    a friend of my mum's works in our local boots. When discussing sale stock etc with her yesterday she informed mum that they had received an email informing them that the 50% sale would be on until 24th January. As stock in that store was low already she suggested that should mum want anything decent to get it now as she didn't think there would be alot left for the 75% sale. Last year they had racks of 75% off stuff but she reckons this year it would be minimal.

    However, our boots in a tiny one so stock levels may be different in the bigger boots stores.

    I took something back to Boots a couple of days ago for an exchange, I didn't have the receipt and the SA was quite appolgetic that I could only have an exchange for it's current value. That wasn't a problem as the item I was exchanging it for was also in the sale so I wasn't losing out in any way. i mentioned that I wanted to make sure I did the exchange before the 75% sale started, when I mentioned I didn't expect it to be for another week but wanted to be sure I'd done the exchange for before it went down in value agin. The SA then mentioned that she'd heard that there might not be a 75% sale this year as they didn't have much stock left, the shelves are pretty emply in my locals, with the exception of a few things they've loads of. This agrees with what shelly has been told but we'll only know whtas happening for sure when it happens. Just wanted to pass on what I'd been told.
  • I asked SA in local boots today when 75% sale might start and she said that they had all been told that it probably not going to happen, as the 50% sale is going well. The SA was also disappointed! As quite a few people have heard it, it Seems like it may not be going ahead!!

    I'm gutted, I was holding out for it! Oh well, guess i'll save some money!

  • I'm sure there will be a 75% off sale but by the time it happens there will be only a few bashed Gok Wan sets and loads of Strictly Come Dancing ones left to reduce!:(:rotfl:

    There's hardly anything left online as it is. I'm delighted to say there is NOTHING I want or feel the need to stay up for at silly o'clock. Wow, a year off!

    I bought one of the Extracts gift boxes yesterday. I have never tried the range before but I thought at a fiver for a full sized body wash, body scrub and body butter I couldn't go wrong.

    Having now used it, I am seriously seriously impressed, especially with the body scrub. The only slight critiscm I have is the paper labels. Not very shower friendly:cool:

    Sod waiting for 70 percent off, I am going back to Boots tomorrow to buy as much of this stuff as I can get my hands on.

  • Hope I get this right as it's my first post.

    This week have seen 3 dates posted over the internet for the Boots 75% off sale - 12th, 13th, 14th Jan. This seems a bit early but instore sale usually starts shortly after the online one. Checked Boots online today, they're still showing items at 50% off however if you type 'sale' in their search box there's a message referring to phenomenal demand for their 75% off stock which has sold out online. Then goes on to tell you that the sale is continuing in store. So I'm expecting the instore prices to drop within the next few days.

    Hope that all makes sense.
