Boots 1/2 Price Sale

samboette

I just popped into the boots on Hayle retail park, not there for sale stuff but needed to get some tablets! Not much there, would have got an S&G tin but none left but did pick up some picture pens for 75p, a No7 bronze set and a front cover lip set! Paid with vouchers and still have £151 worth of points to spend!

Back from my little Boots in town. There was 7 of us waiting outside so not too bad but the shop is tiny so we filled it Got a few bits and pieces but not as good as last year, no mens stuff except the FCUK scarf/smelly set and it was still too overpriced for my liking :rotfl: so didn't bother with that.

All very civilised except for one woman and her husband (who had been made to collect 3 baskets and stand guard) who was fleeing about from shelf to shelf panick buying, good grief woman get a grip it's only 'stuff' I know money is tight but still..... keep your dignity lol

My haul came to £22.25 saving £66.75 I'd never in a million years pay full price for what I got, not sure it's worth it at 75% off but all done now.

Noticed on the walk to Boots I still had my slippers on :eek: I thought my feet were wet

Very disappointed, at my local store for opening to find out most of the sale stock had been transferred to the stores in Glasgow. I picked up a few sets nothing like previous years. Boots should be mindful that it is local customers who shop here all year. Maybe we should just shop in the major stores now!

Derby Westfield report-

I was Q'ing up outside at 8am along with many others. Got in and out with £35 of bargains and my arms very full with bags by 9am.
There was two ladies, i think mother and daughter. One with a brown bob and the younger with a blond plait who were very rude and kept pushing and shoving to get what they wanted, whoever you are you should be ashamed. But i have to say (although everyone was rushing to get what they wanted) everyone else i encountered were very pleasant. Oh and great idea the ladies who bought in shopping trollies.
Not much stock of large gift sets left when i went, but they will probably restock certain products.

My Boots is medium sized & there were only 2 of us on the doorstep at 8am. I guess everyone went to bigger branches. Ours didn't have masses of stock - no Sanctuary set - BUT no queue or crowded aisles. For the first 20-mins or so it was ust me & the other lady (another MSE'er, of course!) having a fab time filling the crates the SA gave us.

Used all my points & £26 to buy just under £200 of pressies & smellies. Seriously happy with the haul!

What a great start to the day. Do I really have to do some work now?!

I was told by staff member that this will probably be last year for 75% sale - apparently only last minute decision this time and it nearly didn't happen.

Pressies sorted for birthdays and Christmas (and a couple of treats for me) including Sanctuary, S & G, furry hot water bottles, crackers, Ted Baker, Hello Kitty, Boots Indulgence, Number 7. I'm thinking of making another trip. Too tempting as I live 3 mins from store!

Got to the one in Wellingborough at 9am, had to laugh at the people queing up outside Iceland on my way, waiting for that to open! Dont these people know boots was the place to be.

First things it was ok, poliet, not loads of things, but some £25 sanctuary sets and the remaining Hello Kitty bits I didnt already have.

Still managed to spend £34, but I was very chuffed, I think most of that was on me too! :T
