    Thought I would remind everyone that if something is on clearance and offer you will get both.

    I did I bought something that was reduced but also on 3-4-2 so got it even cheaper. Also I got three for less the price of one :j

    Does that happen very often Calley? Or is it like a Sheffield flood? ;)

    I did some great shops in Boots. I got refunds on:-

    A TS shampoo (Picked up 4 by mistake and they are on 342)
    3 x Nivea Boost day cream (Which I thought had 400pts on. - They didn't)
    So got £14.24 refund.

    Shop..1
    4 x showergels £6.00
    1 x Nivea Q10 cleanser £4.99
    Cost = £10.99 & 424 pts + Pink voucher

    Shop.. 2
    2 x Nivea cleanser £9.98
    2x Cream eggs 75p (To bring spend to over £10)
    Cost = £10.73 & 800 pts + Pink voucher

    Shop.. 3
    4 x Hair colourant £7.76 (only 1 colour reduced and it was mine:D )
    1x Nivea Q10 cleanser £4.99
    Cost = £12.75 & 428 pts + Pink voucher

    Shop.. 4
    No 7 P & P Gift set £20.00
    Scar reduction serum £3.99
    Highlighter powder... Free
    Gwp... Free
    Pink voucher
    Highlighter voucher
    Cost =£18.99 & 375 pts + Pink voucher


    As I went to pick up another set of the PP & P I noticed that my 10% HC had not been deducted, so I went back taking another set with me
    I explained to the assistant who was lovely, and the next purchase worked out like this
    .
    Shop.. 5
    No 7 P & P gift set £18.00
    gwp... Free
    Credit £ 3.63
    Pink voucher - £ 5.00
    Cost £ 9.37 & 52 pts + Pink voucher

    So for a total of £28.36 I got 2 x P & P Gift sets, 2 x gwp 1 x Highlighter powder and 1 scar reducing serum.( SA actually gave me 10% off the Full price of everything including the serum which was reduced and off the highlighter powder which was free. :T

    So I spent £48.54 cash + the money from my refund, and ended up with all the above. and almost £20 in points. I received 5 vouchers and spent only 2 of them. I also used some points vouchers from the ACM for the scar serum and 75pts wys £7.50.

    Was it all worth it....... well you know the answer to that one.:rotfl: :rotfl:

  • Finally managed to sit down for more than 5 mins before I catchup on the posts I'll tell you about my unsuccessful Bootsing on Sunday :(

    Got the No7 Cocooning Body Balm (love it :happyhear )
    no7 High lighter
    NO7 GWP

    Vouchers used in this order:
    Tried to use 250 points from current No7 GWP. BEEP!
    Free Highlighter worked ok
    £5.00 off No7 or RM (current pink voucher)

    So all the above for £7.50 :j But was slightly gutted that the points voucher was not accepted as this would have made it £5.00. Apparently would not work as I had the GWP and can not be used with any other offer.

    Second trip to the tills
    No7 Eye Lash Curler £4.99
    No7 High Lighter
    2x meal deals
    some bits and bobs!

    Tried to use 250 points from current No7 GWP. BEEP! AGAIN!!
    Free Highlighter. BEEP! SA asked and waws told to put it through manually as I should have bought an item of skincare to get it free.
    £5.00 off No7 or RM (current pink voucher)

    The 250 points voucher was handed back to me. And I was handed another pink £5.00 voucher as I had spent over the £10.00.
    However, it was only as I ws walking out of the store checking my receipt to gloat over my bargains (!) the £5.00 voucher that I had handed over and had been scanned it was not showing on my receipt!!!:mad:

    When I went back to the SA she didn't know what had happened. But to cut a long story short the tills apparently give us the best deals. So it worked out cheaper to let me have the High lighter than use the £5.00 off, as you do actually have to buy a No7 item to get the Highlighter free.

    Personally I didn't need that Highlighter as I already have a several :whistle: and would have preferred the free Eyelash curlers.
    But she did return my 'unused' £5.00 pink voucher and gave me another one for my trouble :beer: so effectively did get it free-ish.

    Looks like I'm going to have to buy dh something from the No7 mens range so that I can get my 250 points vouchers used as from the posts I have read so far these are the only things they work with!!!

    Make sure that if you use a £5.00 No7 RM Voucher it had been deducted if they have taken it off you before you leave!
  • Hi everyone! I thought i'd pop into Boots & see if I could bag a bargain or two today I still had No7 vouchers that I needed to spend too. I was in look as they were reducing all sorts of bits & bobs! I got the following:

    Boots Heat Shield Protecting Styling Spray - 30p
    Sensodyne Toothpaste - 45p
    Benefit Badgal Eye Pencil - £3
    Amazon Forest Selection Box x2 ( contains passion flower soap,brazil nut & vanilla body butter & mango & babassu body was) - £1.66 for some reason though these went through the til & it took off another 56p so I ended up paying £1.10 for each!

    Total spend £5.95

    This is better though - The SA is lovely who was reducing everything & she said that there was even more stuff in the boxes if I wanted to have a look & get any bits I wanted she would reduce them for me. I had a llok & there were 2 Protect & Perfect Beauty Serums. I asked how much they were going to be & she put them through & said £4.00! I took them both & grabbed 2 Highlights. I then headed for the ACM & printed out the 150 points vouchers for P&P! So,I got her to put them through seperatly & got 150 points on each plus the highlights & I used my £5.00 off vouchers so it was all free!!!!:T
    Our 1st baby is due 29th December 2007! :rudolf:
    I'm hopeful that this get's me out of cooking Christmas dinner!

    Baby Ruby arrived after 55 hours of labour & an emergency c section on Christmas Day at 14.41 weighing 6lb 6oz...And yes I did get out of cooking Christmas dinner!!:rotfl:

    Hahaha! I was just thinking should I nip to Boots in search of some bargains after reading the posts:D

    It's too cold and foggy though so i'll give it a miss for now.

    Saying that I have to pick the kids up at 3 and drop them off at an after school club till 5.......Loads of time to go to Boots.

    :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

    Do I really need a hatbox........:confused:

    Perhaps if all you young mums got together and asked Boots to provide a creche, imagine the fun you could all have.:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:
