I again said to the young SA as she took it out of the basket, that they were giving them away as it was an old GWP.

Well, technically, they are. If they want to put an item on the shop floor and price it at £0.00, good for Boots. Who are we to refuse?

Having said that, what's the cheapest item MF sell? If folk (like me) are a bit shy about trying to get one of these then it might be worth buying a small MF item as well. Presumably then the SA might be more inclined to let it go through, and you can always remark gormlessly that you thought it came free with any MF item if challenged. Also, if Boots spot the glitch but are still getting a few more MF sales out of it then they might just let it pass. Never know...

Bit of a moot point for me though. The nearest MF counter to me is in Princes St branch (if anyone is interested) and I will not have a snowball's chance of getting to it to try this glitch, not this week. Och well. You win some you lose some. I'll go and chear myself up by rearranging my Sanctuary shelf in the stash cupboard.

To save me having to open it unnecessarily, does anyone know if the Kyphi hatbox thing has any vouchers inside please?

No it doesn't. The box does open quite easily though, and there's a nice pile of stuff in there. Good buy with the GWP. I got one too.

I think the cheapest thing is eye shadow, about £6.50? I remember once buying one to get another GWP.
You could always say that there was some eye shadow in your basket, then make out it must have fallen through the slits on your way to the till if challenged.

Its a really lovely box isn't it?
It was a toss up between that and the Sanctuary one thats silver with an orange band and a zip, that's the same price and seemed to have a lot in it. I liked the Kyphi box better though, don't know what it smells like....might be horrible!!

By the way, I was watching on Ebay a couple of the MF GWP that we have been looking out for in Boots. One went for 99p plus £4 postage, and another went for £1.04 plus £2.99 postage. There are some more on starting at 99p, another starting at £5:eek:

I just added a note to my long post above for you, about hatboxes still being £9 at VC.
