Even Boots are this year by the look of it :rotfl:

Seems that way. They should be careful not to confuse people too much or they'll end up with people being unable to make it. Could backfire on them

Or people just getting fed up and choosing not to bother, esp when many other places are already at 70% off so folk have the chance to do their sales shopping elsewhere.

I'm feeling a bit like that tbh...
Probably won't be able to make it now it's not tomorrow and feels like it's turning into more trouble than it's worth.
I don't feel like some of the stuff is that much of a bargain anymore but still like to go for the fun of it all.

Yes, I feel a bit like Boots are trying to play people and whilst I know the date is never a given, people do take holidays or make arrangements to go. I'm not sure I want anything that badly that I can't get in some form elsewhere without all the hassle of freezing my bits off at 8am.

Well I don’t think I will bother now ,,, I still have a good stash ,, but WAS looking forward to usual banter at the doors and getting a few bargains,, but I really am not that desperate as it means changing days at work ,,,,,
Sorry mr Boots ,, you lost my custom this year ,,,

Can't help but feel this year (and perhaps previously) prices have been inflated at full price to account for profit margins at the 50% / 70% sales and to encourage people to really but 3 for 2 in order to feel like they are getting a decent deal.

I agree about them playing people this year. This is the quietest I've seen the Boots thread so I think theyve picked the wrong year to mess about with the dates! I will probably still go (whenever it finally happens) as I also like the banter whilst queing up and would feel left out if I didnt bother and regret not going for a nosey haha
Not wanting stuff for prezzies this year, think people are getting a bit sick of giftsets. Just want a few bits for myself and Mum (if theres any stock left at Meadowhall)

Wonder how many people are still going to turn up in the morning? :rotfl:

Grrr to boots messing with us. 50% sale still online so I’m presuming it’s definitely not going to be in store. I’d usually pop along to my local at 8 to check but I’m not sure I can be bothered
