    This was my order this Jan and the total suggests 75% off, its does seem strange but I think Xmas 07 items were 50% off on the 23rd gong by my order details

    I don't want to irrate you just trying to figure out when the sale starts this year ?! keeping an eye out from just before Xmas for the 50% off and towards the start of Jan Mon/Tue at 5 am seems to be the pattern for the 75% off, just don't want to have to set my alarm for 5am all through Jan !!!

    Regards MLSL

    ooh yes i cant wait to supply the local burglars with more boots sale items:mad:

    actually this was probably one of the better sales of last year. cant forget getting up at 5.30 every morning to see what new stuff was listed.

    The 75% off sale started on the 9th Jan. I have just looked back on my order history & I ordered at 4:15 on the 9th! I did not stay up just for it (though I did have my alarm set early) but the dog needed a wee & I though as I was up anyway I would give it a try.

    My order was for loads of Xmas & birthday presents through the year!!!

  • I remember the 50% off sale on line was definitely before Christmas. I was expecting another baby and had seen a double buggy for £65! Everyone said no, don't get it, it's too soon. I ignored them and managed to get the last one, that was on Christmas Eve. :j

    Love the Boots sale i got
    all my christmas presents
    for the family .will be doing
    the same this year and I
    will be using the gift vouchers
    gained from pigsback so i have
    really kept the christmas present
    buying to the minimum.

    if you are using gift vouchers you
    can have them loaded onto a gift
    card instore then you are able to
    spend without having to think of
    rounding up things to the value
    of the token.

    The in-store 75% off sale definitely started on Tuesday 15th this year, although I think it might have started the following day in some stores. I hope it starts the week after next year as I'll be in Edinburgh w/c 12 Jan and I don't fancy carting all my bargains back to Sheffield on the train...
