    I cant see the sale being on a Saturday, it's there busiest shopping day and they will want to try and make the most of flogging the stuff at 50%!!!! The last 4 years, it has been a Wednesday. Let's hope its this Wednesday, as we all expect!!!:j

    Hello, I work for boots in the offices and this year there have been many reports from the branches across the uk that they have sold huge numbers of old Christmas stock at 1/2. So this year we have decided to bring all the stock back to the main depo where it will then be put online at 1/2 on Friday the 18th.

    Sorry for the disappointment of no 75% sale but these items will still be available online from Friday the 18th at 1/2 price.

    Thank you

    Thank you for this. I honestly hope they change their minds :( Disappointed. They do this every year say no 75% and then just delay it. Nobody buy anymore at 50%!!!

    Hopefully, the website will just crash anyways when everybody goes online to check on friday if no 75% on wednesday! Then either way nobody will be buying!

    I was in Manchester Market Street and they have sold NOTHING! Champneys, S &G, Sanctuary, Toni and Guy, Umberto Gianni, No 7 etc etc etc......it is totally rammed with stock, even on the floor so I can't believe there will be no 75%. Even the mens and kids ranges were stocked full.

    Me neither, at all. It's just a non-starter, the store looks like it's stocked up for next christmas!

    My local has 3 aisles full of junk. Nothing is shifting.
    The website starting another 1/2 price sale near the end of January is nonsensical. At 75% off, Boots shift so much stock to still make huge profits.
    How expensive do you think it is to produce shower gel and lip balm in the first place?
    Thanks MSE!!
