Afternoon all

Quick shop today:
17 High Gloss nail varnish £2.59
17 Lasting Fix nail varnish £2.59
17 GWP Free
Med Orange, chamomile & honey scrub £1.88 (reduced)
2 x S&G Calm One minis 50p each (reduced)
No ACM voucher on the 17 nail varnishes for me, didn't hide the GWP fast enough when I got home so it's now disappeared into DD's room, I'll have to get another as it looks very nice.
Got a haircare voucher.
2nd shop, did the UG glitch though SA took a bit of persuading to put both vouchers through, she didn't look too happy when it worked and said "They'll soon be fixing this one". I enquired why and she replied that they must have made a mistake putting the UG voucher on the ACM when there was a haircare tillspit on. I smiled and told her I would be taking full advantage of it until they did "fix it" and that Boots did that sort of thing all the time so I was sure that they knew what they were doing. :rotfl:
Pollsdolls, yes they do sell Anadin and there's a free cold pack with it too.

Gotta agree how confusing it must be to work out all these glitches, thank you to all of you who do these for us :T
This reminds me, I'm going to work out a list of Healthcare items I need to stock up on and try to use the £2.50 sandwich voucher and HC £1 off WYS £4 together. I'm going to try to buy as much of it as I can from the healthclub discounted list too, it will be great if all the discounts and MOC's work together :j0 -
Brilliant. I hope the UG one is still in the mchine for me!!Taken from first post, Buy Umberto Giannini dazzling shine conditioning mask (£4.19). Use half price WYB any UG dazzling shine ACM voucher and £2 till spit
Total to pay 9p. Thanks Darkangel.
Jemma Kidd products have a bonus 500pts in store for every 2 purchases the cheapest item being emery boards at £2.00each. So 500pts for £4 spend. Thanks to Skittifer for this info.
So yes you would get 1000points on £10 spend,
*edit* don't think it is, I printed all mine off yesterday and it's not in my Boots purse!0 -
The magazine vouchers from the daily mail go through as brand coupon, so it should work towards the spend total for the till spit. I did not try it because I was trying to disguise a 641.
I used the £1 I spent on Red (after coupon) towards my £5 to get a till spit, but I paid in cash just over £5 total. Do you mean that the full price of the mag could go toward the till spit? As in, even though you only pay £1, you get "credit" for the full £3.40 and only need spend another £1.60 to get a till spit? Can anyone verify this, as that would be great!0 -
Thank you orangelily8 I received my MF voucher today, I can't wait to use it:j:grinheart “Truly Great Madness Cannot Be Achieved Without Significant Intelligence.”:grinheart0

ANY COUPONS THAT GO THROUGH AS BRAND COUPONS (like all those direct from huggies/pampers - not boots pc or boots mailing) all count as brand ones and do qualify as total spend
so yes 1.60 on top of the mag would have met the 5 target and by using the red coupon would have still counted. HTHcoupon over here, coupon over there, every crack filled with coupons even down there(meaning under the buggy lol):D0 -
Ok Im going to try this today -
one lipscreen £5.75
One Glossy locks £5.75
One Mens body wash £6
Use -
500 points on suncare ACM
200 points on suncare mag
£3 off mens no7 newspaper voucher
so will till take £5.75 off as 342 so £11.75 then - £3 so = £8.75 with 700 points back?
Does anyone think this will work like this??Will not spend more money
, but will spend more time looking for that great bargain!:dance:0 -
I used the Eve magazine coupon so my total spend was £4.47(would have been over if I'd paid full price for the mag) but I didn't get a till split today. Can't find my receipt either so don't know whether I should have had one or not.0

Used a till spit from yesterday with acm voucher and paid 9p for a UG spray thingy
Then used till spit from today with another acm voucher -SA refused it and said only one at a time.I said I had already done this once so she scanned it and it went through,39p to pay! She looked as if it was her own money I was depriving her of !0 -

Hi guys.
Just been to 2 different stores and tried 6x suncare items @ £5.75 to see if the BOGOF and 342 work together and.....they don't
BOGOF on No7 suncare finished tues night as confirmed by 4 seperate SA's including No7 staff.
Till totalled £23.00 (as it would for 6 minus 2 free on the 342) so just said aww i'll leave it thanks, i wanted 641! lol.
Plus side is: liplicious vouchers can be combined!
I got a 250 pointer from ACM and my mum got a 400 pointer so 650 points gained from them. :j
The new style packaging is really nice too, i got the marshmallow one and it smells pretty yummy
Still bad new bout the BOGOF ending though. Pooey.
