Not really impressed with Boots stuff this year. If you put a 200% mark-up on goods then discount by 50% you're still making 100% Don't forget there's no 3 for 2 now (which is a maximum of 33.3% discount anyway so at 50% off you're only getting an extra 16.7% off what you'd pay before Christmas). Even at 75% off Boots is still making a profit. Best item this year was an empty carboard box shaped like a heart for £6 !!! Probably cost a few pence to make in China. Sweet Treat stuff was shockingly bad also. But as usual there will be hoards of people queueing 30 minutes before opening for 75% off. Best of luck guys - you pay my wages.

i never manage to make it into town on 75% off day until the shop's already been open for half an hour or so. I only buy stuff I know I will use for pressies, and if I find any of the premium hair products gifts minis at £2.50 I buy them to use on our holidays. £2.50 for 4 products and a gift bag isn't too shabby . Oh and last year I found a something-cottage garden play set which was rrp £25, and was in the 75% sale too.

Hello have not been keeping up with this thread but just went on Boots.com and the sale has gone! :O Does anyone know what that means in terms of the 75%? I don't remember it happening last year...

I think they stopped it online so people think stock is selling fast so we all rush out and buy from the shops! It might work on some people but most of us are holding on for further reductions!

Is it just me or have the sales been rubbish everywhere this year - I'm not holding out much hope for a great boots sale this year, which is a shame because it's my favourite! I'm almost certain it will be the 18th though - 3rd week in jan - has been for the last few years.

Had a quick look in boots yesterday, no toys left so no hope of getting some 75% toy bargains, and to be honest couldnt see any gift sets I fancied either

Yes, my local boots yesterday were having a big move around, condensing the stock onto other shelves and taking complete aisles out so it looks like its going fast, but the shelves are bursting at the seams with stuff, there is loads left! Fingers crossed they are getting it ready for the 75%. It will fly out then and they wont have as much to move around.
