Alliance Boots, Britain's biggest pharmacy chain, reported a big rise in profits on Tuesday, partly thanks to strong sales of its popular No7 cosmetics line.


:rotfl:
Thought this pertinent. Doesn't mention any thanks to Boots tarts, nor the glitches !

In the Boots in Sheffield, Ted Baker travel size tolitetries were reduced to 50p from £2. They are on the actual shelf rather than on a specific reduced stand.

Hope this is the right place to post this!

The No7 assistant just told me this evening that the email voucher is a scam, they had been told not to take them this morning. She was very nice about it and said she would go and check with the manager again when I said I had, had the email from Boots then came back and said we could use them but I doubt I'll try there again.

If you don't want the 350pts bathing and med bogof in return I'll donate them to someone else to pass the generosity forward

i have to hold my head in shame and admit i never shop in boots. I look at this post occasionally but its a bit long and confusing for me. (I'll stick with my Tesco i know what im doing in there) Thanks for the offer but please pass them onto someone else who can use them.

Bit of a nightmare trip to Boots today. Plan was to go to Ilford to use ACM but got scuppered by traffic jam on North Circular and had to branch off up M11 to escape. Wasn't sure if Harlow had an ACM so decided to head to Enfield which definitely does.

For future trips, yes Harlow does have a ACM, quite a reliable one too. So does Bishops Strortford which isn't too far away.

No NC bags though and no Med GWP although there was on Saturday.

What they did have today though was a load of various baby products on special, mostly mini me, I think they're called. Probably got that wrong though, lol. Lots of little treat bags too in that range.

I bought a MAM manual breast pump for a fiver as my daughter is having baby number 2, grandchild number 6, in October.

Today I used the No 7 voucher twice in 2 transactions and got the nail polish for £1.25 :T

OH has just asked me when I'm gonna ebay my haul (he's been snooping in the spare room, under the bed and in the "unused" cupboard on the landing I reckon!! )
