Boots after-Christmas sales - 75% off now over?

Queen_of_NO_MATTER_WHAT

Nothing going on in Nottingham regarding the sale, I did manage to snag a soap and glory bather set which had been returned though. It had been put with the soap and glory, priced at £15, but I took it to the till for a price check and it came up at £7.50...very happy girl (but only because I fed my S&G/Boots addiction today;))

I thought it very odd when I was the only person in my local store at 9:15 this am!

I've never been to a boots sale early when the 75% sal starts, should I be worried about being pushed and shoved?

What did the Nottingham stores have left ( not bothered about waiting for 75% sale) Did you go to both in the town centre? Any out of town?

Someone else tried to get some stuff at 75% after I managed to get all my stuff this morning and they were refused. I was told it was next week, wednesday. It must be an head office decision rather than individual stores.

I went to the broadmarsh and the vic centre

Broad marsh had lots of no7 skincare sets, the nail sets, the bathing sets, only a few ultimate collection, they also had elle stuff, R&M make up sets, the small ted baker gift sets, lots of other bits, they had quite a bit more than vic centre which had loads of no7 ultimate sets, a few other bits but can't remember off the top of my head, what were you after and I'll try and recall if I saw it

It was my first time last year and just a few people waiting outside at my local, all very civilized, lots of happy people!

I was at Vic centre at 8.30am last year, Broadmarsh about an hour later. Vic centre was a pleasure at that time of the morning - nobody pushing or shoving at all. There were a few ladies with trolleys loaded with stuff, but I still got my bargains.

Broadmarsh was busier as its a smaller store, and the aisles are tighter packed - but still lots of goodies to be had at that time of the morning.

Looks like I'll have to another little recce this weekend

Riverside has quite a lot of mens sets left, but not as many as Broadmarsh. Bits of No7 (but not a lot), the floral old lady stuff (sorry can't remember its name ) a few kids bits, mugs etc, thats about it.

Pride Park was condensing its sale stuff all onto one aisle when I was there on Monday - they have some Little People toys in their sale aisle, but really not much else at all - I think they may have had the Sanctuary bags though.
