    the £5 beauty vouchers they're giving out... what are they for? ANY beauty stuff or just stuff from say the no 7 range etc? also, can you use more than one of these vouchers in a transaction? ie if i had £11 worth of qualifying beauty products could i just hand them 2 vouhcers then pay a pound?


    Not sure what they are for. Think you can only use 1 per transaction - not sure. But can get £5 of free stuff if you do use just one I believe. This is going by the electrical voucher T&C's...

    While in Boots....check out their 'Natural Collection' section. In my Boots yesterday there was lots in the sale and all the NC is BOGOF at the moment. Got a couple of gift sets for £2 each....so they work out at £1!
    Thanks to Boots I almost have my christmas shopping done!
  • Don't bother in Greenford (WestWay/WestCross whatever it's called) - girl told my mum that they don't have anything like that in stock..... "we haven't been told to clear any of that type of stuff, so there won't be any about, sorry" apparently...... :(
    Everyone has a photographic memory, it's just some of them don't have film.
  • HI- i used by voucher yesterday. I paid £4 for two of those ruby and millie sponges (so get 500 points), plus some cheap razors to ge tthe order over 5 quid. so for a 5 pound spend, i got hte £5 vouchger back and 500 points. not bad!! The voucher can be used on a range of stuff- from memory- danielle ryman, no7 (skincare only i think), botanics skincare, erm...cant remember the others. worth getting anyway.

    this is pants i went to the big one in nottingham and she said that boots had no intention of reducing karen millen or urban decay-what a wasted journey-sorry to sound miserable but had high hopes of filling my boots.

    When i asked about the clearence stock boots told me that they had £20,000 worth of this stock to sell, they had shipped it over to southampton who sent it back to the IOW as they couldnt sell theirs either (dont know if theirs is reduced?) that is why it was reduced so much. I did go back to get some more but someone beat me to it and brought the entire clearence stock. I was not happy.

    It might be only some of the boots stores that are not continuing these ranges.

    Sorry if anyone had a wasted trip but it was worth a try.

    Ooh, nice one!! :T
    Do you have to have a voucher from the machine for the Ruby & Millie 500 pts or do they get added automatically???

  • the points are automatically added. there are the sponges which are 2 pounds each, or the next up is the little powder puff things that are £3.50 each. Dont thank me- got this tip from someone else on the boots bargains thread :j . good when combined with receiving the skincare voucher though!

    Its the usual 8 brands they have had vouchers before for. I think that you would only be able to use one voucher per transaction.

    So then if your total shopping then came to £10 you would get another voucher. (I dont think the £10 total spend voucher extra points would count either)

    So far its been suggested facial wipes are a good use of your £5 skincare voucher and also Botanics pore perfection, 2 for £6. Any others?
