Receipt says total saving of £3.50, but most things were entered manually, so not really showing the 'true' saving.

Should the Fcuk have been on 3 for 2?

I *think* its just mens fcuk minis? not 100% sure though

Thanks msmumofone I only looked twice as all of the Fcuk's been on either 3 for 2 or 1/3 off all week. Or something

Those Fcuk sprays look nice for a pink-themed hamper btw.

Soap & Glory's Get A Smooth On Gift Bag £15

I've seen a different one instore, a plain pink bag priced at £10 I think when the 1/3 off S&G was on a few weeks ago, not sure what's in that one though.

question: if you dont have your card, and you want to use Points coupon, can you get the coupons scanned and the receipt validated? (witht he extra points?)

I went into boots today and i regretted going into it.

i went to get SG jam session. and a free toothbrush. Found a 50p SG coupon on the bottles so i thought...eureka. went to till..and my SA put the SG and toothbrush thru. then she asked for my card,..and i COULDNT find it...... so she refused to put my SG points thru, saying that she cannot scan points coupon without an AC??)

to make it worse,.,,..she had already scribbled on my 50p coupon..so no hope of cancelling the transaction and getting the coupon back.... i asked for my receipt to be validated and she said ok.

so i ended up with a toothbrush and SG, and total to pay was:
4.49 (-50p voucher and 1p toothbrush)

and points was 16...according to my mental calculation. butwhen she handed me my receipt,....i realised that she had not validated my receipt.... and iwas told that there isno point cancelling the transaction and repeating as my SG coupon wont scan anymore..... so i thought..fine..i'll just return the SG in another store. it was then that i realised ...the SA had not scannedmy SG coupon, but did a price reduction on the SG...making it 4.50...so nopoint returning,a s i will only get 4.50 back. at this point,.

also,..doesanyone know what to do if the stuff you bought from boots expired? I bought a reduced Trevor sorbie hair balm last week.only used it for 5 days andmy scalp is itching.(i have very bad skin and sensitive scalp). I had to soak my hair and scalp in yoghurt solution to calm it down.

thought i may be allergic to ingredients,so cheked them and they seem to be the normal ingredients in hair products.

then......at the bottom of the bottle, i realised that it is written "BBE Feb 2007" am i right in thinking that BBE stands for best before end? istill have the receipt stating that the item was purchased last week. what should i do?

Give CS a call and explain the situation.
They'll probably tell you to take the item back to the store and to tell the staff to fill in a product enquiry form (or something along those lines)...they should then offer u a refund. If ur head's still itchy maybe see the pharmacist there too.

hope u feel better soon!:o
