I have a 500pts wys £10 on baby stuff

Q3. Likewise and probably an easier example - if I got 4 pks of huggies wipes on bogof i'm thinking it would be £4.98 towards my total, now if i used 4 x £1.25 off - would that be as payment or would it take my total down and throw out the 500pts?

The Huggies coupons will count as payment if the coupons are from Huggies.
If the coupons are from Boots, it will take the total down.

hi all! hello ms cheeky. when i went in ips the other day they only had the td bags which were full price. im wondering now if they will reduce them or if possibly i had got it scanned it was cheaper already. in felixstowe yesterday they had the new tb bags out which looked nice! but obviiously not reduced and felixstowe had the berry ones but not reduced either.
not into any of the make up really, i tend to just stick with what ive got but going in after lunch. will definately see if theres anyleft and if so will scan them.

Q1. Would the till bleep if it was combined with a 500pts on £15?

Q2. Say if I used the above custard PC voucher would it be £2.03 or the total of the 3 packs towards the £10 spend?

Any help appreciated on this please - I want to get it right before I get to Boots as my brain tends to turn to mush as soon as I step through the door

It will work!!! I have done this before! And total came to £4.96 and got 612 in AC points!

Morning peeps

Completely lost on this thread now lol, but I'm sure I read that someone was totally confused about their shopping list, and all the vouchers needed etc.

Because I'm one of the worlds worst at being organised, I took an hour out on Sunday before I went shopping, and sorted out all of the vouchers from the ACM and the magazine vouchers.

As I still don't trust stores to accept other stores ACM vouchers without some sort of argument lol, I sat and made 3 piles from the 3 shops that I collect them from and wrote on a small notelet the shops names. Usually, and Jo_2k might back me up on this lol, I'm wandering around with a handful of vouchers and no idea where they're from or even what they're for!

The problem's compounded by the fact that I never take a shopping bag or handbag in - I attract too much attention from the security staff as it is lol.

This might be like teaching your Grandma how to suck eggs lol, but after I'd made the 3 piles, (and where applicable), I attached the various magazine vouchers to the ACM vouchers (easily identifiable from the printed numbers on the front) and wrote on the blank notelet what I intended to buy and whether there was a GWP involved, or an item to use the till spit with.

So I had, for instance, the magazine voucher for the Lip Glaze attached (c/o a paper clip ) to the £1 off Lip Gloss ACM voucher. Similar with the magazine & ACM vouchers for the Expert stuff and the free Med Soap. I'd put them in date order too, so I knew that I needed to get rid of the B1G1F on the photo frames & from which stores the vouchers were from. (I also made a memo to myself to check the ACM for points/money off ).

Then I popped on to this thread to jog my memory about what was on offer, and added them to the lists - nothing complicated - just a reminder to look out for the reduced bags etc.

I was a woman on a mission and it was a doddle! I sailed around the 1st store in double quick time, had 2 lots of 17 lip glaze, lip gloss, and gwps in the basket before I knew it - 1 lot for me and other lot for OH, who hates being in the cosmetics section As I was adding the items, I was sticking the various vouchers into the basket. Same for the Expert Dry Mouth, Facial spritz, Med soap & Bourjois sharpeners. ** Sharpeners etc, store permitting**

*Check that you've spent enough to obtain the till spit, if wanted. There's nothing worse than missing a voucher for the sake of a packet of gum.

The 2nd shop was even easier, and so it went on. It took minutes, and freed up loads of time to look around for any 'goodies' lol. It was the easiest and quickest days Boots shopping ever! I should add that not all the ACM & magazine vouchers were combinable, but I figured that was the job of the till, or SA.

This may seem like common sense to most of you seasoned Bootsers, but hope it helps someone who might be as ditzy as myself lol. I know I'm not the only one that shops haphazardly

Failing that, buy one of those photo things that most people have (me included now) and try it that way lol.

Off to get ready for the docs appointment now, but after that, I'll be filling in 3 more notelets then repeating the whole exercise when the new acm vouchers are issued later today (?) It should only take a few minutes.

P.S. This method is not recommended when the 75% sale's on :rotfl:

P.P.S. If you spot a good post as you're reading the thread, copy and paste it to notepad immediately, and repeat. Then print it out If anyone doesn't know how to copy and paste, (as I didn't at one time), just ask. Someone's sure to help.

Hope some of the above made sense. Have a great day x

Yes, worked for me. It does say on the voucher that accessories are excluded from the offer but if you ask the SA nicely just to try it then it should go through.
