Covent Garden store had the new mags today; does anyone know whether the current offer of 1/3rd off Soap & Glory 'indulgent bathing' is instore as well as online? If so, can it be combined with the 200pt coupon from the mag? The Spa shower gels are big 500ml bottles, so with the coupon they'd effectively be a bargain-tastic £1.33 if it works!

The store offers end on the 26/2 and the new mag ones start 27/2 so probably not combinable unless you have a very good sa. The new mags are not supposed to be out until March. I've been staring longingly at them in my Boots but they won't let me have one despite having no current ones. If I remember correctly I managed to get the last new mag early and tried to combine offers and till said no.

:T Also found 2 S&G valentines sets at Cheshire Oaks for £7.50 so snapped them up. They had quite a few of the Accesorize Hat Box sets too for £9 but didn't bother with these. There wasn't any reduced tickets on these, I only knew because I asked her to scan them. I told the SA that they were full price in another store (Bromborough) and she said that that can't be right because they should be the same

I did make a big mistake though because I bought a pack of the No7 wipes for £6.50 (but I did use 2x £5 off vouchers so wasn't really £6.50) at Ellesmere Port and then came across Nivea Facial Wipes at Cheshire Oaks reduced from £3.19 to 50p :eek: . These ones:
They also had the pink sensitive ones too. There were quite a few left and
they could be found with all of the other usual Nivea Facial stuff.

Have now got £126.87 on my AC so very pleased.

Can confirm they still have some S&G sets but the wipes are no more. They were wrongly reduced so sa had to take all the stickers off but not before leting me buy some.

How silly that they won't let you have any. They were available in at least 2 out 3 of my local stores yesterday (I only thought to pick up the 1 though).

We were discussing the other day about how many mags you are 'allowed' and if they have to be scanned or not. Well I asked a SA yesterday if they had to be scanned and she said Yes so that the they have an idea of stock levels. Apparently they get automatically ordered via the till system so if they aren't scanned then they end up running out because the till system thinks they have some left and doesn't know to order more. Hope that makes sense.

Oh dear :rolleyes: . Glad I snapped up 6 of them then, lol. The SA last night told me that she'd bought a load for herself too.

Can anyone make use of 4 x No7 High Lights vouchers? They've been in my bag for two weeks now so I figure I really don't want or need any highlighters else I'd have used the vouchers!

They run out on Tuesday so not much time left..

NOW GONE

They have some nice sales assistants there don't they? Might do all my bootsing there.

in case of wondering to top up for a pink voucher..........

if you have yourself a copy of pregnancy and birth mag (march ed) it has 13 pounds of huggies coupons, 4 are 1.25 off huggies wipes which in boots are bogof, so if you used them you would get 5 quid off your bill and 4 pks wipes, the coupons count as cash value towards the voucher
as for the other 8 x 1 pound ones...............taken no problem in asda or tesco
Hope that makes sense and if you don't use the wipes, they sell well at carboots for a pound a pack :rotfl:
hope that helps someone

Hi, again! As a change from whinging about not getting the P&P 200ml on-line glitch this morning, I thought I'd have a moan about my Bootsing trip yesterday! (Who's a happy little pixie today, then?!)

Couldn't get the P&P set (there I go again!) as it was all out of stock so I thought I'd try to cheer myself up with some Sanctuary stuff and the GWP. Chose 2 things that came to just over £10, picked up GWP and went to till (photography) .Lovely SA scanned the products as they weren't sure I'd spent enough for the GWP (I was - had spent ages figuring out what to buy!) and the GWP went through as free. Then I tried to use a £3 off from the Weekenders kit last year (expires 31st March) and it wouldn't scan. His colleague told him he needed the over-ride key, but when he got it from the main tills, another SA came over with him, scrutinised the Voucher and said I couldn't use it with GWP. Was really cross - had actually hoped I might be able to use two vouchers, as I had bought 2 products, but I couldn't even use one.

Stomped off round the shop for a bit, then decided to try at a different till this time (pharmacy - avoiding the SA from the main tills who'd said I couldn't have GWP and money off). I got the Lomi-Lomi giftset, as I'd managed that with no problem before. It went through without a hitch, money off coupon scanned, no over-ride necessary! Wonder what would have happened if I'd tried the original products at that till???I don't really want (let alone "need" another Lomi-Lomi set!!)

On a brighter note, I did remember to buy something extra to bring me up to the £10 needed for the £5 off voucher (forgot last time). Perhaps I'll go have one of the cream eggs now to cheer myself up!

Sorry to moan, but living in a male dominated household, I feel you lovely lot will be more sympathetic to my woes....

Thanks!

moan away and you do have my sympathy i also live in a male domoinated house and know excatly how you feel :eek:

Actually yes they do. When I think about it I've only ever had nice SAs in there. Birkenhead seems good too.

Had a great shop in there last night (posted about it about 1.30am this morning :eek: ).
