Didnt really know where to put this.
When boots have their online sale on boxing day for 75% off, is it 75% off for everything??
Also what kind of things go in to the sale? Can anybody remeber from last year how much the crackers, cards, gift wrap, mini bailey, cooking gift sets etc were reduced by.
A little early i know but its my 1st year doing a boots xmas sale shop.

For example the mini bottle of archers in a box is £5, will this then be reduced £1.25 in the boxing day sale?
Sorry about all the questions just getting excited lol, sad i know.

Thanks alot

    I thought it was the 50% sale first just after Christmas then the 75%. Not everything is 50% or 75% it's up that percentage reduced. Lets hope its better than last years debacle.

    Diane is right

    Firstly it is up to 50% off and it doesnt always start on boxing day then about mid January they do up to 75% off. To be honest if there is something you REALLY want then dont wait for the sale because some years it is very slim pickings, its great for picking up presents and stuff like that but dont count on anything being in stock and even if it shows as in stock being delivered!

    It is 50% off first then 75% then what is left by the end of January is 90% off.( very little last year just some weird cards) But if there is something you particularly want get it when it is on 3 for 2 as the sale stuff doesn't come off as 3 for 2.Some items I fancied last Christmas were sold out long before the sale started.

    Hi

    I wonder if they will have a 75% sale as the website crashed for days this year and they left the items at half price.
  • I havent done any shopping on boots.com before, i hope they do do the 75% sale, im looking forward to it.

    I love the boos online sale, but I don't love having to get up in the middle of the night to bag the good bargains! However I have managed to get so many good birthday/Xmas presents in the sale that get stashed away until needed that it is worth being up when it first goes live.
    I hope they sort out all the issues they had last year!

    re the sleepless nights of waiting for the 75% to start, the stress.
