Boots Grabbit Bargains Part 45 - Post your finds here

*LoopyLaura*

OOTW completely sold out in CastlePoint (near Bournemouth) store, not getting any more either
The amount which have sold on Ebay makes me sad that some of you lovely ladies didn't even get a look in before they gobbled them all up
On a lighter note, Jemma Kidd 750 points is still going through & the £2 bluey works on the Bourjois Glass Nail File, 95p to pay if I remember correctly! xx

when does the online sale start gang??

The online 75% off started on Wednesday 9th January 2008 about 3am, so if Boots is keeping to the same pattern then it should start Wednesday 7th January 2009, that's just a guess mind.
I'm giving online a miss though, it's going to be havoc unless Mr B fixes his site.

P.S. Word is from Alliance Boots that they've been told some Christmas giftsets will not be going into the sale and are to be returned to the warehouse to be sold again next year at full price. This will be branded stuff such as Nivea, not Boots own brands such as No7.

I won't bother with the online sale as I can't use my points there!!! I thought you could and was really disappointed to find out I could only use them instore!!!! so i will have to brave the crowds in town now!!

Instore 75% off usually starts on the following Tuesday, so that would be the 13th January 2009.

O-M-G looks as though my mum has accidentally ordered 6 ootws! i check her emails because she doesn't do computers - my dad had tried to order 3 for her but was having problems with the boots site, so i said i'd order it on her account. Looks as though his first order went through but he didn't get any order confirmation

she's now got 2 despatch emails with different order numbers

oops!

im doin some last bits of shoppin tomorrow now is it worth me scrapin every penny i can together to buy a ootw if they have any in my tiny boots store or should i not bother ?
anythin else nice to look out for, nice offers ?? dnt even know how many points ive got on my card lol

ymc, Yes! if you can, go for it, the set is really lovely, I worked out the cost of all the items, and if you were to buy them separately it would cost aprox £80. Even the box is rather nice, not cheap and nasty like the GWP!
Would it be worth trying to boost your points with the JK files? to get the OOTW, you would need to buy 8 files = £24 get 3000 points! or if you can find an sel of £2, even better. My OH still can't get his head around this one! "So, let me get this right, they're paying you to take the files away?"

Godd luck lisa for the op, hope everything goes well any you are up and about in time for the 75% sale, those crutches could be a useful tool to get that last bargain on the shelf!

ccmummy - imaginary shopping is the best - all the fun, none of the guilt :rotfl:

In my store the crates that have not been opened will be sent back, but everything on the shelves will be sold on sale.
