Um my local had changed their signage to 75% off on Tuesday night for it starting Wednesday so I don't think it was just a presumption lol It however didn't go ahead for whatever reason and they were changing them all back to 50% yesterday morning, In another boots they told us to keep checking ...

i worked tuesday and the 75% sale was starting wednesday untill last minute tuesday night when a memo came delaying it so it seems to be changing day by day

If the 75% sale doesn't go ahead, Fearne Cotton's house is going to be full of unwanted hat boxes!

I am not a mother's cousin's friend. I work at Boots myself. This was a copy of a printed-out memo from Head Office I saw with my own eyes. Unless this is an elaborate ploy by my store to throw staff off the scent then I think it's safe to say there probably won't be a sale. I'm sorry to ruin the bargain-hunting party for you but I was just passing on information which I thought other people might find useful.

The sale was never 'set' to start yesterday, that was a presumption made by a lot of people who were basing their predictions on the fact it started at a similar time last year.

As I said, I don't trust info that comes from Boots regarding this sale, and that's exactly what that memo is.

Popped into my local boots earlier this morning after the dentist

LOADS of Christmas and gift stuff on the shelves. There's only around 4 shelf things with gifts anyway, and there are 3 still left!

Like someone said earlier in the thread, once it's off the 3 for 2, not such a good bargain at half price, especially when lots of other shops have been ridding their Christmas stock.

I have been into 3 boots stores near me and there is very little sale stuff left

i think boots have been abit silly not cashing in on the sales this year as nearly even other shop has really good sales on. ive bought loads of stuff from the sales this year and only 1 thing from boots and i work there lol even with my discount ive still be searching elsewhere
