I got the Lee Stafford Shine Head spray the other day (big VERY pink can) and its excellent Mega shiney and very reasonable... £1.49 with a £3 voucher. By far the best shine spray I have ever tried. But as already mentioned, the small yellow cans of Umberto gianinianianiiiii (or whatever!) are free with a voucher.

If I have blown anyone's cover, leave the microdot in the usual place; otherwise, knock twice and ask for Ivan.

OMG!!! so funny :rotfl:

(and to keep this Boots related....ummmm...no sale items left in Croydon Boots when I looked on Friday)

I went for the 6 for 1 today but it all went wrong, picked up something else instead of glossy locks spray and SA managed to scan something completely random for £2.50! (cost £14.50 with voucher off!) Anyway plucked up the courage and took it all back and re-bought and it came to 50p with voucher off, result!!

I have treated myself to some foundation (with 2 free suncare products)
A lipgloss (with 2 free suncare products)
An eyshadow trio (with 2 free suncare products)
And a gift bag (with 2 free suncare products)

Yesterday I was at the Leeds junction 27 store where there was a shelf of reduced hair care, I got John Frieda radiant red hairspray 90p, John Frieda radient red colour preserve £1.50, Toni & Guy rubber shine £2.99 and Trevor Sorbie long hair serum £3.49. Paid for them separately and used my haircare vouchers so just had to put 49p towards the hair serum.

Does anyone know if there are any 90% discounts in the High Street, Birmingham store going...even wrapping paper??

I wanted to go to the Fort yesterday and couldn't so I am pleased that there were no purple bags!

Anyone in Birmingham, ....the big Boots ( opposite M and S ).... has loads of christmas boxes of chocolates downstairs near the photo counter...and none of them are marked as reduced at alll...!!!!! I had bought some at 75% off so this morning tried again and yes 90% discount...SA on tills couldnt believe it....lots of different things there but I didnt have time to price check all of them....but the Belgium Chocs ( made by Thorntons) were 50p a box and the jewellery boxes with sweets in were 70p....so worth a try if your around...

Thanks for the info. Following your last post, I checked yesterday a couple of the boxes (posh Boots chocs and the red jewellery box containing fudge) and they scanned at FULL PRICE.

Will have to try a couple more tomorrow.

Would advise anyone to price check each box before buying.

It's the real dregs sadly. (unless I walked straight past anything)

Two aisle ends of real tat (very old stock, some of it covered in dust) at the back of the ground floor where the main sale items were located.

Some reduced toys downstairs.

And apparently some 90% off chocs. (which have so far eluded me)

Didn't check kid's clothes - may still be some sale stock there?
