I know that I'm droning on about my Boots card - to the extent you might think that I have shares in Boots(I don't) - but I just can't believe what good value I get. Today I wanted to buy a small gift. When I got to the store I found that they had 3 for 2 offers - so I thought I might as well stock up for Christmas. Here's the deal:
3 gifts at retail value of £40 cost £30, saving £10 + l bottle bath lotion on offer - saving 89p cost £1
Total saving in cash £10.89
Cash spent £31
But - Points on the purchase are valued at £1.48 plus points from a coupon I got with my statement are worth £2.50 = £3.98
Plus I got a voucher for £5 off Boots No 7 - which I
will use.
So taking everything into account my purchase, which had a retail value of £41.89 actually cost £22.02!ie. £41.89 - 10.89-3.98- £5 = £22.02
N.B. If over sixties sign up to the discount scheme they get 10% off Boots Own Brand items - on top of everything else.
Go on - get a card - you know you want to!
