    if you buy 3 No7 men's on the 342 how many vouchers from the mag can you use - is it only one per transaction even though you have bought 3 items?

    Jillybobs - this was all from the Basingtoke town centre store first thing this morning. The staff didn't realise everything had been reduced again until I got a price check :rotfl:

    I am so jealous Curlylocks!!! I live in Manchester so no luck there for me. My brother-in-law is in Basingstoke today - wish I'd known earlier - I'd have sent him on a mission!!! Bet you'll be pampering yourself this evening!!! Don't you just love it when you get bargains?

    Today I did three purchases of 17 Ultimate Volume lip gloss using £1 off from the ACM, a lip glaze with a free mag coupon, and a free eye palette. FYI, it didn't beep and went through the till fine; the SAs (I got a different one each time) didn't bat an eye, other than to say it was a good bargain or that they wanted one!

    My question is this: Has anyone who has bought the 17 Ultimate Volume lip gloss noticed if it came sealed in plastic or not? I got home and brushed on one shade, then noticed that another shade was sealed in plastic. Which made me think someone had opened my 1st lip gloss and tried it on in the store. Then I noticed that my third lip gloss also wasn't in plastic. I can't imagine why 17 would seal some but not all. But if that's the case, I won't worry about the ones not in plastic. But if everyone else's came in plastic, I may see if I can exchange the two "open" ones for identical colors that are sealed.

    Another fyi: The Trevor Sorbie PC coupon for a free conditioner now goes through the till without beeping (this is the one that a SA refused to use last week, telling me I had the wrong kind of shampoo -- I bought the same thing this week with no problem). The TS is on sale 2 for £7, so even though you got one for free, the register takes off £1.98 multi-buy discount. That's about £2.51 to pay. It's down to 51p if you still have a £2 haircare voucher (which I did, but forgot to use as I was so anxious about the PC coupon and 17 coupons working!). You can also get 100 points with the Trevor Sorbie ACM coupon (which I *did* remember to use). So if you play your cards right, they will pay you 49p to take two premium haircare products out of the store.

    Mine never came in plastic either i didnt question it as the SA had just taken them out the drawer so im sure itll be fine for you!!! I have stickers all over mine also!!!

    The SA would only take one as it 'says clearly only one per transaction' .Can't split them up as would lose 342.Thought was best to put 3 items through together and keep the other vouchers for next time as they are valid until 6th May.

    I'm still a newbie, this is only my 2nd post. Since reading this, and the previous thread I'm now visiting every Boots I come across in Newcastle, Gateshead, North Tyneside.
    I have managed to get 2 of the Wisdom toothbrushes for -1p on separate buys from the relocated store in Gateshead town centre, as it already has them advertised at half price. I think the larger stores have cottoned on.
    In Newcastle today I bought a 58p No 17 eye pencil (got a SA to check the price first as was showing full price on the stand) and got the free lip glaze.
    Then tried the Mediterranean almond pistachio & olive soap free with the ACM voucher by buying another of the same soap. The till beeped at this, so a manager checked with another product from the range, it beeped again, she said 'its not working', apologised and did an override - so 2 for 1.50. Thought I'd done well until I saw todays post about the glitch on the rest of the Mediterranean range......
    Spotted a lonely Expert post-pregnancy (I'm not) volumising hair conditioner on clearance for 37p so had to have it to use the 100 points voucher. The rest of the clearance items weren't up to much but at least now I know where the clearance shelves are!
    Also all the Sanex range is on buy one get one free, even though the signs were only on the bubble bath, so stocked up on my favourite roll-on deodorant (dermo invisible - I would recommend as it really does minimise white marks and smells lovely). A bargain as works out at 59p each.
    Got home, made a coffee and read through the latest posts on here - its addictive. Still think I need to plan my trips to Boots better but am pleased with my buys so far. Thanks again for all the advice on here, I so want to be able to discover a glitch and let you all know about it.

    Bought 6 Soap and Glory sets, 4 bottles of Champagne, 2 Hatboxes and 2 Ted Baker mini perfume thingy's - I just couldn't carry any more!

    Jillybobs - this was all from the Basingtoke town centre store first thing this morning. The staff didn't realise everything had been reduced again until I got a price check :rotfl:

    Does anyone know how much the Champagne and the Ted Baker sets were full price? I would love to compare orginal prices with what I paid today.

    I am gutted!

    Waited in all day for a parcel to be collected, and in my bones, I had said I want to go to Basingstoke today with all these reports of cheap S & G. As I remembered there were loads upstairs!!!

    I'd be dead chuffed to take off your hands any excess s&g, hat boxes, champers or perfume sets! I have 3 pregnant friends so champers would be great for when babies are born and want to donate lots of QUALITY stuff to one of the mum and baby raffles coming up as it is to keep the club open and I only have ted baker mens sets and winnie hot water bottle covers at the moment! If you do get any then use your points and I'll give you the £'s.

    I'm desperate to find out...has anyone else tried the pink no7 GWP or Expert GWP without any other purchase that some have got going through? I'd love these for the raffle as I sent all the no7 GWP's to my mum in cyprus as she knows lots of ladies who are a bit hard up. Will not send any more as cost me a FORTUNE!!!
