    Yes we all have one of these. It was called NEXT TO NOTHING. It's all the rubbish high street and directory can't sell.
  • If you don't like the Boots Sale why are you on a sale thread moaning about it?
    Obviously trying to get a reaction and wind people up. Sure you could do better things with your time like bird scaring or voodoo.
    I like the Boots sale, and am grateful for any presents I get off anyone.

    Did anyone managed to get the sanctuary glass jar or the bronze tin set, so disappointed they had no sanctuary in my local :( do you think stores will have more stock tomorrow

    I was very pleased to get the bronze tin (was one of the must get items on my list, love it!) but didn't see the glass jar; in fact not seen it in the sale at all anywhere.

    I was at work yesterday and start at 8am, 10 miles away from the nearest Boots so wasn't able to go, but I called at my local one on the way home around 4.30 to see what (if anything) was left. There wasn't much, Zoella advent calendars (still giggling over keri gt's earlier comment about them:D), a brand with water bottles etc in aimed at the gym began with F (sorry forgotten the name) and some Hype sets. About half a dozen various food sets and that was it and rows and rows of various different make up bags! I picked up the last berry Sanctuary tin.

    I overheard a shopper telling a SA that she had just come from the large town centre Boots and the shop we were at had less left, so will go and look when they open today.

    I don't mind I was unable to go. I 'guesstimated' the correct day, so it was upto me to book it off. I didn't bother as it was mainly small items I wanted, for DD's friends so I bought them at 50% off. They are teenagers still at school who just love the brands and wouldn't have them (from DD anyway) unless they were bought very cheaply. One of DD's friends on opening up her present at Xmas announced to DD 'Wow I've never been rich enough to own a <insert item> before .

    Hi

    As I am sure you are all aware, it is against the rules to swap personal info on here.

    Posts offering to send each other bargains have been and will be deleted I am afraid.

    Thanks everyone

    Sarah

    as someone said earlier - don't feed the PLYSU ;).
  • Well I thought it was much quieter at my local , it opens at 8 , I spent 114:00 had 3 bags full, I have 3 boys (18-19 & 20) they all have girlfriends , so all the gift sets make up good stocking / sack presents for Xmas , and saves me a fortune in toiletries for the next 6 months !!!
    I also don't have the hassle of going out before Xmas thinking what to buy as my one stop , one shop hit is done for this year ! It's all still in my car boot ,,, need to get it boxed and in loft later !!
    Don't like the negative lady , my kids love these sets and would be gutted if they missed out , so all the time I can give it all to them I will !
    See you next year , and thank you stork x
    :money: I will never be rich but I'm happy :rotfl:
  • I went into Boots in Peterborough yesterday and it was full of women with large binbags clearing the shelves of stock, then dragging binbags to the tills.

    No doubt ebay or local markets will be awash with the stuff by now.

    My medium sized local still has a fair bit of stuff this morning, very surprised! Largely Fabletics, Zoella Advent Calendars, Gift Wrap and the Little something' sets which I think are really nice;I got a few to breakdown as little extras y'day. Other than that just oddments but still lots and lots of candles which were so expensive to start with, I was tempted by the Wax Lyrical bauble tin candles but had to be strict with myself as they tins aren't that useful or practical afterwards.
