Boots Grabbit Bargains Part 23 - Post your finds here

mess0804

I've been bootsing again:

3 products from the Natural Colection (I love the Samphire and Sea Minerals --hmmm) 6.48 and got 200 points (they are bad with the £ 5 spent because all the products are 1.99, 2.99... so you get 4.98 and have to buy a third thing)
- the TD starter kit 2.50 (it's worth it, I think I will buy some more)
- TD hand cream free (it had even the " you can use voucher to buy me" sign on it)

Not a bad shop for me.

Thanks pollsdolls ..please let me know as I could take a trip to your neck of the woods ( well your side of the river anyway)

The only thing is you seem to have a tough time with the SA's...When I first asked about validating the receipts the SA did say she was not sure it would work but she would try it and it did work...done it with 400pts on Q10, 2 x 200 S&G's scanning together and 250 No7 from GWP ( not a good time to lose card!!) Got my best points haul when all this was going on !!

Also I am sure that the med voucher does not say excludes minis as I have done it with minis no probs..in fact I don't think there are any exclusions on that voucher, it just say 'buy any product'

Thats right it does not say excludes minis, its just certain SA's making up their own rules. That being said. There loads of nice ones for every horrible one, and Liverpools CS Manager is great, so very helpful.

That was the same time period that I was without mine too. It was my own fault I only asked the one SA and took her word for it. I did eventually contact CS, but I had also sent them another couple of emails about my a)card being faulty b) losing out on my 10% too, and they never properly responded to any of the 3 emails.

So I rang them up, and was given 600pts. Which did not even cover the 10% that I had lost. Still we learn from our mistakes. At least I do, once bitten twice shy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The till beeped and the SA said it had to be cosmetics !
I would have been happy with 6 pairs of tweezers (I have lots of family and friends who would appreciate them), and was SO dissappointed that I couldn't even get them. Never mind.

I can't understand how the tills are set up bollywood_rani they seem to be different all over the country.

A lovely SA allowed 5 x till spits to be used on 5 x sharpeners in a local store today, all seperate transactions though.

It might be better to try somewhere else, and preferably early tomorrow, as I imagine most people who work during the week will all be trying to use up their till spits too. So good luck, and sorry for the late reply.

My 10.00 pigsback boots voucher arrived this morning:j so I just had to go bootsing. But, I left my shopping list at home:mad: (I need to go back to the school of bootsing:rolleyes: ) so I only bought a couple of things.

I got some really nice socks reduced from 7.00 to 1.75, so I bought 2 pks and another pk reduced from 6.00 to 1.50:D
I also got TD hand cream:T I love this!

Total: 10.00 - 5.00 skincare voucher= 5.00 to pay and I earned another voucher to spend on more hand cream. I bet we won't find any hand cream in a couple of days. Better to stock up now while we can:D

The best way of getting a skincare voucher without actually spending 5.00 is to use manufactures Moc's (for magazines etc) as they count as cash;)

I have sent out the metro vouchers to the peeps who asked for them. I still have 2 left if anyone wants them. FCFS:D GONE

Just posting yesterdays shopping list with a photo, just to make it a bit more real.





LIST
Got this great Botanics bag for £1.35 (Incl 10% off)

Got two of these bags a few weeks ago for 1.50, but haven't had the heart to use it yet. Checked the bag in another store a few days ago and although the SEL was 12 it scanned at 6.00 - so worth checking when you come across them. Be careful with the pulls on the zip, they come undone quite easily. Even thought of using them as a normal day bag it's such a nice shape.

Good little shop today, got in just before the mad panic of lunchtime. Snapped up:

Giorgio Beverly Hills body lotion > 2 x 3.32 (1st till spit)
Dior hair and body gel > 5.40 (2nd till spit)
Hilary Duff edp > 10.00 (3rd till spit)
Valentino edp > 5.00 (4th till spit)
Valentino body lotion > 3 x 2.00 (5th till spit)
Anais Anais body lotion > 5.00 (6th till spit)
Armani after shave > 5.50 (7th till spit)
phone top up > 10.00 (8th till spit)

Although a line was fast forming, the SA was very patient, bless her. There were also Lacoste, Deisel, Polo, JLo, Paul Smith, going for about the same prices.

Big rush on them, so probably all gone now but might come to a store near you. Till spits will be handy as DDs are almost through all of the TD wipes from last time!

I want to use a 1/2 price on Expert Pregnancy products coupon from the mag on the post-preg shampoo that's 1.99, thus paying .99 and getting 200 points with the ACM coupon. Does the till beep for everyone when using this 1/2 off voucher, or just when people try to use it on the baby wipes?

Also, fyi, got the Time Delay hand cream today with a till spit and was pleased to see it has spf 8 (I recently read that it's as important to use sun protection on the hands as it is on the face).

I know thats what I thought .. the reason I think it is only that long is coz I bought something in BOOTS in the airport once.. on way out on hols... as you do!! didnt have my AC card .. as you wouldnt if going abroad! :rolleyes: so got receipt and when they told me how long I had to get it validated I was like HOW LONG!?!?!? .. could be wrong tho... I usually am!:j

I always take my AC with me when I travel abroad:D I usually buy a meal deal to take on the plane (and pay with points). Airline food is gross:rotfl:

Last time they were on 3 for £3.50 and the till took off £1.47(£1.49x3-£3) so till did £3.50-£1.47 coupon = £2.03
So should work on the 3 for £3.00 as £3.00-£1.47 = £1.53

Saying that, last time they were on 3 for £3 offer it diod not work, so it is a case of trying this time and seeing how till reacts. Sure either me or KJ1980 can try tommorow, Pash sent me a great wadge of them!

Hiya - Ok, this custard thing ! Wondered if someone could explain ?
I have a Heinz custard pots voucher for 3 for £3. Is this worth using, how much are they normally and how much would you save ? I couldn't get to grips with what was said. Sorry, I'm slow .......
