Taffy I'm so pleased for you , let us know how you get on. I became the proud owner of one yesterday;) for free :j ( well had to buy the voucher off ebay).Went for a mystery shop lunch today in a town i don't normally frequent and found myself thinking, hhmmmmm, i wonder if ther is a Boots nearby.
Hot it was your post I saw yesterday and couldn't read enough backwards to see how they were free. So you were the one that started it for me fingers crossed I do not have it yet.
Can you pm me please about mystery shopping. I would love to know about it. taffy]

Rubes? Next time you're in town, get me a mask will you please? (And not the Sanctuary type either lol).

I can hardly type for laughing, but I did a load of shopping today, because I knew we'd be at DD's over the weekend, but when I say loads, I mean loads of small transactions (and clearance raiding)

OH was with me, bless him (in KW Rubes - who, I should say, have the BEST STAFF IN THE UK - (they're so good that they're gonna get a mention in my sig, when I get round to sorting one out ), and I was f*nnying around trying to get till spits (not realising that the 10points per £15 pound had kicked in already) but that's all by the by anyway.

(I'm still laughing - can't help it lol).

It was getting a bit hectic at the main till, so a lovely young SA asked if we'd like to go to the pharmacy to get served. So we did, and a lovely young man started to serve me, told me I was just short of the £15 mark and did I want to make it up. Did I? I'd have bought his tie for the £2 I was short of :rotfl:

But get this peeps - he knew my user name on here! And to make it worse, he said they ALL knew my user name and he told me what it was! :eek:

OH looked at me like I'd grown two heads (he doesn't know I use this stupid name lol, had to tell him that I couldn't fit passion8aboutbooks in! LOL).

The other young SA (the lovely one ) took one look at her mate, then looked at me as if to say: "passion8? What sort of a name is that for an overweight 50+ year old?" and, poor girl, she couldn't help herself, she turned away to laugh LOL. :rotfl:

(Still can't type for laughing btw) But how funny is that?

At least one member of staff (and according to him ALL of the shop's staff) know my real name, address, how many points I've got, what I buy, what I eat even! (meal deal day lol) and what a stupid user name I've got

The flaming alarm thing went off as we were leaving lol, so I did the usual, walked in again backwards , realised it wasn't my shopping, so OH went through, and set the alarm off. We were in and out like fiddlers' elbows, but just carried on out.

I was in stitches when I got outside - not because the alarm had gone off (and that we hadn't been stopped btw) but because if we had have nicked anything (which we hadn't anyway) they know exactly where to find me LOL. On here! Or here at home!

Anyway, I hope they've all stopped laughing now ('cos I haven't - bet they haven't either lol) and as promised - I said I'd give the SA a mention.

So. Hello Mr Young Pharmacy Man, you're the best SA ever :hello: ... I'm doing my shopping in York from now on! :cool: :rotfl:

Be back later with the shopping lists peeps, and whoever said Boots aren't watching are wrong. They're more than watching, they're making notes! :eek:

I'm off to try and live this down Cya later all x

you did make me laugh. what a shop:rotfl:
can't wait to see your list(s):D

Oh no! I didn't know the voucher is for the may issue...will have to amend tomorrows shopping list now:rolleyes:

You might want to check if they have changed the magazines in the magazine stands, especially since magazines are not their main line of business. so it might take more time for them to switch mags.

Having said that, lots of people use the MC vouchers for the new issue. I am just too "chicken".

Not sure if its been mentioned but TD smoothing body lotion has an SEL of £5 but goes through at £7. The £5 was honoured and SA said that the SEL was new in and head office have messed up. Just thought I would mention it

Thanks for that! I thought I was going a little scatty. Got some the other day with my till split, and noticed when I got home it'd gone thro for £7 even though I'd thought it was a fiver - I assumed I'd just got it wrong!

Has anyone tried getting the Olay Total Effects Hand Treatment @ 6.49 with a 5.00 skincare voucher? does the till beep?

I am hoping to do this transaction tomorrow:D

Total effects hand treatment 6.49
olay wipes 4.49
red magazine 3.30
something for 21p

Total=14.49

Use 5.00 skincare voucher, PC for free wipes and Red moc 2.30

Total to pay= 2.70 + earn another skincare voucher:j

Brain freeze Sally, can you add something for 0.51 to make it 15.00 purchase and get the bonus points this weekend?

I wouldn't use out of date coupons hon - that link was for RED mag which expires 29th May

The MC one expired yesterday - eagerly awaiting a new one since I heard that you get a bottle of tigi free aswell as the bodyshop coco butter :j

I got 5 in Tesco yesterday but our smaller boots round here don't do magazines

I got MC the other day but only got the body butter free, am I missing something ?
