Boots Big Bargains Thread!

The staff in my local store mark the clearance items to reflect any other offers, for example -


if an item is on the clearance shelf at £3 (full price might have been £10 - say Olay face cream for instance) and Olay is currently half price anyway - the staff write on the clearance price ticket "put through till at £6" so that you have to pay £3 and you don't get it for £1.50


if items are on 342 then they sometimes mark the prices up
- item is down to £2 and on 342 so in theory you would get 3 for £4. Not in my shop - they would mark on the label "put through till at £3" so that the total would be £9 less £3 for 342 = £6


Also , recently I bought 6 clearance items (all the same) because they have this "law" about only being allowed 6. My husband was with me and he had the same 6 items in his basket. I paid for my 6 then we put hubby's basket on the counter. The SA said "you're only allowed 6". I said "this is a different customer so he is allowed 6 as well". She wasn't happy to say the least.

The policy regarding 6 is at the store managers discretion. Our local ones usually don't care if stuff is in clearance as they want shut of it because after a certain amount of time they are meant to take a total loss on them and give them to charity, or bin them.

They don't mind people going in at the Xmas sales and emptying shelves of the same product, so they can't have it both ways. If it's 6 per customer, the rule should be all year long for everyone!

I have noticed too that after a few weeks, they just put everything down to 50p to get rid of it all. My local one had all kind of hair dyes, all posh brands down to 50p. Would have been ideal for someone who uses them. I think the normal price is about £5.

Keep your eyes peeled on the St Tropez items on the clearance stand. The packaging has changed and I have seen the price drop from £10 to £5 and now £3.50. So could drop further if they don't go and soon.

I spotted some Soap and Glory fragrances today £3.50 down from £10 and some 100ml body sprays too down to £1.50 they were on 3 for 2 so 3 fragrances and 3 body sprays for £10😀
This was the main Birmingham store if anyone's interested in getting some.

The soap and glory reductions are now even more. Was in store today and they are now 75% off - handcream tubes down to only £1.13! Although 3 for 2 seems to be finished. Also reduced was some sanctuary, burts bees and some boots botanics. Great bargains if you can find them.:)

I got some handcream for £1.13 but didn't go through on 342. Neither did the fragrance spritz.

Boots Fresh 500 ml shampoo now 75p (was £1) or 3 for £1.25. Also conditioner. I found by saving to favourites when saying out of stock it let me add to my basket. Strange! Showing in stock at the mo.
