Hi CJ,
Just back from Oxford Boots myself and there was diddly squat there lol!
All the heavily reduced fragrance had gone and there were no xmas sets at all.
The only fragrance left was the standard sets still at 50% off.
So defo not worth a special trip here I'm afraid folks. Hope some of you have better luck!

Just back from an early-morning pre-work raid on Boots in Oxford. Having been told by the SA that the 75% off sale started this morning, I was all fired up to bag loads of bargains .... but it was really disappointing. The only things reduced were some perfume sets left over from last Christmas, though I did manage to get a Ted Baker Woman set of perfume/body lotion/bath fizzers which was reduced from £25 to £6, and a men's Lacoste aftershave/deo set reduced from £40 to £9, plus I paid for them separately so got two of the £2 hair care vouchers, so I *suppose* I should be pleased. I still feel a bit deflated though, as I had been hoping for so much more

So a word to all the other Oxford Bootsers .... unless you are after fragrance, it's not worth dashing in!!

Phew are they still giving these out? An SA yesterday told me they were finishing yesterday.

Does anyone have any spare Olay vouchers? x

Forgot to say- the green Ted Baker bags were all half price, except the large vanity case that was still £20. I was offered a 200 pointer on them from the ACM, and some people also got points vouchers for these in the summer mailing.
I'm not too sure about the colour myself, but may be of interest to somebody else!

Yesterday I noticed that they had the pink box No7 gwp's for sale at £6.50 - I've seen others say similar. They must have a real backlog of these!

Must say I was tempted. Don't like the box much (I have a couple stashed!) but I love the contents. I resisted though :eek:

(only because I'd bought too much already :rotfl: )

Anyone know if there is a good sale (75% off) on in the Reading or Maidenhead branches of Boots ? Is it worth me going into town at lunchtime ?

Also when does the 90% sale start, I got some real fragrance bargains last year (Kenzo aftershave and body lotions for £1 !!!!)

Thanks !

I popped into the Arnison centre to get a new magazine!
I found TB washbags and cosmetic purses half price:D I also had two 200 point vouchers however instead of thinking wow what a bargain I am beating myself up cos I used vouchers from the machine today instead of old ones which will expire first:rotfl:
the SA was telling me that the till was accidentally giving out 2 till spits yesterday :rotfl:

have just checked my old vouchers and they have expired and were only for 100 points so feel better!!!

No sale at my store

Got a James Brown dry shampoo for £1, till spit wouldn't work.

I'm trying to work out the cheapest way to get the Olay GWP (sooo skint, and I thought I'd best start on Christmas!!). Any ideas?!? I have the free wipes voucher?

I also have £5 off a £10 spend and £5 off a £20 spend for No 7, can I use them together? And the 342? So get 2 Dream Lash mascaras, two GWPs, a liplicious gloss, the No 7 GWP for £10.25? (With 400 points for the lip gloss?) Plus a till spit!

I bought my olay vouchers off ebay

Don't see why the £5 and £10 No7 vouchers wouldn't work. I'd try and disguise them amongst other vouchers though. Use the £5 one first if it's a pc one, and it may only work if your actual total spend is £20 or more, although this seems to be 'only sometimes' for me And there is only a dreamlash gwp at the moment, not an actual No7 gwp. Hth :beer:
