    Surely the manager was overiding the prices in this store? oh dear

    I couldn't see the manager running around the till oveirding prices for every subsequent customers. Suzysmith must be one of the early one , I.e. perhaps the first few
  • just called my local boots they said it could be this weak yay hope its tommorow
  • Okay okay - so this is what happened... I did go very early this morning ... the stickers and banners were up and a few of us did get the items off 75% off.. Ill post reciept shortly for those who think its made up...

    I rang back this evening ... the SA said sorry no 75% sale , i said but i came this morning and got the stuff at 75% so what is going on....

    So SA says hang on manager will talk... lo and behold the whole thing was not meant to happen ... the store put up the sale too early and said that they had to honour those customers who had come into the store at that time (me being one of them)...

    They have no gone back to 50% - OMG! The are having a meeting to discuss how they got into this mess aparrently....So my guess is Next Wed for all Boot stores to go 75%...
    :T
  • PS Yes manager was overidding the prices manually

    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

    I don't think there is one, just random threads which is a shame. I tried to use the £5 off voucher on reduced make up and the computer said no - hubby was pleased with his shaving gel for £1.75 tho.

    I remember going in about 2 years ago with a a skinny and they had loads of reduced No7 skin creams and I bought loads of them, still got some left, but those things do not seem to happen these days really.

    I've got about £40 on my card, patiently waiting to be used in the sale :)

    I got loads of Soap and Glory tins for £4 today - and inside there are vouchers for 200 points when you spend £10 on S&G. Ha ha!! They have an expiry date of Feb 12 on them so if you buy this set, remove them, else you'll look like a cheapskate next Xmas!!

    Spoke to a member of staff on the phone today in a work capacity and just threw in the question on the 75% sale. They confirmed it should have started today but they pulled it. When I asked if they knew the official date they didn't but said it will be in the next few days. ??? None the wiser :(
  • I just phoned Boots at Bluewater and they said it's not tomorrow (Thursday).
