  • Last year 75% off sale was 19th January,how sad am I ,I checked my bank statements the other day to see when it was! but I did get lots of this years pressies from it , when I was in store on Saturday they seem to have loads and loads of stuff left still.
  • You are not the only "sad" one jayneybella! I made a note on my calender!! I too got most of my Xmas presents in the 75% off sale! I popped in Friday to see what was still around and there are still loads of gift boxes and toiletry sets. I was, however, tempted by the cute little FCUK boxes (£5 now) and got 3 of those to put away. Also 2 lovely photo frames, down to £6. Would have got more but they only had 2 left! Now awaiting my chances in the 75% off sale!!

    Do bear this in mind (the sale items not 3 for 2) it's a very clever marketing thing. Yes, the half price sale is cheaper than full price 3 for 2, but remember you're not really getting half off (I'm only saying this as some people I know have said this - not criticising those getting a bargain as yes it's still cheaper)

    I.e. 3 items at £5 full price = £15 3 for 2 = £10
    3 items full price £5 (half price £2.50 each) = £7.50 - no 3 for 2

    But still grab em, not trying to put anyone off lol
    28/04/11 - A bad day for shoppers everywhere (Tesco shoppers that is!) RIP DTD :A
  • The 75% sale in January this year was instore only as they sold out online
  • I can't wait either! Me and my mum have been outside the doors the last 3 years waiting to open for 75% off! My town only has a small boots, and use to have a boots pharmacy which had a little 2ft display of gifts. (Tip to anyone with one nearby - go check, we found all the decent gift sets in our pharmacy as no-one seemed to go in there!!) Unfortunately it closed down a month ago so will have to hope there's some decent bits left in the main shop.

    I did manage to get a playmobil pirate island set for my little boy and a little lego police bike for £2.50 which is a great little extra gift :) Bring on 75%!

    There was no online 75% sale last year - someone on here posted that it was because they were moving the warehouse so all the stock went out to stores.

    I checked my order history and the year before I ordered online just before midday on 19th Jan. :D
    Less stuff, more life, love, laughter and cats!
    Even if I'm on the shopping threads, it doesn't mean I'm buying! Sometimes it's good to just look and then hit the CLOSE button!

    I'm just going to say again, as 2 people have pm'd me saying the same thing, everyone is saying about the 75% sale in the 3rd week etc that may well be, But it was instore in Belfast City Center BEFORE then this year, as I was able to get 2 FCUK sets on sale for 2 birthdays I have on the 10th and 11th of January. I also got some things for myself but I know for a fact it was earlier than the 3rd week, so it might be worth checking your stores before then just incase :)
