Boots sale

No more selfish than feeling like you deserve a bargain more than someone who's got up early to get there first IMO.

I can both points if honest I've got 5 boys so to somebody who's just got one or two I could look greedy , I do think though those will 2/3/4 trollies should be limited or those who just sweep the shelves and block aisles with prams so other family members sweep is a bit off playing dirty
We all like a bargain who doesn't but I do agree should be bit of a limit or some tighter rules
Ok mini rant over lol

I've managed to get a half day on Wednesday afternoon but goodness knows if there'll be anything left by then.
Gearing myself up for major disappointment

Still hoping it will be online too; have no intention of going to the nearest Boots, which has a poor selection at he best of times.

I think people go a bit crazy when the boots sale starts, I'm going to go down and if I get a bargain great but if I don't it's not the end of the world. In my local store I've noticed some stock is kept back and put out later the same day. You've got to treat it as a bit of fun and not take it so seriously.

I'll move any prams blocking the ends of aisles. I'll do it gently and carefully if there is a baby in the pram, of course, but I'll move it for sure. Using your child to block access for other people so you can get more bargains is just beyond disgusting. I'm sure I'll get screeched at for doing it, but I don't mind that.

I didn't say I deserve anything, and I am up at 5 every morning, have done all my working life. Just a little consideration would be nice in this me me me world. You obviously need it more than I do so will give it a miss, sounds like a right fiasco anyway!

This is my view point. No one is more entitled to a bargain than another, and the idea of store putting in limits, while nice, is a bit hopeful.
The limits that Morrisons do are different, because their offers are loss leaders, rather than clearance.
Sales are always pot luck, and the whole point is that you don't get choice, you get what's left.

I have to take dd with me tomorrow as I have noone to look after her, I hope nobody thinks I have brought a pram to get in peoples way and block the aisles, It's genuinley that I have no childcare, our store was lovely last year with us passing each other things if they were out of reach and chatting about the bargins etc, I hope it's the same this year.
