    I noticed Bromborough had sharpeners and tweezers today..the first time I have noticed them in there ( I was spralled across the display though looking for that greeny blue eyeliner discussed yesterday...none there!! checked out tesco had them in there and it is luurvly !! So I'll be going to a bigger Boots to get one!!).

    I gather the SA didin't notice in EP then? Did you manage to get any bargains?
    Bromborough big and small were both rubbish. didn't buy a thing.
    Can anyone let me know if there is anywhere on tesco website re: accepting other vouchers when you don't but product , I want to be able to stand my ground if it is queried...could I get £20 worth of stuff and use all 4 in one transaction ? ( sorry I'm not a very good tescoer)
    ( I have 4 x Roc ones) Roc stuff cheaper in Ethel Austin without having to even use a voucher!!

    :A
    Don't be surprised if Tesco's policy changes by the minute and from cashier to cashier. Desperately trying to use some magazine ones from Mondays daily mail . Rule per first cashier We can take one of each to only one per transaction, to none if you haven't bought item ,to 10% of shop and that is one store in a half an hour this afternoon. Tesco does have a lot of offers on
    health and beauty so roc might be cheaper than Boots anyway.

    Some ideas of cheapy stuff(under £2 spend) to grab before it all goes AWOL

    Olay Regenerist Daily Regenerist Cream Wash £6.50 = £1.50
    Olay Total Effects Facial Wipes FORGOT HOW MUCH!!!
    Olay Total Effects Cleanser £4.50 = FREE
    Time Delay Brightening Toner £4.50 = FREE
    Time Delay Cleansing wash £4.50 = FREE
    Time Delay Wipes £3.99 = FREE
    Time Delay Restoring Hand and Nail Cream £5.00 = FREE
    Time Delay Instant Eye Brightener £5.50 = £0.50
    Time Delay Softening Lip Smoother £5.50 = £0.50
    Time Delay Lip Plumper £5.99 = £0.99

    Last time I was told eye brightener and lip smoother were not facial, but if you sweet talk SA's it seems to work lol. Love boots definitions of skincare/facial etc

    EDIT:Not forgetting the Time Delay Starter kit Dotchas got for £2.49 after the voucher woo hoo!

    night all! just finished off my m&s online sale shopping!
    On a boots note, maybe we should start a list of cheap items to use in Expert range with the various vouchers. For eg:

    100pts WYB any expert product (h&b mag)

    Expert sensitive body wash 99p



    Just a thought..2mw is yet another (bootsing) day...:D

    :confused: This is £1.49 in my store - and it's what I've been buying with my vouchers. Unless "Expert Sensitive Gentle Body Wash" is different?

    The Expert Sensitive Gentle hand wash is also 1.49

    *Edit* Hadn't factored in the 1/3 off thingie.:rotfl:
    Slowly getting organised enough to actually write a signature...:rotfl:
    Boots points: £72.75 when I lost it lol Tesco points 2140
    Pigsback £4.65 MSF £3.41

    Part of the Furniture Combo Breaker

    Thanks for that re tescos, so I could shop 4 different times to use them then?


    I know exactly what it's like to be recognised by the staff...most of them on first name terms with DD now ( probably coz I am hollering at her trying to get her away from the make up!! )
    If they stock Roc then yes you can use them

    :o Me too on the DD front!

    Possible glitch - 341 on trevor sorbie
    use in conjunction with pc voucher of a free trevor sorbie conditioner when you buy shampoo
    so possible £4.49 for 3 products which would have cost £13.47

    I noticed today they had some good offers on olay natural which looked nice and olay face creams were half price I think...I would probably make better use of them in Tesco than I would in Boots

    Any good offers the the store you frequent twig?
    This is a do-it-yourself test for paranoia: you know you've got it when you can't think of anything that's your fault.

    cheeky mare :eek: its all my own ;)
    re the skin care cheap stuff I have complained to customer services re all the wipes etc suddenly going awol when these offers are on .. only to miraculously (sp) re-appear once the vouchers have ended.. now (shhhhhhhhhhh) do you think we could get away with.. finding a store with lots of cheap stuff.. hiding it somewhere till we get vouchers.. or buying cheap stuff now.. taking it back with receipt for cash refund,, then"buying" it back with the vouchers we got for buying it in the 1st place:rolleyes: .. lol.. I am joking by the way, please dont anyone try to do this coz i dont wanna be blamed for corupting anyone! :rotfl: :rotfl:

    :D ...... half of my red hair is my own ... the other (grey! :eek: ) half, I seem to have inherited from the little old lady who was sitting on the bus in front of me the other day (was a bit windy !)

    Regarding the cheaper stuff going awol, I did notice in my teeny weeny local boots that all the stuff under £5 had disappeared off the shelves .... I managed to grab the last 2 hand creams so I think lots of people have cottoned on that the TD stuff can be bought outright with the spit or for very little :rolleyes: .
