Great shops:T Thanks for the reminder of having to give the £5 off £20 one first:T
P.S Did you not want to make up the £5 spend to get the 17 gwp?:eek: :rotfl:
You reminded me actually, on the bus the other day i found a boots receipt and looked at it. Noticed theyd earned a tillspit and looked around for it:rotfl: And spotted it:T So WOMBLED:D Also the thing they'd bought was rimmel mascara @ £6.99 and i was thinking ooh they should have bought no 7, would have got a good deal with all the points/money off coupons flying around:rotfl:

I did consider it but I already have one (thanks to a lovely Bootser) so I didn't see the point in spending the extra money on stuff I didn't really need in order to get one. The foundation was something that I actually needed. Actually I highly recommend the 17 oil control powder foundation as I definitely notice the difference between this and the No7 powder as I have quite oily skin. I'll be lost if they ever discontinue it :eek:

first so PC voucher didn't work as total was less than £20! Got the dreaded beep even though she tried twice, so I said never mind and then realised afterwards why it never worked. Kicking myself now.

Total Saving £18.35

Got haircare till spit

Got another haircare till spit plus one of my Mum's and wombled one (I love that saying, lol) from an empty trolley so hope to get more UG and maybe some TS as have free conditioner voucher from PC.

Was going to add pics but I've just realised how long the post is already! Sorry.

Glad to see you back Sam:D ...good shops..shame about the No7 voucher but I am sure that something else will come up and will be glad you have it at a later date ( might see you in the morn aa I'll be taking to school)

Hi please could someone help me as im unsure what to do I received my boots order this morning and received a wrong item, I spent over 50.00 to get the offer 500 extra points and used code for 500 points, should I place the whole order again and return the whole order as I dont want them to take points if I return part then reorder part it to not get the same offer.
hope that makes sense lol

Just ring Cs and explain about the incorrect item..they will just ask you to return the incorrect item and then replace it with the correct one.

I'm pretty sure that if you just return the one wrong item then they won't take the points back off you. Maybe you could exchange it in-store for the right item?

errm, might be a repeat question - sorry.
but can you use the £2 spit with the TS conditioner free with pc coupon?

Haven't actually tried it myself this time around but can't see any reason for it not to work and it definitely worked the last time the £2 till spit was out.

Thanks GG for the advice on the Meal Deal, I'm off to call cs now and see what they have to say (Fob me off with.) Will let you know what they say.

I think if you return the item to a branch and get it replaced it won't have any impact on certainly the bonus points collected on .com?

Is it just me or...................Do you know you're addicted to Boots when you see a thread on the main Grabbit board called "Jam Session £2.96 on Amazon" and you immediately think of Soap & Glory Shower Gel??? LMAO
