I wish Boots would install a price checker in their stores like my Tescos. I would happily spend the whole day there scanning for the bargains:D Btw what does SEL mean? sorry in advance if this has been posted:)

Remembered some more...S&G Body Butter £4 - EA gift set £5 (£10.com) - EA Sleep Spray £2 - Sanctuary detox £3.48 - Kyphi salve £2.48.

I bought the above 3 Sanctuary products, handed over £3 off from ages ago GWP but it only took £2.48 off
Still some good bargains though, and with the other postings on here it looks like they might be nationwide reductions...Hope this helps...:D

Liverpool Clayton Square.... loads of 50% off baby clothes and lovely little designer look wellies for girls and boys reduced to £4. Little girls ones had matching rainhats!

Bet I know which shops you have been visiting today as well as Boots. Liverpool One??


Did you enter the raffle in Boots Liverbird?

I was going to go town today (Mainly to get my camera fixed) but heard that city centre was 'a sea of people' so stayed at home. They will still be there tomorrow.
SA told me that they were holding raffles etc today to divert people from the new Shops. Don't think it worked though.

Saw it on Granada reports and it looked amazing. :T :T
I can see Boots CS moving into there soon. I have never been to the Trafford Centre but now I won't have to. :j :j

Isn't she back yet?;) Bet the bint is trashing the joint again;) :rotfl:

Hrrrmph oi! Rush hour traffic don't ya know! (Should have taken magic carpet)

Ok... Tried the P&P Body Serum - defianately not part of the W/B range i'm afraid folks, so no 300/350 pointer usage there Tried at 2 different tills lol (even no7 counter :eek:) but she spun round the till monitor and it was a definate 'not met' screen.

The No7 lipgloss, even though reduced to half price -and there was signs stating so - goes through all tills (even SS) as full price (£8.75) causing no end of problems!

Had to get SA to void the SS till transaction, then try normal tills with GWP and 2x lip screens to (hopefully take over £20), lipgloss still scanning @ full!
Then SA also said to top it off 'oh, it's under £20 now cos of the bogof on the lip screens, so you can't have the GWP' blah blah blah, (and this after it had gone through ok mind!) :rolleyes: Ahh, get stuffed lady....we know it works regardless of bogof..and proceeded to tell her if the till says its ok, then it's ok, and who are you to argue it? Felt momentarily bolshy, then walked off. ...

So this does definately not work either as the till scans at full, meaning you have to manually have it reduced, leaving far too many 'variables' for the SA's to clock onto.

Sorry it's not yaaaaaaay news guys, I have a headache now too

Thank you to everyone who suggested checking SELs in the bathing areas.
Plenty of reductions across the ranges!
I did notice however, that the items with reductions varied across the (3!) stores i visited today...

Btw unsuccessfully tried the following 2 combos:

No 1: TS long hair shampoo + long hair conditioner - think it was the ACM vocuher which beeped

No 2: med bath creme x2 (were £5 now £2.50) + GWP - unfortunately it didn't think i'd spent the £10...u win some u lose some

I need some help please with how to get the PC and ACM vouchers for TS to work...TIA

Had 2 good shops yesterday. Won't bore you with the lists as they're much the same as others have posted - used up some pc vouchers, got the baby changing bag, used the expert half price baby voucher, olay wipes and £5 voucher, No7 voucher, got 2 no7 GWPs and the No7 suncare glitch.

Managed the TS glitch with 2 free products (ACM and PC vouchers) but gave up with the model.me glitch and just had one free product out of the two I bought (express voucher went thro, acm didn't :-( ). Also had a couple of other vouchers refused to scan - bought 2 botanics hairmask - £4.99 ea, 2 for £5 - tried to use the 250 acm points voucher and it wouldn't scan. Also bought "always" as I had a half price mailing voucher, but that wouldn't scan either - didn't want to make a fuss as I'd used a shed-load of vouchers and didn't want to draw attention to the bargains and free products in my shopping bag!!!

I'm still clutching my med preg bogof voucher to my bosom sadly, as the GWP stand was there but empty. Got two natural collection GWP's and very happy with them even though the items I paid full price for have been reported as reduced elsewhere! (I love NC!)

No clearance shelf. No time delay freebie in the ACM for me! And all cheap-cheap TD items gone from shelves.

Got Garnier Nutritionist Caffeine Eye roll On reduced to £4.99 from £9.99 - have seen that recommended on here before.

Also got 2 for £4 pantene and used a £2 and £1 off.

The ACM sunbites voucher finally sucked me in - never tried them before - really like them! They may become my new 'craving'!

Anyway, did a load of normal shopping too, inc phone voucher - spent £70.94. Saved - £119 (according to receipt, inc changing bag) Points gained - £23.14 (did better with freebies than points today)

Thanks for that Blodwin, You certainly got loads of bargains. My AC voucher for the Botanics hair mask bleeped, but the SA saw that I had the right products so has the pts added manually.

I think the till is trying to let us have only one offer either:-

1 x tub with 250 pts
or
2 x tubs for £5.

Last time the 2 for £5 + the 250pts went through no probs.

Re the Sunbrites, I haven't tried them yet, but think I will now. Well done again & thanks for posting:T
