    Hi, sa was setting up the offer of the week stand in bham high st tonight, it is the Elle bag on 342 but only 1/3 off, i did mention that the xmas catalogue said offer of the week would be half price or better. Her reply was " well they shouldnt really be on 342 that why its only a third off" and .....??? My instinct was to say and whats that to do with the price of eggs, but i wanted to get home so instead said "oh never mind i will get in the sale then " lol :D. She didnt looked to pleased but hey, Mr b if your reading this, try not to be too stingy pls, i may have to buy my toiletries from elsewhere:eek:

    Mr B is playing a game with us all.

    Im sure he knows that last year we got a full leat of all the OOTW well in advance and we knew what they were and we knew they were half price and 342.

    SO i think him fiddling round witht he prices is his way of playing with us all.
    SO even if we do manage to get hold of the list, we will how no idea of the price.

    I dont even like the elle stuff, but still it seems pricy even at 1/3 off.

    Boots arent gonna shift much if they keep playing this game, 1/3 off isnt that much of a bargain.

    If they went back to half price and 342 all the stock would be flying out, even those who dont actually want it wouldnt be able to resist the bargain.
    :TIs thankful to those who have shared their :T
    :T fortune with those less fortunate :T
    :T than themselves - you know who you are!

    What a cheerful SA. Clearly on 342 in catalogue so the SA is talking rubbish.

    It says it in the Christmas mailing lots of us got and i've seen it on the website. "we guarantee it'll be half price or less".

    Don't think much of Boots guarantees!

    I suggest bombarding them with emails pointing this out and making our feelings known. I just have.

    maybe that wording is only true if you buy it in conjunction with 342? makes it £17.66 which is indeed less than half price. i know what you are saying though but there will be some get out clause for boots there always is

    Good idea Keith.

    I know there will be a get out clause but it's still very misleading or imo false advertising.

    It isnt that. The first 2 offers were half price AND 3 for 2.
