    Peterborough has lots of bags on clearance . They are on the wall where the sarnies are but towards the haircare.They have :
    • Ruby Wax shooz @£5
    • Ted Baker small bag with body spray and bath stuff? @£4 ( was £8)
    • FCUK limited edition bag brown leaves?@£4
    and few others I cant remember ! I resisted temptation as not keen on Ted Baker smell and would be buying because it was an offer not because I wanted it !
    have just raided my stash to make up a goodie bag for DD birthday so may have to go shopping when the vouchers change over !

    i used 8.50 worth of points today :eek:

    I don't like spending them, my OH nearly dropped on the floor when i told him our new total (check my sig!) :cheers:

    My local have been reducing a lot of nappies as they are not going to be stocking them anymore but they had nothing left today apart from a couple pks huggies wet wipes bogof at 1.25 so i had the last 4

    had a phone call from boots about them having an order returned from the depo as damaged I didn't even get to meet it and see if anything was salvagable lol, it was reordered but mostly all out of stock ho hum, but i get to keep the points so not all bad, just a shame i didn't see the message on the answer phone and waited in like a plonker all day for it:rotfl:

    Hi SS

    Can you let my locals know to reduce their nappies too....:rotfl: :rotfl:

    Well done on your AC total, thats impressive!!! You must of spent a fortune!

    Hi Broclo, thank you so much hun for looking for the tweezers. We've never had any until y the day before yesterday. Did a Boots shop & looked on the Bourjois stand out of habit really. Nearly fainted as there were some tweezers there. I'm sure any one looking at me thought I was mad lol. Picked up 2 pairs so I'm a really happy bunny now. Phew didn't realise this Bootsing was so hard :D love Vanda xXx

  • Had to go into Norwich for a work meeting so had to pass Boots on the way in and out!!! :rotfl: :rotfl:
    Managed to get myself the last Gorgeous Bag in the box. Yay. Nothing else apart from meal deal that I need for my lunch. No clearance tho as it was rubbish.

    On the way out of the mall popped in again - got myself 2 Mark Hill hairbrushes reduced to £2.50 - eagerly saw SA putting them out on clearance stand so quickly grabbed them - then spotted another Gorgeous bag hanging behind the SA's. Convinced the chap who served me to sell it to me. He said he would get told off but I told him my sob story that I live 25 miles away (which is true!) and that they don't have a boots near to me that sells them and I wanted it for a present!

    Gave it to my mum on way home and she was really chuffed so good deed done today.

    Hello
    I'd like to thank the Original Poster who said to check the shelf edge labels as well as Clearance shelves for reduced prices. I've found that my local uses this - I didn't really check the SEL unless it was something I was particularly looking for but now I try to spot the little writing and I've spotted a few bargains :j

    Obsessive Boots Disorder (OBD)

    Symptoms
    -Finds excuses to go into town to go to boots
    -Often goes to different Boots in a day
    -Seen with a Gorgeous Bag, a wad of vouchers and her ac at the till arguing with a SA.
    -Teaches young children the fine art of Bootsing.
    -Found going through drawers under the counters and display cases.
    -Often found at a clearance stand with a child that is trying on the lippy.
    -Walks 1.2 miles around one store until she has covered the entire shop twice, just to make sure.

    APPROACH WITH CAUTION!!

    Weapons- med soap, tweezers, stay dry packs, no.7 eyeshadows, children.


    PMSL - you've been watching me too. Wonder what medication they would prescribe - additional points maybe LOL:rotfl:

    Hi, sorry to ask again, does anybody have any Olay vouchers they would like to swap please? I want to put together a set for my mums birthday next week and would like to make the most of the purchases. :A

    I still need:

    £5 off olay TE
    500 points wyb olay TE
    [strike] Free wipes/toner etc wyb olay TE[/strike] Thanks x

    I will make it worth your while guys, I have lots of goodies to swap for them:

    Other vouchers/tweezers/sharpeners/sanctuary sachets and will even send nail sets, Expert tins and various GWP's, oh and elusive TB bag if you can spare a few ;) plus more things i can't think of right now - all of which i will pay the postage to get to you.

    Just PM me with what you have and what you'd like. I know some peeps missed out out some of these ;) so we will be helping each other hopefully :)

    Apologies again to ask and for the slightly off topicness, but if you don't ask, you don't get i suppose... I have checked ebay and there's nothing for these ones, plus i need them desperately :(

    Thanks xx

    lol where have I heard that before?!? lol (PK ;) )
