It depends on what you think is an ok price, lol. Shampoo is £8, cosmetics and other products go up from there. Go here, on the left is a list of price ranges to click on. For some reason it says there is only one item in each price range, but more show up when you click. For what it's worth, I love Clinique Almost Lipstick for £12; it's less sticky and shiny than gloss, but less heavy than lipstick. Almost Blush is my favorite shade (very subtle and pretty).:)
will take a look thankyouim not allowed to say what i think so ner!:p0 -

went to the market place this afternoon. got another nail varnish with the £5 voucher. I also got 3 Hackett body sprays 74p each and on 342:D
I then went to North road where the clearance stand was the same as it has been for the last few weeks:rotfl: there was a student in there looking at the No7 make up so i gave her one of my vouchers. She looked really embarassed but at least she will save some money:D i just hope the voucher goes through OK and she doesn't get questioned about it or she REALLY will be embarassed:D that was my good deed for the day:rotfl:saving for ds2's summer international scout camp - £200

Hi Sarah Skint
Here is a pic of the current GWP (thanks to pollsdolls)http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.html?p=11366281&highlight=clinique#post11366281
and if you look at my post #1024 below it, it will tell you what's in it (if I could quote old posts I would!)
Don't know when the bonus time finishes and wasn't offered another gift if I bought an additional item but I think someone else was. I'm going to get another one later!
Clinique and estee lauder bonus times have disappeared from peterborough store0 -
I had my first experience of a nasty SA just now ....... bit of a long story so bear with me !
Went to a retail park boots (not saying which one - I know the forum has eyes !)
Basically I gave the SA on the till (who was very lovely bless her) a combination of vouchers (mainly the gwp 250 points ones and the email print out for £5 off). I also had the 350 pts wyb No7 bathing range which wouldn't go through. So, she summons over a supervisor who scrutinises my shop, decides that I'm putting far too many vouchers through and said that I couldn't use them ! :mad:
So, I state that I'd bought the relevant products and that the vouchers were NOT the same so therefore I could use them. She still argued it and I then asked her to ring customer services, whom I was sure would say that I could use them (again stressing that I'd bought the relevant products for the vouchers). She kept saying that because I'd got the gwp's on the No7 I couldn't use any other vouchers.(Which I suppose is strictly true as vouchers do say not to be combined with any other offer). Still scrutinising and moaning (and whispering to another mean looking SA on the other till - how rude !) she eventually agreed to put them through (after I'd asked her to see if they would go through the till and any that didn't I wouldn't argue with - of course I knew they would go through
). THEN she told me I couldn't have the 200 pts wyb photo albums because i'd bought the reduced scrapbook inserts for 50p. Again I argued.
Anyway long and short of it is I had a fab shop (lots of points and gwp for not much money! :j ) but felt like a bloody criminal whilst stood at the till - listening to them whispering about me getting lots of points for not much money. :mad: Luckily most of the other customers had gone by then otherwise i'd have been a tad embarrassed ! Just glad I stood my ground as some of the other newbies amongst us might not have done, and would have left a bit dismayed ! Also glad she didn't notice the 2 NC bags I got :rotfl: (I did by the strawberry sponges for each though !)
I'd love to post my shopping list but don't feel it is a good idea in the circumstances (I don't want to draw attention to myself and possibly be identified !) If anyone thinks that it would be ok for me to post what I got then let me know as I'm itching to tell you all but scared of reprisals !
Thanks for listening and sorry for the long post again !:jWeight loss to date 1st 11.5lb :j0 -

Well done hun for your perseverance, thank god it paid off lol. I just don't understand why they have to be so rude, it's not coming out of their own pockets. Thankfully I haven't been treated like this so far but god help the first one who does:rotfl::grinheart “Truly Great Madness Cannot Be Achieved Without Significant Intelligence.”:grinheart0 -
Aww JTB that's so awful for you :mad: , bet you were shaking by the end, i would have been and probably crying. Depending on which of the stores I visit i may have walked off, (not saying you should have btw;) ) just if it was one I went in alot or my nearest. Fortunately i have a few to choose from
. Hope you ok
