Advantages: good range

Disadvantages: none

I was desperate to get some Christmas shopping done and also had noted that I had over £12.00 worth of advantage points on my Boots card. Boots seemed like an obvious place for a browse so off I toddled.

Inside the store there were regular announcements saying that Advantage card holders could get a free box of chocolates if they spent over £25 and picked up a voucher from the Advantage point. I duly did and thn set off to explore the shop. I didn't expect to spend £25 but after picking up a Bob the Builder Toy for my niece (£6.00) a nice cookie car and cookies (@ £10.00 and a photo frame (£10.50). I had easily spent the £25. When I also spotted that two small picture frames were being given away with the larger one and these were worth £5.00, I could see I had done some seriouys bargain hunting.

I had saved myself approximately £8.50 (£3.50 for the chocolates).

I never did use my points but I've got quite a few more now. I good hours shopping I think!
