Thanks Broclo but i'm still confused, as you know from helping me in the past it takes a while before the penny drops, does the till see 4 x huggies wipes on BOGOF as £4.98 or £9.96 spend? So if i get bag of nappy sacks to push it over to £10.45 or would it only see as £5.47 IYSWIM then - 4 x £1.25 vouchers? ( i understand about the till seeing vouchers as cash)

Not sure what I have said, in how I would do the shop, was right anyway, but my undserstanding is that the total after boots reductions of BOGOF, acm vouchers etc is what you can use the points on. Therefore, it would be 8 packs of huggies needed.

KJ1980 where are you? Please neglect the kiddies and get on here! (My little fella likes to play with his shapesorter by himself after dinner, how wonderful that he does not like mummy interfering and will throw a paddy if she does )

I'm pretty sure others (passion8?!) have got it all. Maybe it is how you do it?

Ie: Hand over £3.79 lip pot, £3.79 lip gloss and GWP. Then the £1 off lipgloss from acm, then 'ooo look what I have' the free lip pot voucher from mag. Till says £2.79 and so SA can not argue. But maybe if you produce all at once they will. Try the old...lets see what the till says please!

Yeah this is what i did to get mine ( got a few now!) same scenario as the No7 GWp and the free highlight powder ~ all items first then produce vouchers!

new to the Boots thread.

Can anyone tell me about the Bourgois voucher as weston-super-mare had lots of the sharpeners (no tweezers or nail varnish remover).

My SA wouldnt give me the 17 GWP when I tried the lipgloss and free lip glaze as she said it had to be over £5 after discounts ?

Oh forgot about Tweezers/sharpener/nail polish remover...

The newer spits have not to be used with sharpener on, but some are finding it still goes through free and that it may need to be inputted manually.

So free for sharpener and 95p for tweezers, although I had 2 that went through at 49p?!

Nail polish remover has only worked for one or two people

Sam ~ did you see DH today ? He did say someone smiled at him today but he wasn't sure if it was you ...didn't want to make a fool of himself.

Works this way done it a couple of times myself.

Always hand vouchers over last.

Hi

I thought I'd let you know how I got on today. As predicted I was not allowed to get 2 Instant radiance foundations with 2 free Instant radiance concealer (thank you all for warning me as I had my backup plan ready !). So I got :

1 x No 7 Protect and Perfect Serum 16.75
1 x Instant radiance foundation £13.25
1 x Instant radiance concealer £12.00
1 x Stay Perfect Foundation Compact £12.00
Total : 54.00

Also got a great Ruby Wax 'Bling Bag' (black/clear square zipped bag with 2 roomy compartments) for a fab price of £2.00 (normal price £12.00) !!!!

Till took off :
1 x Instant radiance concealer £12.00 (as free with foundation)
1 x Stay Perfect Foundation Compact £12.00 (3rd item in 342 offer as a minimum)

Used :
£3 off when you buy No 7 Protect and Perfect Serum
150 points on spend over £20 from mailing
100 points on spend over £15 from ACM
Double points

Got :
116 'normal' points
116 Double points
150 'Coupon' points
100 'Kiosk Offer points

So paid £29.00 and got 482 points and a £2 till spit (for goods worth £66.00). Did I do ok ?

(PS this shop was in Maidenhead if that helps anyone)

Hi Bolli

Another tip for you hun when you are ever going to buy No7 never ever pay at the No7 counter. Run as far away from their counter with your goodies as you can:D

I nearly had an argument with a No7 SA at weekend doing this 3 for 2 using foundation & concealer. Choose those 2 and got my third item she kept going on and on that I needed another item. I kept repeating no I don't need a 4th item thank you. Fed up with her performance I asked her to put my items through the till she put 2 through and actually held the concealer over her shoulder and said look you need another item. I had to ask her quite angrily to put the concealer through and that I had told her repeatedly I didn't want another item. Hey presto total £13 something it did kick in. Boy she was hard work:rolleyes:

I bought a pair of the red fitflops last year when they first came out and they were realy very hard to get a hold of.

I loved them and wore them all summer as they were very comfy and I did notice a difference in my legs as I felt they did tone them.

They work the same as the MBT trainers as I have the sandals in them, but I feel the fitflops went better when worn with skirts or dresses and less than a third of the price.

I will have a look as I wouldn't mind them in another colour.

I am gutted....just looked at the fitflops and they start at size 4 - I am a 3 so I won't be buying any

lol... I think I am going to do this tommorow as my local stores SA kept telling me same thing yesterday, was going to take to normal counter, but then got distracted(does not take much). Be such fun insisting that no thank you I do not need any other items, just please put through those 3 items and playing ignorant lol
