Remember that the Evian stuff was in Home bargains, I think I paid about £1.99 for the moisturiser there.

£1.49 actually.

I got some of the evian stuff today.A moisturiser and a set with moisturiser and face wipes.I think they were 3.49 and 4.49 respectively ,already half price according to the stickers . I thought reasonable value if I used the bogof voucher from the machine.but when I looked at the receipt,it had knocked even more off.I have no idea why ,but something similar happened to some-one else who posted here earlier,so it may be a widespread glitch in the stystem.
I actually paid £2.80 I think it was for the lot so even cheaper than home bargains!

I don't think anyone has posted this yet - you now only have to spend £5 on No. 17 cosmetics to get the free evening bag + costmetics, it was a £10 spend.

humbug! i don't get half of the vouchers you're all getting lol! i do get the primrose one though so i have a stock of shower gel for my gran for xmas, just wish our boots stocked the handwash lol! i don't get that cuticuria one either but i got the first aid kit voucher again so i did that and the assistant was very grumpy about it lol!

Hi Jellyhead, if you are buying more than one of the evening primrose oil shower gels or handwashes, do you have to do it in seperate transactions or can you buy multiple bottles and hand over one 100 points coupon?? Thanks

With the evening primrose stuff, I do them separately - never worked for me with several bottles and just one voucher.

It never gives me that offer, do I have to choose something other than my offers. :santa2:

Sadly, it seems you get offers tailored somehow, in what is offered. We don't all seem to get the same.

I always go to my offers too, at the moment I am getting a humongous amount of points offers, interspersed with the odd competition - about 16 pages to go through. I'm guessing it's based on my spending pattern which has gone a bit mad lately - I went to two of their shopping evenings and always seem to be popping in there.

The offers have changed for me recently, but not the whole batch. I've lost some things - like the 200 points on Alternatives, but there are new ones like Evian and Cuticura. Perhaps other ones will show for other people soon.

I thought I'd better go and top up my mobile today as it was the last day of triple points, and because Boots seems to have me in it's thrall at the moment I went back to get some Cuticura gel, a first aid kit and a nice hair product (Brilliant Brunette - most of it was marked down £1.50 in an offer). These had 850 points between them. I also got some stockings, a small present and a mince pie. As I keep trying *not* to spend money because I could use points (but don't because it never seems such a good deal...) and this was a £15-er I decided to use up my double points coupon... and it doubled the offer points instead of the normal points! :snow_grin

I've never had that happen before, but naturally I was quite pleased. :j

pardon my ignorance but is there really a big difference in AC machines around the country and if so maybe we could start mentioning where we got the deals

The difference is all about your own card and your cutomer account

Having said that some different size stores might get different dealsd due to what they stock, but as a whole advantage card details are worked out ont he basis of previous spending patterns and demographics.
