    Last year when this was OOTW the lovely No 7 lady in my Boots scanned one GWP after each box (i think they were £25 OOTW last time so 3 for £50) I love the box and products and my mum and sis did too. So even so it was £18 spend for GWP the till recognised the total price so gave me three - not sure how it will work this time round though with all the improvements? Boots have had with their till system this year!!

    I didn't get any GWP last year as they had run out locally, but i bought three of these (well, there was no makeup at the bottom, but more fab skincare). I have been using one of them and saved the other two to give as Christmas gifts for this Christmas. I think they were indeed £25 each so £50 with it being 3 for 2 and the £25 price was actually half the proper price IIRC.

    This GWP only started last week after the no7 vouchers ended. I think its about 3 times a year the GWP is on

    I suspect Jamtart means the next OOTW. I personally have no clue what it will be.

    My OH who works in Boots has heard that this weeks No. 7 OOTW is being extended for another week. Info isnt 100% confirmed yet but it appears that like the Elle bag, stock is not moving. There was no mention of whether its just continuing with the 1/3 off and that there will be a new OOTW or whether this will just continue.
    It really looks as if Boots have misjudged just how angry people are about them going back on their half price or less guarantee.

    Ooooo that means if it is extended then the offer is on when the next points night is on! So if its still 3 for 2 you are getting 3 for £80, spend another £20 and you get £24 in points!!

    Whilst we all know the price of the OOTW is naff, i cant understand the logic of saying wait for the sale they will have loads left if they keep this up.
    The way i see it, if the sale is 50% off, thats good but with the 342 being removed, you just arent going to save much and that is why i cant grasp why people go mad for the Boots boxing day sale.
    Having said that, when you get to 75% off its better, but do you really get any of the good stuff left by then.

    I had a lovely 75% sale day last January in Boots - by 11am I'd visited 3 stores, had a pleasant shop, and picked up loads of great goodies, all paid for in points :D. I didn't even look at the 50% off aisle, until the day before the 75% off sale, so I had an idea of what was left. There were loads of the salon hair product packages (at £10 full price) a fair few of the perfume gift sets (the green stickered ones) and quite a bit of R&M and No7 sets too, around here anyway.

    You are SOOOOOO right! I did mean OOTW, I've been away from Bootsing for too long. :eek: Although did get a nifty little refund on the Elle bags after complaining THREE times about them being half price in some stores. thanks to the Bootser who helped me out ;)
