Or you could buy them on ebay. That way you know what you're getting, and although yes, you do have to pay as opposed to getting them free, but it's not much and then at least boots can't say anything about you having a 'virtual' baby :rolleyes: Also you'll get a much better choice than the ones boots sends you.

You can get some fantastic bargains on there, for example about 3 days ago I won an auction for a printer voucher, £5 off olay, 500 points on olay, 250 points on frames/albums and £5 off No7 (along with the obvious baby stuff as well) ... but the best bit is that I won it for around £5!! I had a snipe (site which puts an automatic bid in for you 8 seconds before the auction end) for £18 (i.e. that's how much I would have paid!)


Burt's bees frequently uses irritating plant oils and misses out vital ingredients which are good for your skin because they are not 'natural' :rolleyes: enough. Not recommended.

Sorry to barge in, but if you use vouchers you bought off ebay, especially if they are from the parenting club, aren't you likely to get into the same trouble? I know it is different to lie about being pregnant versus using vouchers not issued to you, but isn't it along the same lines?
I just mention this because someone recently got into some trouble and had their card, full of points, confiscated.

Not trying to second guess the tills (the big mystery in all our lives) but I think it's because the original price was £5 and the GWP kicks in WYS £6+ therefore by buying 2 jam sessions the till thinks it's £10 your spending so u get 1 free bag (hope that makes some sense)



Did exactly the same thing ydy! (quite a work-out boots shopping - always running round the store looking for glitches or other items to get all our GWPs!)

Completely agree...tills are crazy sometimes! (but mostly we love em cos they often work out in our favour....recent no7 sun screen + gwp is just one example )


Yep what you are saying does make sense hun re the S&G Jam sessions.
I bought the jam sessions before at full price £5 and have got the gwp bag. So maybe spend had to be £5 again.

Shall we take votes:D

Went to the AC machine for the first time in ages and amongst many offers, got the Trevor Sorbie freebie plus a free Time Delay face mask or Under Eye patches.:T

Didn't AB (? - Ruby and Passion8's SA) explain Boots rules on reductions? I was trying to find his post earlier, but failed! He definitely gave a brief reason as to why he thought some stores reduce and some don't, but I can't remember - something to do with the size of the store, whether they have the space for the range, whether they have a call for the range?

Sorry - can't be more specific - hope he can fill us in again if he comes back

Hi, a very nice SA explained this to me a couple of weeks ago!
I'd bought some deodorant at 50p ish .........bargain so got 2...didn't realise till got home they were bogof. Different store next day still £2.xx.
SA explained that if they don't sell well in a certain store they get reduced, however, if good 'sellers' they don't! Hmmph!
Just like your explanation!

I tried to buy this today, to get the NO7 GWP. I kind of knew when I went to the till it was going to be a bit fat NO(lol). I pretended to go and get another one to make up the difference but instead bolted from Boots as quick as my 27in legs would carry me :rotfl: I did it in Woodgreen, a Boots I don't normally frequent. I suppose it was worth a try:p

i bought 2 of these and tried to put 1 of each gwp through on the basis that the original price would have been £50 but the till bleeped on teh 2nd GWP so no glitch with this one I'm afraid

Unless it's this from T&C's:
'The offer cannot be used in conjunction with certain other boots.com offers.'
Have you tried the codes & coupon thread?
