Where to find Boots reduced items?

Hi, I often see how MSEers grab great deals from Boots from the reduced items sections instore.
I have been into my store week after week over the past couple of months & just cant seem to find them anymore.
In my local store they used to be at the end of an aisle, but they havent been there just recently.
I was wondering whether your stores move where they put the reduced items, or whether my store has for some reason stopped selling reduced items?
Or do they now mix the reduced items in with the full priced items?
Any ideas would be much appreciated.
TIA

    Same here, I have a theory that they need the selling space on the end of the aisle for christmas stuff. Hope it returns in January, not that its ever any good. I believe the prices they reduce to are managers discretion, and our manager must be particularly tight!
  • Don't know if it applies to your store or not, but when I asked in my local store about the reduced socks and tights everyone seemed to be getting cheap (this was a few weeks ago), I was told all those reductions had been done in the summer. My store "prides itself" on getting the reductions done as soon as possible (!)
    Maybe all the cheap stuff has gone, reduced weeks ago, but not to the silly prices we see on here?

    It's only a game

  • I think it varies with each store. I go in several and they are all different. I get most of my bargains from Kings Lynn but if I travel to Norwich I rarely see anything reduced.

    I was told that my local has removed its reductions section, and it won't be coming back :(
