Morning everyone i just got 3 fcuk OOTW and i know its not a big deal but minus the vat it came to £39.14. so be aware of that if anyone is planning on using any total spend vouchers from the acm for say £40, you will have to choose something else too! x

My mum nearly came unstuck with this one,.....add some cheapy cotton buds to your shop.I have a draw full of them ..as make up spend, items.:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

If there's potentially bogof then I won't be buying any 3for2 from now on!! Even if they don't go bogof until after Xmas (if they do at all), I've got enough wrapped for under the tree on Christmas day (last years stock bought at over 75% off in September) and my daughter is too little to object to post Xmas sale toys! The problem for boots as with all retailers at the minute is that people aren't prepared to pay over the odds just because it's December and they will wait until prices the offers get better - we know they will!!

Wow - so that's £13.04 each. And they still make a profit.
Just think how overpriced they are at £40 each!!

:eek:

What a rude SA :eek: Sorry you had to put up with such a poor standard of customer service there!

The fact that the banners/ sels were "proper" Boots ones may well suggest there is potential for this to appear in more stores. It's a tough decision whether to buy now so that it's all wrapped and given to people in good time for Christmas, or to hold off and see if it goes bogof.... Don't fancy a Christmas Eve scrum but then would love to make my budget stretch a bit further!!

I guess we shall have to just wait and see. I wonder if it is likely to be introduced in the smaller stores first- larger stores will sell more at full wack (well, 3 for 2 :rotfl: ) so may be inclined to keep the 3 for 2 running for as long as possible. It may even be down to the store manager's discretion. Who knows?! Definitely worth keeping an eye out for those banners though!

ETA- may make sense for stores to introduce this after the OOTW has finished perhaps????

Hmm...phoned CS who knew nothing about it and suggested ringing a store.
Phoned a large store asked if 3for 2 was now bogof. Was spoken to by v rude lady who said "no, it means you have to buy two to get one free". Explained I had been to local Moss pharmacy (who are part of boots and carry boots stock and are all due to be rebranded as boots) who were selling at bogof not 3for 2, I did not require an explanation of 3for2. "Well this is Boots" she went on as if I was asking if a WH Smith offer would be on there!

So, it appears they are not bogof everywhere. BUT they did have special bogof yellow stickers and a banner - proper boots ones in the usual type face, not knocked up with some A4 paper and a marker pen. This suggests to me that there may be bogof soon - what does anyone else think??

Has anyone else found the Xmas mix and match now on bogof?! Keeping my fingers crossed this is nationwide :j :j

Bellamjp- did you notice if this is a limted offer ie just for this weekend? Or is it going to continue til Christmas? Huge thanks for letting us know

Tiara - there were no dates on the SEL and I didn't ask . Usually there are the to / from dates for offers in tiny writing at the bottom left of the label.

Not that it matters so much now as it appears not to be more widespread at the minute.

just been to boots and come away empty handed

that FCUK bag is hideous! Even DD would cringe at it and as for DW, I think she'd prefer a new ironing board cover

still 3 for 2 not BOGOF in my boots incidentally

This does make sense. Imagine bogof half price FCUK bags. On a mega points day!!! When is the last OOTW again?

But they could exclude OOTW and other others from this BOGOF offer......!!!!

I'm going into town later so will check at our main store which is fairly large.

The last one we have been told about is this week's FCUK bag. However, the advertising did states there would be a half price offer every week up to Christmas, so not sure if there will be one starting on Friday 19th or not

LOL Ferret :rotfl: I know the bag is not to everyone's taste but surely it can't be as bad as an ironing board cover :rotfl: Thanks for making me smile
