OMG:eek:

I just added up all my Jan/Feb Boots receipts and then added on the .com order values. I have spent a total of £447.60 in Boots since the beginning of the January sale and the infamous High Lights mag voucher. Sounds worse than it is though cos I have practically sorted birthdays and Christmas for the year and I have a HUGE family (between DH and me we have 18 brothers and sisters, let alone our kids, nieces, nephews etc etc etc etc etc:rotfl:)

But I also calculated the points per pound average I have been getting and it is brilliant. I have a whopping £196.27 on my AC. At Christmas I had 80p left on it after Christmas shopping....so that means I have gained £195.47 in points since Christmas (mostly thanks to No. extra point vouchers from No 7 gift sets in the sale and the GWP...but also some fab extra point offers on .com....oh....and all the virtual babies my family have had for me!)

Based on my £447.60 spend that is a massive 43.67% points (or 43.67p for every £1 I spend in Boots). (Good job my DH doesn't read this thread:o)

I have to say though that things will definitely ease up once the mag voucher£5 pink voucher offer finishes because having scanned the new mag voucher list there is not anything there that will really make me want to spend, spend spend

...not even the FREE 17 lip glaze?

Gosh, you have spent rather a lot of money;) I'm too afraid to add up my reciepts. I think the shock would be too much:rotfl:

I regret using up my last mag voucher for free high lights yesterday. Since there are reports of the 5.00PC scanning ok now. I don't need more highlights, but I do need to use the PC, and I wouldn't say no to another GWP:D

I was worried about adding up all my receipts....but as almost all the shop purchases have been made with GFs I am not too worried. Friends and family are giving me Boots GFs now and I have several to work my way through (thank you gift to me for photoshoots I do for them as I never, ever charge anyone except for the cost of photos and frames). So in reality most of my Boots shopping is guilt free anyway....and they give me a GF thinking I will get £40 or £100 of stuff for myself...and in reality I get far more than that cos I maximise the mag voucher and GWPs...then that gives me more points and so it goes on...and on....and on...and on!

Hmm I have a photo of the Scar Serum to post - but I can't see how
What a numpty I am!
:rotfl:

You need to upload the image onto some webspace, Photobucket for example, start your forum post, click on the "insert image" link which looks like two mountains on a stamped postcard then copy paste the url into the pop up box.

hi went to trafford centre on mon night - had s&g sets and accessorize boxes at full price near ground floor entrance - part of mothers day display i think. Even got SA to scan S&g set but came up at £15.00!!

Where do they normally have reductions/clearance in this store?

Thanks
:cool:

Next time, drag SA to the shelf.
If you look on the mothers day stand (upstairs) it says 1/3 off on S&G products *on this shelf* And i know the sets that are on that shelf (sad i know), and Steamy Showers (£15) definately is!
So where it actually states £15 for the valentine's set, it *should* scan for a 1/3 less = £10. Athough some lucky blighters are finding it for £5! :eek:
I'd try again with this ammo if i were you hun.

That's not so bad then...actually, that's great:D I, on the other hand spend cash mostly. Now you know why I won't add up my reciepts;)

Looking at the list of coupons on the new magazine, it looks like it will be a chance to clean up on 17 products. If I understand it correctly, you can get a free lip glaze with any 17 purchase, and 17 products are 3 4 2, and online it says you get a free lip pallette with any 5 pound purchase of 17. If they let you have all of those offers together, you could spend 6 or 7 pounds to get your 3 items (one free), and then get the lip pallette and glaze, too. Wow, I don't even need anything else really, but I may have to grab some 17 products!

I think the ones at the front or the store are the mothers day gifts not the valentines ones, i dont know where they keep the reduced stuff here, i've been in a few times for the p & p sets but they never have them, will try urmston & stretford and let you know if i find any bargins.

Cheers fellow Mancunian Bootser

PS: No P&P sets at Traf Centre for past week, 1/3 off FCUK, TB and S&G upstairs near back of shop under 'soaps' an go to Manchester Fort for lots of P&P sets

100 pt PC voucher for 17 foundation...so even better. And I had just decided I wasn't go to bother:rolleyes:
