    Its very bizzare that only one store decided on 75% off. I have been going to this sale for years and never have seen only once branch offereing the reduction. My poor friends up north went on my say and cam back with nothing, so was a suprise for me as well...

    I feel sorry for the branch in Clapham as the manager couldnt keep up with the amount of things everyone was picking up..

    Picked up the No 7 Vanity case £60 now £15
    No7 Nails set 18 now 4.50
    Front Cover cosmetics variuos max i paid was£5.00 for the items
    Strictly come Dancing sets under £5
    FCUK men sets £6.25

    The list goes on.. i was shopping for family too... so the manager was not happy with me:cool:

    Methinks the rest of the Bootsers have now turned green with envy!

    They did have 75% off the FCUK bag set though so bought one of those and got a skinny. Asked about the sale and they said that their tills had not been done so no, it was not on. We got lucky with store 1.

    And now we have to do it all again next week.

    A while ago I was an avid Boots glitch shopper using this forum to gain and share the knowledge but the glitch thread got removed and I haven't been able to find a current one for ages.
    I see you're using the 'skinny' terminology so presume you are also a glitcher! Is there a thread around on here for it at the mo? I'd love to get back into it :p
    There's a skinny woman inside me screaming to be let out. A cookie soon shuts her up!!! :rotfl:
  • There are 2 Boots in Clapham Junction one on the high street and one off Falcon lane, its the Falcon Lane that had the 75% off ... do you think the manager put of the sale too early at this branch??

    Yes I reckon they did put them out early as my post above saying that they said the sale isnt on yet come from both branches.

    Newcomer today, but wanted to let you know SA in Aylesbury chomping at the bit for the sale to start as she doesn't want to buy anything & then find it goes down the next day. Sadly she has no idea when or if the 75% sale will take place:(

    Just to confirm i also rang falcon lane boots store on the following number 02079785960. The SA said that there is no 75%sale at the moment and hopefully it should be on by next week. She also repeated that no store has 75% yet.
