  • nope they sold out in stores all over the place on the day of the offer - in our store there was a guy on a microphone counting down how many were left in stock and to be quick, quick, quick.

  • Do you mean someone had put an ad in the paper selling the tote bag OOTW they had bought for £25?

    It seems a little odd that Boots would advertise stock in a newspaper when stock is very limited/was very limited and they haven't put the advertisement on the website. A TV advert is more their style.

    The OP is talking about the tote bag which was offer of the week. Not the value bundle, they said advertised as £25 in the paper. I don't think Boots would tell people they can get an item cheaper by using a parenting club code.

    I don't think the value bundle is very good value as most of the items can be bought 75% off instore currently but I would be happy to hear them restocking the tote :)

    actually my local store still had some the following thursday (23rd) I had ordered mine online and when I went to store to collect they still had some on a stand near the entrance.

    Oh, its the £80 RRP that confused me, cos the totes originally £60. And someone wrote 'in stock now'
    Sorry.
    Anyway, the bundle is back! Thats the main thing!
    The tote wont be back in stock tho i dont think. Cos itll have to be £30 for the 50% off surely?

  • I think by a post put here that is the big pink tote box, will be keeping my eye out in store :)
