I think 50% off starts on Boxing Day, 342 comes off then too.

The online 75% off sale this year started in the early hours of Wednesday 9th January, instore it was Tuesday 15th January. A few weeks after that it goes to 90% off though there isn't usually much left by then.
From what I can remember from other posters that is the pattern it takes, online on Wednesday then instore the following Tuesday, who knows though MrB might change it this year.

The staff usually only get to know the day before and are sworn to secrecy, though some SA's will whisper to you if you ask quietly. Last time even some of the SA's didn't know as there were no signs up in some stores.

thanks for that, i will make note:)

I have a relative who works in Boots and she told my mum that the sale is going to start a few days before Christmas. I will ask her about it when I'm home next.

AB_KW if you aren't going to spill anything, why bother posting? If I remember correctly you've been wrong about the offer of the weeks that you said weren't going to happen previously.

thats great to have someone who works in boots. im quiet friendly with my lancome lady, i probably ask her, she must love me as i spend good fortune on lancome. but i told her that i shall be buying only when boots or lancome have offer, and she sent me card for lancome 1000points offer other day. im planning to buy mascara and eyeliner with 750points voucher, when i win one on ebay:)

btw, I was just trying to make convo (believe it or not, some people like to know that the info is out there but don't want to know what it is). If you like I won't post here again.

I wasn't trying to say not to post here, it's just frustrating when it seems like you're teasing people that you know the information and you don't share it. If you don't feel comfortable with revealing it then that's fair enough but I don't think Boots are going to be on a witch hunt for an SA who revealed sale dates

When people have speculated saying that something would be offer of the week, you have replied saying "I can confirm that it won't be the offer this week" when it has been. I'm not sure what item it was as it was a few weeks ago, possibly when someone posted a list of all the offers and dates.

If it is the digital camera your refering to, I said that the offer would not be starting on the friday after my post http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showpost.html?p=15748443&postcount=847

As it started on the Wednesday http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showpost.html?p=15783883&postcount=1149

If your refering to the Front Cover eyes set, I said it would not be the offer the following Friday (31st Oct). http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showpost.html?p=15183179&postcount=2111

If you look back I think you will find that it was the Ruby and Millie set http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showpost.html?p=15442087&postcount=1805

Becky - you DO get replies every time you do this - You disappear for a couple of weeks and then post a "will you tell me what's happening please?". Most of the replies say the same thing - and you know what that is! Either try and keep up - or read the first post, instead of just swanning in and expecting everyone to fall over themselves to update you personally.

This is just my opinion (which I am entitled to!) - but can't you at least read post 1 - and then ask a question if you don't understand something ?

I do read the first post, but i ask just incase something has been missed.
Like the saying goes.. 'it doesn't hurt to ask' - it doesn't affect you if i post that there was no reason to be nasty...
Also, i dont expect anyone to ''fall over themselves'' for me, how can you say that when you don't even know me?
I won't bother asking again, don't worry.

AB_KW I wasn't referring to the camera, I don't know what item it was I just remember seeing you say something wouldn't be the offer and then it was. I'm not going to waste my time looking back to see if that actually happened, but according to your links you have been correct so I apologise if I was wrong in what I said

I'm sorry if you don't like it Becky - you're right, I don't know you, except that most of your postings are exactly the same, basically you CBA to read what has been posted already and want someone to give you the hightlights - which is exactly as was said, on Post 1 as always. I'm also sorry if you think I'm being nasty - that wasn't my intention. Just that we ALL have busy lives and if everybody else did what you do, we'd be buried.

Ask any other question and people will always answer - I may be the only one who has said it, but I find it a bit rude that you obviously want the glitches, but don't expect to do any reading for yourself.

Apologies to anyone this offends - it's not my intention to offend anyone. If I did intend to offend, I think you'd soon notice!

I didn't think asking would harm or hurt anyone, or i wouldn't have posted.. I do read the first post everytime.. but i can't keep up with all the pages. The whole thread is about finding glitches and people benefiting from them anyway, which is why i thought it was okay to ask.
I don't see why it is all such a big deal when imo it's such a small thing compared to other things in this world.
I'm sorry if you found what i said rude..
