  • Thank-you :D I was very pleased with myself!This was in the Canterbury store, I was very happy to find quite a lot of stuff still on the shelves and I'd say there were only about 10 other people in the sale section when I went in just after 11am.Also, it was vey civilised, none of the trouble that others have reported :) xx

    I got £130 worth of goods for £28 in the boots store @ the retail park in Merthyr today; didn't even realise the 75% sale was on, so I was amazed to find anything left!!!

    My friend has just texted asking if they bring out more sale stock over time or if it all goes out on the first day? Our stores over here are quite small so I'm not holding out any hope.

    this is my 3rd yr at the boots sale and they always sell out stock in first few days only little bits are left afterwards ie chocs, mugs, keyrings, gift tags

    will be pushed to find any the good bits after the end of the week

  • I've got a few things I no longer require from my bargain buys yesterday, am I allowed to mention it on here rather than take them back to Boots

    I went to the Canary Wharf branch only to find a small amount of items, I picked up a few good buys but then thought to my self if I really needed it. I bought some things last year and haven't really used anyof it so far, like the strictly sets. I guess it is a real big bargain if you need it or know you can use it for presents.

    Generally I would say no, it pretty much goes on the first day, however last year I happened to go into Boots a full week after the sale and found there was quite a lot there that hadn't been there the previous week - so you never know! I wouldn't say they make a habit of replenishing stock day after day, but it never hurts to go and have another nosey - plus people might start returning their impulse buys so more stuff could theoretically end up on the shelf!

    We could be related! I got a set of 3 seagrass baskets from Tesco, filled the medium sized one full of Body Shop goodies then put a nice M&S Fizz set and another BS gift set in the smaller one, wrapped the whole lot in cellophane (ebay as well!), added some gold ribbon & bows then hired a forklift to get the pressie out of the house and into the car!
