Got my pregnancy vouchers in the post today = £5 off £20 No7 :j Want to get 1x Womens and 1x Mens GWP.... although I really really want all the Limited Edition Summer items :rolleyes: Also got to get some sunglasses, mine are literally falling apart!

Only problem now is due to morning ( :rolleyes: ) sickness I'm not really feeling up to Bootsing :eek:

Perhaps some travel bands to help the sickness - from Boots of course ....do Boots sell ginger tea/biscuits? they should do!:rotfl: Just trying to give you reasons to go :rotfl:

I actually miss being pregnant, sickness and all - what a weirdo! :rotfl:

If you're buying in store the range is kept on the No7 counter. I only know this as on Sunday I was stupidly? looking amongst the bath products (with my 350 pts voucher in hand) and ended up having to ask a SA. The No7 SA's don't seem to like you taking items away from their counter to take to the till!

At my store, the No7 bathing stuff is also over near the Natural Collection bathing items, on the back side of the aisle that has the Med body butters and the Soap and Glory stuff. They even have gwps at the end of the aisle, so I just scoop my suncare products up at the no7 counter (and they are probably also with the regular suncare items, but I haven't checked), then go get my No7 bathing and gwp far from the No7 counter so they can't try to get me to check out there, lol.

Does anyone know if the current med gwp is also sold at other times, as it has a sticker on it that says £10. I'm saving up gifts for my husband's co-workers at Christmas, there is one that I don't think uses Boots much (so she hopefully won't know this was a free gift!). But if she doesn't like it and wants to exchange it, it would be great if they told her it was worth £10 rather than that it was a free gift with purchase! That would suck, especially as from what I can tell, the value of the body butters inside if bought separately would be £17!

Could always ask them to scan it whilst in store? If not wrap with some florist wrap and pop into a nice basket with a puff or something?

Can I ask if you've been to the ACM since the changeover day?

I hadn't been to the ACM for about a week and a half before today - don't know if that makes any difference to the offers you get

Surprisingly, I was inundated with offers today. The free TD, the 100 pts wyb any TD, the model me, the 350 pts on No7 washing & bathing and quite a few more that I can't remember. The total spend one was a bit poor though - 250 pts on a £30.00 spend - which I did use today though

I did think of putting it in a gift bag or something, but the one it comes in is so pretty! I looked at the receipt again, and it's described as a "gift bag £10" and now free. Hmm. I may have someone scan it next time to see if it rings up. Has anyone had theirs scanned before other med products? And did it ring up with a total of £10?

Well...if you like the bag and are worried they may try to return, you could cut the barcode off of the label or remove the label cpmpletely? Then if they do not like it, they will have to recycle it! Can't imagine anyone returning though as body butters are surely loved by most?

If it is on the bag at the bottom...ah I dunno!

I popped into my local today and got:
Shop one:
3x Hackett Kit deodrant (clearance and 342!) £5.67
T&G MM Erin Shampoo £4.99
T&G MM Jamelia Serum £6.99

Used ACM T&G MM Voucher
Till deducted -£1.89 (hackett on 342)
-£6.99 for ACM voucher
-£2.98 for T&G MM on 2 for £9

Total being £5.70 saving £11.86!!!!!

Shop Two:
T&G MM Erin Conditioner £4.99
T&G MM Erin Dry Shampoo £5.49

used ACM voucher
till deducted -£5.49 ACM voucher
-£1.48 2 for £9
paid 3.51

After doing this I noticed the more expensive your free ACM item is the less you pay at the end! The till has to deduct more to make them 2 for £9 so you get a much better saving! Hope that makes sense!

So I paid £2.01 for the first MM product and paid £3.51 for the second!

Yes, it's definitely been on sale as a gift set before. I noticed it when the Med soap glitch was on.

I think you can still buy it as a gift set too so you would get BOGOF, a good buy if you don't have a PC Med voucher.

Wonderful, thanks! It will make a lovely gift (if I can put it away and keep my own hands out of it, lol).
