    Do they have a clearance section ? (and where is it ?) :o
    Do they have Max Factor GWPs ? ;)
    Do they have Expert tins ? :p

    I have not seen any of the MF GWP in Peterborough and there are no signs up about it .Could be a regional thing?

    Sorry to be a pain (this has probably already been covered!), but can someone just confirm that this will work:

    Olay total effects hand cream
    2 x Olay cleansing milk.

    Give "free wipes, cleansing milk, toner or fash wash" vch from PC

    Till takes off 1 milk for 3 for 2
    Till takes off 1 milk for vch

    So just have to pay for the hand cream? Even though the vch doesn't actually say "hand cream" it says "Olay total effects moistoriser"?
    I think it has to be fragrance free hand cream which is £6.47, don't think it works with the £4.47 one, but anyone correct me if they've got it to work. You might only get the FF at larger stores, my local didn't have.
    HTH

    Thanks and sorry :o

    ps. anyone else not able to get onto .com? I've been trying for the last 10 minutes to try and check exactly which hand cream I need. Grrrrrr.

    Make sure you get the dearer Fragrange Free Total Effects Hand Cream £6.49 as the normal one £4.99ish is not in 342.
    Today I got FF Hand Cream, Olay wipes, RoC wipes and gave Olay voucher so 2 x £4.49 taken off, 1 for voucher the other 342 then used £5 RoC voucher so £3ish to pay (sorry can't find receipt with exact prices on).

    So yes you should just pay for hand cream HTH

    What??? The ROC GWP goes through free with no other ROC purchase? :eek: How did I miss this?!!

    Oh, Jelly Tots...... my lists take me ages too, you're not alone. I even have to write next to each item (where appropriate) which vch(s) to use or I forget :o
    You can't control everything in life....... your hair was put on your head to remind you of that :p

    Have found it on .com now. Yep, the cheaper one isn't in the 3 for 2.

    Thanks again :)
