All Boots seems to have different policy’s. What happens in one does not necessarily happen in another. :mad:

Successfully getting some of the better glitches often depends on if the SA you pick is willing to try. Its sometimes sensible to buy some other things to 'disguise' your bargain. If the SA won't put it through, please don't make a fuss - they are only doing their job. Just try again another SA / store / day. It is a good idea to try and make a friend in a SA if possible.

Ipods are now being discontinued from Boots stores so if you want one grab it quick.

If you live far away it would be worth giving CS a call to check if the store you are heading to has any stock in.
Nintendo DS Lites will no longer be stocked in any Boots stores.

Am off to Boots later so thanks for the updates everyone!-don,t tell anyone l went yesterday as well!Got handsoaps reduced to 25 p -Boots own brand-in with soaps not clearence items,

freebiequeen84

woooooooo, a shiny new boots thread! I can't believe how fast these fill up....

Hesjane: 200ml bottle.....far cheaper than P&P body serum. Got to be worth a go.

But why is it

On-line only, available from 11th March 2008 to 25th March 2008

Are they suddenly going to stop selling it on March 26th

I think it may be that the offer is only between those dates Hesjane - I do't generally order off dot com so it is a bit frustrating! I will check later today to see how much it is instore (if they have it in yet!).

I can't decide whether to venture into town hit Boots and spend money I haven't really got or stay home and do some de cluttering, feeling a bit low today and not sure which would make me feel better

I_am_mad

Hiya I have just had some parenting vouchers through the post, I have got one that says save £2 on pantene shampoo but the shampoo is only 1.79 how will i make the most of this? Also do you still get free gift with pantene shampoo, or am i making that one up? thanks xx

Same dilemma whether shop or straighten here. I'm opting to stay home and clean as when the place gets too messy, that drops my spirits. A lady came by wanting to do a poll this morning, and I said no because I didn't want anyone to see the clutter!

freebiequeen84

i started trying to de-clutter last night, but I ended up making it look far worse than it started...things get worse before they get better I suppose.

I think we need to buy a larger house, then we could spread it out a bit more and it might not look quite so messy.
