A fabulous shop for me this morning

Printed off my vouchers from the ACM (2 x UG half price cond. and 2 x med. soap) and off I trotted...... first to the No7 stand, where I managed to get 3 nail kits (SEL said £10 but I knew better ), then off to the med. section where there were 3 soaps winking at me. Popped 1 into basket along with the almond body wash (wanted to try it on something "cheaper" first!).... a quick detour to the UG stand, shampoo & conditioner into basket and off to the tills went I.

The SA put everything through, I handover over the vouchers, she scanned, they didn't beep (hurrah) and then she said "hang on a minute..... (oh !!!!!! I thought!) this has taken off the body wash instead of the soap". Me: "really? oh gosh". She then called over to the SA at the next till "Margaret*, this voucher is wrong, it's taken off the body wash and it's supposed to take off the soap". Marge replied "really Joyce*, well if that's what thepmsl at thi till says, then it must be right" (I'll be going to YOU next thought I). Joyce congratulated me on my bargains and off I went again.

I got the blue gift bag the 2nd time and the UG shampoo & cond. again (in a feeble attempt to disguise my purchases!) and off I went to Marge. Eyebrows raised she said "so, you think you're going to get this free?". I went bright red and stuttered "er..... hopefully?" and she put it all through and it worked She looked absolutely amazed and handed over my bag (slightly begrudgingly I thought!) and I then legged it

As I was leaving, I glanced back and Marge was getting up from her chair and looked like she was logging herself off her till. Going to get the last soap and gift bag maybe?!

I bored H ALL the way home in the car about it..... am still high as a kite now (this was the Coventry Central 6 store btw, to add to the list of stores that it works at).

*names have been changed to protect the innocent. No SAs were harmed in the purchasing of these bargains.

pmsl at the last bit.. and I love your signature too!!!!!!!!!! well done you! :beer:

hi i've been reading this thread for a few weeks now and loving it! i tried the med glitch at Exe bridges retail park in Exeter and it worked! got body scrubs with the soaps. BUT scanner stopped working so sa had to type barcodes in manually and thought she'd notice, but all she said was 'wow thats cheap'! got 8 items for £6 when one body scrub is £7.50. (2 vouchers from my card, 2 from my mums)
no nail kits, no hat boxes, no expert tins, no s+g sets, and ted baker bags were full price. Gutted.

welcome lilyblossom!! what a lovely name!

Hey!! Any Bristol Bootsers!! I went to Avonmeads at lunchtime and there is a clearance section between the perfume and sun lotion. Some S&G Pin Doc Sets, eye/lipliners n other stuff 2. Also does anyone know if the Med glitch works anywhere in Bristol?

Did you feel nervous?

Which SA did you go to?

Glad the glitch is still working ladies (and gents !) :T

I had a horrible feeling that they would realise this morning and fix the tills/computers but it appears that's not the case !

Think i've had my 'quota' of med vouchers though so i'm waiting for the next glitch that comes along:cool: .

Had to chuckle at the comment (can't remember who said it, sorry!) about the coupons being in the back of the magazine and a national soap shortage .... gave me something to smile at after a bad morning at work (end of financial year ....... ugh !)

Agree with the comments about Boots knowing what they're doing. Hubby thinks it's all manipulated to make us spend more money (e.g. as was said before, putting extra things in your basket to hide the glitch) .... he's very synical !!! But hey, some of us are brave enough to just go and get the gift sets with the soap on their own and I don't think Boots bank on some of us being so upfront (for want of a better word)! (not me, I was too chicken lol) - wish I had gone for it now though :rolleyes:

No boots for me for a couple of weeks (all spent up ! ) Will watch you ladies with eager anticipation though

A huge thanks for this glitch - worked for me lunchtime.

And a big thank you to my dear friend Pash for the heads up.

I always say you'll be sick to death of the stuff by the time you start the 3rd bottle, so no point grabbing hundreds!

Anyone know if the med glitch works at works at Beckton?
