S&G boxes at £7.50 and some of the No7 mirrors.
I was a bit miffed to see that the 3rd off on the S&G Spa stuff had finished, I quite fancied another Jammin thing with the points boost.

Hesjane thanks for the thanks, have returned the favour ! lol

Thanks also for the reply. I can't wait to go on Saturday ! Have been stopping myself from buying toiletries etc from my supermarket shop for a while now, so got a nice long list of things to get. I'll watch your plan of attack with interest !

Don't forget to split your shopping into smaller groups so that you can get several £2 hair vouchers for £5 spend but also check the ACM for total spend bonus points i.e 50 points for a £7.50 spend


Sorry hesjane, you've already mentioned this but didn't see your reply until I'd posted

My DD has just received her AC and wants to make full use of the double points voucher that came with it.
Hesjane just pointed out that you can't double voucher points, but is it possible to double bonus points such as the 400 on Nivea Q10?
Example, buy two Nivea Q10 cleansing milks, get 800 points, then use the voucher to double them?

No I'm afraid not, will only work on spend points, no bonuses.
