    Wow that sounds great ! I wonder if they'll do this nationwide ?

    I'm off to Slough tomorrow, not my local shop, are there any Slough Bootsers out there ? Is Slough any good for clearance goods, has anything recently been spotted ? Do you think they'd have any perfume giftsets reduced there ? I am really looking forward to trying a different Boots to my normal one. TIA

    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!

    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.

    As I mentioned in my earlier post, I cannot be sure whether the magazine coupon from the DM counts towards the total for the till spit, since I was trying to disguise a potential 641, which did not materialize.

    However I got 1 Elle and 1 Elle, my receipt reads:
    Total 20.24
    brand coupon 2.50
    brand coupon 2.40

    total to pay 15.34

    But DebbieR says she did not get a till spit. Would it have been a till spit or a paper voucher, DebbieR? Becuase if it had been a till spit, it would have been automatic.
    I still got 2 to spend, so it would be great to know.

    Anyway, along the same line, does the 2 for £4 on 17 go through as more than 5, to earn a till spit or do we need to spend more? Thanks.
  • Does anyone know if there are any differences between these 2 products prod_thum.jpgprod_thum.jpgapart from the price and the cardboard box?:rolleyes: TIA:D

  • Today's Boots hit was:

    2 x Sanctuary Lomi body butters (or whatever it's called) for £1 each!:beer:
    Smile toothpaste 59p
    Baby food 64p
    Dove £1.78
    Total £5.01 - perfectly calculated for getting £2 till spit. SA said the reduced body butters were on 342 but drat they were last ones left. :mad: :mad: Rats, could have had them for 66p each.

    But managed to sweet talk my way into a third No7 lip gloss for free pointing out that I'd bought two on clearance for £1 each yesterday and that I should have had 3rd one free. Supervisor SA conceded that they shouldn't really put make up through till as refund to issue 3rd one but said she would do it. :j So I got 3 No7 lip glosses for £2. Surely the new liplicious cannot be much different?!
