    Does anyone know how long they are giving these vouchers out? I was in yesterday a.m. and they had run out of vouchers on all but one till. A small shop so there were only 3 tills anyway but just wondering?

    Was in Boots today and checked the Advantage machine got 2 vouchers 1for 100 points on any product in the Botanics bath care range and another for 150 points on any product in the Boots complete skincare range....I saw some foot gel on the Botanics range for £2.49 but when I got to the till it was £1.24so in effect got it for £0.24!!! I got moisturiser @£1.99 from the Boots complete skincare and 150 points therefore in effect paid £0.49......Happy Days...:j

    Unsure if this is the right place but move if need to cheers
    In boots yesterday I received a print out list of b.o.g.o.f.s from the advantage machine, on it was Intuition razors and blades. I took 2 of the ones with £3. off stickers on the front to the till. The checkout girl scanned them and said that they wern't on the offer. I was tempted to push the matter but didn't now where I stood. Anybody know the legallity?

    I picked up 4 of these in Boots today all had the £3 off voucher on and priced at £3.14 and also found the bogof offer on the advantage machine which I printed out and took to the till, they bogof offer didn't work at the till so I showed the cashier the printout and she went to check with the manager. She came back and said the manager told her to put it through at bogof but she would have to scan each razor at full price because they had £3 off vouchers on them, then I said that means that I'll still pay £12.56 and Intuition were giving the £3 off voucher on the product not Boots, then she said I'm going for my break soon so I'm going to put them through for you.
    So I got 4 x Intuition razors for £6.28 and a £5 skincare voucher and £12 in vouchers to use in Waitrose.
    Also while I was there I used 2 x £5 skincare vouchers on the 4 x Botanics pore perfection sets total cost = £2
    Very happy bunny today.

    i tried to use my voucher on 2 of the pore perfection gift sets £6 each but very small shelf label said 2 pore perfection items for £6. she left 1 set to the side as said i should get another voucher to use with that (didnt as after £5 voucher shop was £3 odd) - said should be 2 for £6 anyway. she said not on those & checked with someone else too who said not. just took 1 but after reading this it seems everyone else is getting the offer! can i return the one i have & try again do u think? i know they will refund with voucher not cash but is ok. are there 2 different packs aswell cos 1 i looked at had a big cleanser in am sure but 1 i have bought (just grabbed another off shelf) has big clay mask in.
    Cleaning the house while children are growing is like shovelling snow when it's still snowing!

    The 2 that I got are Pore perfecting facial kits (clarifying) it includes 1x clay mask sachet, toner, moisture lotion and light night cream.
    The other sets are very similar but don't have Pore perfecting on them.
    It might be worth taking the one you have back and asking if you can exchange it for 2 of the Pore perfecting sets which are definitely on offer.
    Good luck
    :)

    Well done Sparky :) Hmm, wonder why the BOGOF doesn't work on the tills... Hope I'll be able to find the offer on the machine next time I'm in Boots! Wish me luck, I'll definitely try this ;)

    I found those intuition razors today, £3 off, £3 voucher on them so 2 for just over £6 with a £5 voucher and £6 to get back in Asda or Tesco!

    Are these BOGOF only with the machine voucher? Found some in my local store today but no sign of BOGOF, just reduced. We don't have a machine either :(

    Edit: Remember it is last day for triple points so don't forget to top up mobile phones with £15 and get £5 voucher aswell.................:)

    Hi Dormouse.
    There isn't a voucher from the machine that needs to be scanned, I got it when it gets to the screen that says "we have many other offers print list"
    I noticed online it's bogof but they are full price. I must say that although it took a while to sort out it was all very amicable.
    Good luck if you have a go and make sure you get the skincare voucher too.
    :)

    Yeah, I kinda figured that out :) which is why I thought it might be a bit tricky to get them to apply the BOGOF! But hey, definitely worth a try!
