Broclo- how long will it take you to get through 93 packs of wipes?!
And do you have a big enough space to keep them in
The wipes seem a good price but as you say that's a lot of cash to spend :eek:

Maybe just do shop 1 as you need the safety gates anyway

Till he is 3(1 on tuesday)plus I have 60 huggies and expert upstairs, so enough for over 153 weeks, so till he is 4 really :rotfl:
I have fitted wardrobes in his room, which are just for storage as he has his own wardrobe(rented accom). Currently it is full of 1st birthday pressies from boots/amazon/tesco toys from the sales, so will be a tripple wardrobe free on tuesday lol

Mind you...could lways put my clothes in it, that I do not have room for in my wardrobe...novel idea I know :rotfl:

Cheers me dear! You're an :A

That's a LOT of wipes :rotfl: I can't believe how organised/ prepared you are!
Of course the big downside is that if another glitch comes up on wipes during the next 3 years you'll not be able to get any more :eek:
Don't know if I could handle Boots cold turkey :rotfl:
Hope he has a lovely Birthday :j

Yes, paper voucher is equivalent of cash,gift card etc.you will get normal points, extra points from acm vouchers or any other points vouchers.
you dont get any points if you pay with points.Thats why its hard for us to 'spend' points.

great news, i'll be able to use a few points vouchers and double points as well then. Thx for your help.

thx to Minx as well

No idea sorry, I get millions of emails but nothing via the post - have had my card years but only really used it since Xmas. DH had a few vouchers when I signed him up for an advanatge card recently but nothing since.

Wonder if its to do with the order they are scanned in ie if you put the wash first you may get the soap free IYSWIM as on the receipt OP had soap scanned first then body wash free!

The order of products on the receipt has nothing to do with the order they were scanned, the till automatically rearranges everything from highest to lowest price and into each offer group (eg bogof and 3for2)

Had a great shop today, the first time in Boots for almost 2 weeks. I missed out on the free wisdom toobrush, but managed to ge loads of reduced ones for 50p each in a small branch. The smile ones were BOGOF which I had not realised neither.

I moved onto a larger branch armed with my list, but did not bother with most of it. I bought

Go Naked Travel goody bag reduced to £5

2 x pink/white/blue stripey cases with make up brushes and mirror etc £1.50 each (great for hampers)

1 x Jungle formula roll on insect repellennt reduced to £2.49

1 x Valeline intensive care stick deodorant reduced to 95p

1 x pair blue aristoc angora socks reduced to £2.50 from £10 (Georgous)

1 x Boots lip care & gloss reduced to £1.14

1 x Boots essentials hairspray reduced to 40p

Free chicken soft toy from the SA

Expert dry mouth spray (Half price with AC voucher) £2.24

expert dental mirror £1.34

Could not find the free expert tin anywhere.:cool: (Can anyone please tell me which section it is in)

Umberto Giannini (White one) shampoo & conditioner 2 for £1.50 with haircare tilsplit and ACM voucher.:j :j Could only get 3 x ACM vouchers and had 4 tillsplits so used the last one for a JF serum £1.95. So I have 6 shampoos/conditioners for £4.50. Even the assistant was gobsmacked and said she was going to do the same transaction later.

Also found the big ted baker bag for £4.50 (The 3 section one) More pleased with this than anything. I have been after it from when I first saw it on display.

Returned a perfume, and exchanged it for a 50ml Gucci by Gucci, and got the 1500 pts.
So ended up with 2068 extra pts today. :T :T

All in all a great day as today we paid off our mortgage. All down to M.S.E, as it was this site that first gave us the idea and the incentive. So thanks to everyone for all the tips that helped us achieve our goal, to be mortgage free. It is a great feeling. :T :T :T
