Boots had a whole collection of lipcare items with reduced shelf edge labels (sel's):
  • Burts Bees
  • Vaseline
  • Neutrogena (or something that started with a N and was in a posh little box)
  • Blistex / Blisteze (various varieties)
  • Various others I can no longer remember the names of
Most were reduced twice and some equated to less than half price.


Other items with reduced sel's were:
  • Vichy skin care items
  • Heaps of luxury bathing items including Botanics, Sanctuary etc
  • Some mens stuff including shaving foams by various brands, some were reduced to as low as 50p
  • Wilkinson Sword mens and womens razors and blades
I can't guarantee this will be in everyone's stores, so please don't go specifically to look for these bargains, you may not find them.

    @ anyone who buys EQUAZEN EYE Q CAPSULES or CHEWS. A lot of these are reduced in store. The health and beauty magazine has a 200 extra points voucher when you buy them, so even cheaper. PS. Whoever cleaned out LEEDS ALBION, you could have left me at least one Burts Bees lip things! LOL.

    Managed to get some in the end.

    This month's reductions include ROC items, which are also on 3 4 2. I think they were the Hydra Active range. Also saw a lot of tablets for depression, sleeping problems and pmt or pms. I have also seen a lot of sleeping aids and sleeping rings and nose strips.

    Bit of a thick question, if I were to buy some aftershave online, would it be possible for me to use my extra points coupons and mailing stuff if I collected in store? I am sure some people have paid in store. Can anyone shed some light on this. TIA.
