Does anyone know what is the cheapest item to go through with 250 points when you buy Boots expert total body range . i have looked on .com but it is not clear what is in this range.Thanks

I can only see 4 products in the range here all the same price. There's a 100 points voucher in the mag for Expert too which you should be able to use along wih the ACM voucher.

Just had a call from my friend with the latest list for the half price health club offers which start on April 1st.

As mentioned in a previous post, Slim fast smoothies are coming on.

Going off:

Slimfast Soups
Home testing kits (diabeties, choletrol etc)
Boots upper arm blood pressure monitoe
Boots twin pregnancy testing kit
Novasonic popular plus
Pain Gone
Boots TENS machine
Tenscare TENS machine
Boots senna laxatives 100 pack
Boots sensitive skin antibacterial gloves
Adadin tablets 32 pack
Adadin extra tablets 32 pack
Anadin ultra liquid caps 32 pack

Like I say, these have come third party but I understand they are pretty reliable, but if they are wrong please don't shoot the messenger!

Oh you are so right that was me. I have the gait and back ache of a true long term bootser all that bending to sort coupons, swerving to avoid the no7 girls. Next time-ill be more organised and sidle up and whisper the secret code-Wheres the clearance section!!!!! I think you and I virtually cleared their Med soaps. I live in Brighton but often work around Worthing. If Im that way and spot anything I'll pm you-also get to Bognor too-like the Sas in there. If I spot anything I'll send it via Boots secret coding system-no Ill just pm you.

I thought you might have been an MSE bootser ! I was too shy to ask ! You weren't hiding down there by any chance were you, thought you might have swiped the last MF gwp lol ?!!?

I think I would recognise you again so i'll be sure to say hello ! I was with my DD (oldest). She's been off school with a bad cold/flu so I thought she could do with some fresh air . She was the reason I couldn't get any more soaps in Bognor yesterday ! Had to come away quick to get home for her.

I did point you out to her today and winked and she knew what I had spotted (a possible fellow MSE Booster !) I will have to get one of those flip album things as i've got all my coupons in a money bag and I keep dropping them all over the floor !

I was so wanting to put one of the med gift sets through today (£15) but I was really chicken with it ..... DD kept saying "go on mum, I dare ya"!

Likewise I'll be sure to give you the nod if I see any bargains . Pleased to have met you (kind of ! lol)

Another quick trip today, managed to get the Mediterranean glitch on the Almond, wheatgerm & milk bodywash and soap in Marketplace, that nice young lad upstairs. Did have a few other items so I don't think he noticed. Just read your post jtb2412, thanks for being brave enough to try it on these other items from the range, I'll give it a go tomorrow.

Managed to find another R&M brush on clearance for £1.75, the lipbrush this time, and used my £2 tillspit on it successfully, even though it says not to be used on reduced items or accessories. I'll be really happy if I come across a foundation brush too. I can't find a R&M cosmetics stand in any Durham Boots though so I don't know why the brushes were there, anyone know where it is?

Would love one, or maybe 3, of the No7 nail sets but no sign of any today in any of the Durham stores.

I got different mediterranean products with the soap in the market place. SA upstairs wouldn't let me (even though the till said OK) have it cos she scrutinised the voucher and said the wrong thing was free. So I went downstairs:D

where was the R&M brush? I don't want a brush but am I missing some clearance stuff? The clearance shelf I saw in the marketplace was pretty poor.

I too would love a No7 nail set (or 3!) but haven't seen any.

North Road still have the old style powders and pencils but no lip glazes. Market place and arnison centre only have the new style.

The store in Liverpool Street Station has just had self service tills put in -yay! Was far too hungover this morning to look for anything but food but will be testing them out next week for their voucher friendliness!:j

Okay, I had to nip out for some last minute groceries (unexpected guests tomorrow so need to bake) and, horror, had to take the kids with me as Hubby had gone to pub. After thirty minutes in the supermarket with my two monsters I felt I needed to calm my nerves and how better than looking into Fort Kinnaird Boots to see if they had the Mediterranean soap?

Children rebelled. Negotiations took place. I ended up agreeing to leave them in the car outside (they are nearly 12 and 6) with a packet of crisps each and...get this...the potato masher and long tailed comb I had just bought. Are the maternal minds here collectively boggling at this? Well, my excuse is that I was in a weakened state after the supermarket.

Anyway, in I went and discovered that Fort Kinnaird does not stock the Med. soap. I wonder if this is why some ACMs do not give this till spit...the branch does not stock the product? This would make sense if so. So no joy there.

Then on the way out I looked again at the No7 counter which I had checked this very morning for nail kits...and there they were. SEL was £10 but I asked the nearest staff lady (the Arden rep) to check. "£10" she said, looking at the SEL and obviously thinking I was a bit of a numpty. I came out with the usual spiel about my friend (You're all my friends here, right??) having got one for £2.50 elsewhere, so she scanned it. £2.50, yehay!

She looked at me and looked at the not very full shelf and sort of went, in a low voice "They're 342 howmanydoyouwant?" like they were contraband or something. "Three" sez I and she handed me two more and then literally swooped on three more which she scuttled happily off with. I took mine up to the main tills and paid for them with points in front of a very impressed young SA. So though there were still some kits left on the shelf as of half an hour ago, I doubt they'll be there long.

But what a bargain these kits are! Four small No7 nail polishes in nice pink shades, clippers, scissors, an emery board and a set of fold out manicure tools, all for £1.60-ish of points. (If you buy 342) A set of nail clippers would set you back that alone, nearly. I will give one set to my sister as part of her birthday present and I've got a friend with a birthday coming up too. What a deal...so thanks to whoever posted about this first!:T

Oh, and back to the kids and the potato masher...they were in hysterical giggles when I got back to the car but there was no blood and they said they'd had a great time, and could they come Bootsing with me again?

Does anyone know if 400points is still on Nivea Q10? If so is it on 342, 1200points for £9.98 spend? Probably wishful thinking, lol!!!

Nice to almost have met you too. The blue thing I keep the vouchers in is a mini file thingy(Im so precise with my descriptions) that Wilkinsons were selling a while back-handbag sized, has a secure fastening so no loose vouchers and loads of separate compartments for different vouchers. I was kind of hiding not from you-I was trying to find a receipt I needed for this job I was doing ,in the bowels of this bag I have that I truely believe was made by the same people who invented the Tardis.

Re MF GWP-nothing in there today-Brighton has the yellow and pink bags or had them but haven't seen the lola rose ones in a while anywhere down here.

Happy Sussex bargain hunting-might try that Med giftset tommorrow-what a godd idea.
