FCUK Mens body duo is currently 70% off in store - other gifts are still half price but makes me wonder if they're going to catch us out & do the sale early.

Also rumours on another thread that this year will be 70% rather than 75% - which ties in with the FCUK duo, or it could just be that they've seen this down 70% & assumed all the reductions will be 70%, guess we'll have to wait & see.

The SA didn't know when the rest of the stuff will get reduced - they never find out until a couple of days before themselves.

Could also be that the 70% signage that had been being sent to stores is for other items. Would take somewhat more stock management and pricing for stores to manage the Xmas clearance at different discount amounts. With 50% or 75% off they just need the generic shelf barkers with the pricing 'was X now Y' but that doesn't need to be product specific.

Very true.

Just have to wait & see.

Is it just the Christmas sets that go in the 75% sale? My local boots is very small and only had limited 50% off bits left last week so I'm assuming this 75% off sale won't be any good for me?

Basically anything that was in the 3 4 2 xmas promo, it goes to 50% off, then in theory 75% off, - usually what happens is all the little stores send their stuff to the main stores, (high street, retail parks) for the 75% sale xx

I wonder if this will possibly start tomorrow morning?

I know this is very cheeky, but has anyone tried buying something in the 50% sale then going back in the 75% sale and asking to return/refund and then re-buy? I know it's very cheeky but just wondering if it'd work?

if there is anything i really want at half price i get it and if i find it in the 75% i buy it again and take back the half price, i would think if you do take it back you could only do it with a couple things and ask the SA before

You could actually do it as many times as you like providing you have a receipt. If it's different receipts and a big enough store you could go to different sales assistants.

I've done it from various retailers, no problem, I think a lot of people do it nowadays.
Boots are very good & if you have a receipt there will be no issues at all, just don't do it at the same time - that would be very cheaky!
A few retailers like Debenhams are funny when if you bought it at reduced by 50% or more they'd only let you exchange but you won't have a problem with Boots.
