A daft question....probably!... but are all the items that are now 50% off going to be 75% off or is it just some of them?

Hey Girls,

Was at the hospital with Daddy today. Just got back. The stem cell harvest went great today (well the first machine broke down, but they had a backup!). Thanks so much for all the support and prayers. I have no idea where he got the patience from. I really appreciate. Got the worst part in 4 weeks time, and then he should be fine I think. I can let my hair down for 4 weeks. Woohoo. Anyway, thanks so much.

Managed to have a quick look in the Wakefield store, and they had very little gift sets left. In fact, they didn't even have a No 7 clearance section. Plus they were selling some of the No 7 suncare at full price, everywhere else it's on clearance. Pants or what? Also if anyone sees and wants the ADMIT IT YOU WANT ME sets, go get them. They are pulling that offer from most stores here.

Will the 75% sale really start tomorrow? I'm not too sure about West Yorkshire. Most of the stores have very little gift sets left. If they are doing this well at 50% off, why bother knocking off another 25%? Hope it is anyway. Gonna be doing 2 Boots stores tomorrow, so hoping to find some cheap stuff, not that I know what to do with it mind you. If the 75% sale starts tomorrow, they still have quite a few of those dodgy SOAP AND GLORY sets with the PINK GLOVE or whatever it is?

I know a lot of you guys spend quite a lot of time online (like I can talk!), why not join up to one of the many survey companies? A lot of people make a few £10 here and there, and most of them do Boots vouchers, so it's all the better. I know a lot of people on here say they don't have enough moolah to go to Boots etc, well why not join Valued Opinions or Mum's Opinions and start earning straight away? I do them, and have made tart loads of vouchers from them. I know ANGIE100 and BABAFETTE are fans of them too. Give it a shot. If you look at my signature, it has a list of genuine companies that actually pay up. Google them, sign up and start earning. PS. I don't get anything for recommending them, I just want all you guys to benefit from it. Thanks.

Can I ask my question again please, 'cos now i'm worrying as the only bits I want I have just seen aren't half price on .com!!

Is EVERYTHING with a green parcel sticker going to 75% off - it's kids toys i'm talking about here! Went instore earlier this evening and eyed up a few bits, just gone on .com to check prices and none of them are 50% off! Does this mean they won't be included - even though they have the parcel sticker AND are in the same place as all the other parcel stickered and 50% things?!

not sure if it's already been said, but you are (or wasn't) not able to use the double points coupon twice on the same day, anyone else heard of this?

In my store, only things that were 50% off ever go to 75%, but Boots aren't what you'd call consistent, so other stores may be different.

Hi there

I went to the 75% off sale last year on the day it started. I visited 3 different branches and each one had about half a dozen people and a few members of staff looking around. It was quite relaxed - no one was pushing or shoving or anything like that!!!! In fact I have seen it busier on a normal Saturday.

These stores were all in Edinburgh by the way....snipped

It was very busy in a nice way (with a few exceptions ) here at the start but after the first half hour or so it got crowded & stayed that way which meant some pushing & grabbing.
I was unsteady on my feet then, so had to quit.
