MSE Update: We'd like everyone to discuss the Boots 75% off sale in one place so we're locking this thread. Please do continue the discussion over on this Boots 75% sale thread.

I work for Boots and we were sent a memo yesterday morning saying:

"All sale items will be remaining at 50% off. The company does not have any plans for a 75% off sale this year."

    Clearly if they are not having a 75% sale business has been brisk enough for them at 50% and they don't expect that to happen or they already know the quantities are going to be tiny.

    I agree, there is loads of stuff left at our Boots!

    We have loads of stuff as well, especially those pesky Strictly cases and Fern Hatbox. I think it'll stay at 50% and then maybe when there is literally a couple of things left they'll whack them in the clearance section at a reduced price, but none of the good stuff will be at 75%. :(
  • Either they are trying extremely hard to put us off the scent or it will all go into clearance at the end of January. Can't fool us Mr Boots :p

    'does not have any plans' is still leaving it open to a sale if they don't shift stuff. Don't think there's anything they have that I think is worth buying at half price :(
