Boots Grabbit Bargains Part 28 - Post your finds here

Just to let you know that the UG Glossing Mist beeped for me too on Saturday. That was before I handed over £2 off voucher as well so I went and changed it for the polishing creme which went through fine with both vouchers.

My DD's Boots card arrived today so she's busy reading this over my shoulder to get hints and tips on glitches and points accumulation! She's 10 :rotfl:

I'm sitting cursing cos I've just realised that I have c*cked up my Sanctuary purchases again!!What a numpty! Last time I forgot to use my £3 off vouchers. This time I used one, but totally messed up the 3 for 2, so I could have spent a lot less and got more products by using more vouchers and grouping things differently. I'm sooo annoyed. I think it was the 3 for 2 that confused me,although sitting here it's blatantly obvious now what I should have done
.
Cue another sleepless night fretting about my inefficiency - I've even worked out exactly how much less I could have spent if I'd done it right, just to torture myself. Does anyone else do this?!

Add this to the car prang on the way home,and I can't see it being an alcohol free night.....

Hope you ladies are better oragnised than me!

Oh yes clare+3, you are not alone. I do this all the time:rotfl: I could've used 250points ACM voucher on saturday, but forgot to:rolleyes:

Sorry to hear about your accident. I hope you are ok and didn't do too much damage to your car ((hugs))

i went to 2 Boots today, got 1 UG hair mask on it's own for 9p SA v impressed so I said "I bet you are going to get one yourself now aren't you?" with a knowing smile. " acm's in same store giving totally different offers at the same time (give or take 2 mins) :mad: . wombled a till spit:rolleyes:
Then went to another store and got into a "heated debate" (read - argument) with 2 'ladies' (read - cowbags) about their need 2 park in a parent and child space when they clearly didn't need to! and they knew I was right. I didn't have either DD with me (thank goodness) and therefore just parked in an ordinary space, I was so mad I was shaking. I think us Bootsers should go everywhere on foot, there seems to be a lot of car incidents lately.

Anyway had a voucher for free mascara from EL in my bag but I was too chicken to go to the counter 'cos I was in my 'casual attire' and thought they'd refuse me (and i had not a scrap of make up on as had woken at 9.30!!! this morning), DD1 supposed to be at nursery for 9.15 and she was still flat out!

Really strange pricing Boots are doing at the moment. The same products (Sanctuary) with exactly the same bar codes (on the product) coming up with different prices.

Not in boots stores in different towns but neighbouring stores (next street to each other!) in the same town.:eek:


SEL in one store had 75% off. Went through at 75% off.

SEL in next store did not have 75% off. Went through at full price.

Of course these prices are only (correctly) reflecting the SEL prices. And yet these are products with the e-x-a-c-t same bar codes bought just a few minutes apart. They are not "clearance stickered" items.

Price are obviously "exclusive" to the store rather than the town let alone the country.

That's true! I've been told on a number of occasions that price reductions are up to the store manager. If they want to shift something that isn't selling, they reduce the price. It's really annoying for us bootsers though, when we see all the bargains everyone else is getting (ok, I get my fair share:D ) I keep searching for the 20.00 sanctuary bag, hoping to find it reduced to 5.00 (pigs might fly:rolleyes: ) but no luck so far...the search goes on:D

Sounds like it would to me, though I'm not an expert. Shame you've not got a £5 off wys £20 on No7 to bring price down aswell.

Off to the bullring in birmingham tomorrow, does anyone know if the £5 for the sanctuary bag works or not?? And what other glitches are working in that store too??

TIA
