Bargain Boots Haul!

Today I popped into town with the intention of using up my £5 off No.7 voucher, and a £2 off Bourjois voucher that had come through the post a while back before they expired this coming Sunday (11/09). Also with Boots having a 3 for 2 offer on across different make-up brands I thought I could possibly get a back-up for my Collection 2000 Lasting Perfection concealer for free....little did I know I was going to come away with SIX products all for a bargainous £5.89!

I firstly popped my advantage card in the pink machine as I knew I had some Treat Street points to collect and had a quick browse throught the offers. Firstly was an offer for 1/2 price in the 17 Hide & Chic Eye Brightening Concealer, next was a voucher for a free 17 Eye Dazzle when you purchased any other 17 product, then came another voucher for a free 17 Shine On lipstick with another 17 purchase. I was thinking surely I won't be able to get TWO free products just from buying a half price concealer and unfortunately I couldn't, BUT I did get the two free items when I bought another 17 product as part of my 3 for 2!

I think the poor sales assistant rued the day I turned up at her till armed with FIVE vouchers, but she was very helpful and I still can't believe I managed to get all this so cheaply!

It isn't the most exciting haul by any stretch of the imagination, three of the items are concealers, but I just wanted to share it with you so you can maybe pop to your local Boots and snap up some freebies too!

The first item in the haul was the 17 Hide and Chic concealer which should have been £4.99, but was half price with voucher.

For my 3 for 2 I bought the Bourjois Powder Brush £4.99, No.7 Quick Cover Concealer in Extra Fair (this is my go-to concealer that I usually pick up if I have a £5 off voucher and has gone up to £8) and 17 Hide Away Concealer Stick in Extra Fair £3.89 which was my free item.

With my two other vouchers from the Advantage Point I got a free 17 Dazzle Eye in Big Smoke (£3.99) AND a free 17 Shine on Lipstick in the shade Bon Bon (£4.29).

So altogether the items I bought should have come to £30.15, but with a canny bit of couponing I managed to save a WHOPPING £24.26!

My advice is get yourselves down to Boots quick!

UPDATE: After mulling it over in my head that night, I realised that I was actually undercharged. The items should have come to a lot more, I think what happened is the shop assistant ran the 1/2 price concealer voucher through twice so it was effectively free. I just thought I should say because the total should really have been £2.49 more.
