    This is the sort of thing I have been getting, quite good for little prezzies or hampers

    That's really good AM.
    So really if you look at it, it's half price as they are rewarding you back £2.50 immediately on your £5.00 spend.
    Now if only you could get till spits when paying with points this could turn into quite a find & compensate for the poor mag this month. Still gives em time to sort us a blinder for next time & save some pennies in rediness.

    I was trying to work out what is better value the stuff from B & M or Boots and getting points....trouble is with Boots points it is all psycological thinking your getting something for nothing !! Plus B& M had limited range only strawbwrry , ice musk and Vanilla musk?

    Boots Mediterranean Selection Box - online half price (was £10) now £5, however I picked up two of these last night instore for £2.50 each...

    http://www.boots.com/shop/product_enlarge.jsp?productid=1086282&classificationid=1049982&slmRefer=000&imageid=1

    Any clues if this is in other stores as well?

    It's like the ted baker bags which are showing £10 in the shelf, scan for £5 and are on BOGOF. I was really curious when I saw the SA tell the lady next to me she could go and get another one, and when I went to the shelf to check for myself, those were marked £10. Any clues if there any other worthwhile offers?

    Concerning the magazine offer on BOGOHalfPrice on FCUK miniatures: this is currently on BOGOHalfPrice in the shlef, right? I wonder it will be BOGOF. Has anyone tried this?
