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

jaredava

Hello got loads, live in Galway in the west of Ireland so was lucky. Not as many avid shoppers here it seems. Still some things left mainly christmas cards etc. Anyone know if there is a scheduled 90% off this year could do with buying wrapping paper and cards for next christmas. Thanks everyone for all the info

Coventry yesterday (around 4 or 5 pm) had loads of ted baker sets, phot albums and frames star trek stuff, a few survival kits but they were open and half the items were missing, probably couldve made up a box but it wasnt worth it, loads of chocs left and a fair few FCUK sets...i only spent £11 but have around 6 or 7 gifts for a few birthdays coming up...bargain me thinks
Thankyou everyone of this site! i wouldnt have bothered otherwise lol the online sale seemed only worthwhile as a bonding session for us lot lol!

No idea what happened in 1979, was born in 1986 but i understand what you mean. But what's done is done no point in dwelling over it.

Was wondering if someone who lives in London knows the answer to this, Which is the largest Boots located in London, i thought the ones in Oxford Street was big but i was told there is a bigger one in London but i cant remember the location of it, Im trying to buy these neutrogena refill pads and most of the boots i go to only have 3-4 in stock, I want to buy more because its both me me, my sister and my neice.

you could try Westfield, Shepherds Bush, phone first, so you're not dissapointed!

I am surely not the only person to have bought something at 50% off, returned it and bought it back and 75% off. Possibly, the only person to have owned up to it. In fact, I thought about doing this with 2 items I had bought in Monsoon, and someone on here posted she frequently does that. I don't see what the problem is.

It was quite simple. When I collected my hatbox, I asked the SA what would happen if I decided I did not want it. She told me I would get a refund and it would go on the shelf. I said could I do that, and she said yes of course I could.

Interesting!

I personally wouldn't do that but that's just me (brought some good stuff boxing day in Boots sale)

Yes I'm sure this is def the biggest shopping centre in London and the Boots is massive - I recall somebody posting on here yesterday that they were well stocked (but that was yesterday!)

No, you're not. Havent done it this year but wouldnt think twice about doing it. Ive even had stuff at full price that I have returned if it was in the sale.

hmm, mee too, as hubby said last night, after you have paid for petrol/bus fare, maybe even car park charges, i'm sure that it's not really worth it, I've still got a sealed hat box and reciept and I really can't be arsed to faff around, I would only get about £2 back after petrol and car park!

I'm just grateful to get one!!!
