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

Do you realise that heavy snow is forecast for a lot of us on Wednesday morning? Oh, well, I'll be in Boots in my wellie boots!

Preston Fishergate is my particular favourite...staff really friendly (well, if you select your victim well), and don't mind spliting purchases.

Went in last week and there's plenty to be had...no S&G though.

store in Ashton-Under-Lyne and store in Hyde have hardly anything left at all.

Hyde has a few mens fcuk sets left, loads of hot chocolate cups, the pink stripe ones.
Ashton store has a fair few of the tubes of biscuits left, but not much else.

Dewsbury store has quite a lot left and they keep bringing out new stock that was not even in store before christmas.

Was just going to post about the Ashton one, it's really rubbish. Most of the shelves where all the christmas stuff had been are completely bare.

I can't even get into Manchester to go to the big one either so doesn't look like i'll be doing too well out of the 75% off sale

Anybody been into any of the Coventry stores? i havent been in for a week and havent checked, am hoping to check tomorrow see wether its worth heading in or not...

As it goes is it worth doing online order? I never bother with boots online, and i guess there wont be much left..i still have stuff favourited etc so it could work lol Do boots send to store?

Last year loads of extra crates were being loaded onto the shelves during the SALE, so maybe its a gimmick to make it look like things are running low upto the sale to get people to buy at 50% instead of waiting for the 75%

Think that is a good point. They have had a 75% off sale for the last few years so must know a lot of people wait for that. But if the stock is looking low people will buy it at 50% rather than miss out. So constant putting of stock out when things go would make sense, then what is left on the night before the sale all goes out to get rid.

Popped into White Rose (Leeds) today, not planning on going there on Wed as I work in the city centre so will be heading for the Albion one. In my opinion there wasn't muchin WR but I am mainly after no7 stuff so guess it depends on what you are after. Last Wed the Albion store had everything I wanted, decided not to check out stock levels before Wed morning as it is the only one I am going to so might as well see what is available on the day and take it from there. Otherwise if there is only one of what I want on Tue night might have this overiding urge to hide it behind something in the shop elsewhere to find on the Wed and I am pretty sure that is not allowed!!!!!!

Sorry to burst your bubble but I know that all the stock on the shelves is ALL the stock the stores have.
