Boots Grabbit Bargains Part 23 - Post your finds here

Updated 25th April 2008

This post contains all the updated glitches, offers etc and post 2 contains Q&A so please read the first and second posts of this thread for any answers you need. This will save a lot of duplicate questions on this thread.

All Boots seems to have different policy’s. What happens in one does not necessarily happen in another. :mad:

Successfully getting some of the better glitches often depends on if the SA you pick is willing to try. Its sometimes sensible to buy some other things to 'disguise' your bargain. If the SA won't put it through, please don't make a fuss - they are only doing their job. Just try again another SA / store / day. It is a good idea to try and make a friend in a SA if possible.

    Hiya

    I know everyone loves a good chinwag but it sometimes gets a bit difficult finding the on-topic info on here. Would everyone mind trying to keep the discussion to the Boots grabbits?

    Ta!

    Just a reminder.

    did you check expiry date? I bought baby repellent wipes last year and they expires in 12-18 months I think, so be sure you didn't buy the ones that will expire before summer ;)

    the spray didnt have one on so i asked the assistant and she said generally the shelf life is from when the spray is first activated and will last for about a year from then.it will be used in september so if it seems a bit dodgy by then i will chuck it but otherwise cant complain for 30px

    Hi, and apologies for the late reply, but you asked me about the S&G bags in the last thread. It's not a grabbit btw ;)

    freecyclebilly posted a picture of them in post# 1479 in the old thread. Just tried to copy the post, but it didn't work. I think someone else will put the proper link up for you though.

    Off-topic I'm afraid, but I know someone here's having a birthday today, but forgotten who it is now :o So ... Happy Birthday ....whoever you are :beer: x
