    I've kinda lost the buzz of it all now too, agree it's just far too late. I'm interested to find out what impact the delay will have had, will there be as many people as normal or have people just given up and can't be bothered now. Wondering if this significant delay may backfire on them, after all it's not like it's just a few days!

    I personally feel there's bargains to be had all year round and nothing in the Boots sale to get over excited about anymore. Certainly not worth waiting this long for anyway!!

    I'm sure there'll still be the usual suspects blockading the aisles and sweeping the shelves for the local 'charity / tombola / raffle' (aka car boot sale)

    Personally I'm thinking next year I need to be quicker off the draw with the Superdrug sale - missed most of it this year due to unforeseen circumstances so much of the store stock had already gone by the time I got near one. Still very happy with my 99p travel mug though that I picked up last week :D

    Tkmaxx came up trumps as far as the sales go for me this year. Oh and the M&S Christmas confectionery at 10p each!!
  • Apparently the mirror have confirmed the sale will go to 70% on Friday 1st February ❤️

    You'd think they'd have at least have reduced their cards and wrap to 70% by now. I fail to see how they'll get rid of this now considering cards are a dying breed and wrap can be picked up super cheap after Christmas. Sainsburys had theirs for 20p and Wilko 10p several weeks back so Boots are hardly going to sell it like hot cakes now. Even at 90% off I don't think it would fly off the shelves. Still I guess a charity shop will hopefully benefit from what they don't manage to shift.

    Hello. I wonder if anyone here can help. On Christmas Eve I ordered £45 of half price gifts from Boots.com

    I noticed when my paypal statement came through I got a delivery charge of £3.50. I don't "do" delivery charges. I think Boots might have made a mistake. Do you know how I can get a copy of their website on 24 December as there is no way I would have ordered these and paid delivery.

    Order needs to be over £45 for free delivery. Does it state delivery charges on your order confirmation?
    Will wait and see what happens Friday with the sale, if it's definitely on then...

    Plus the £45 total doesn't include things such as infant formula

    Let's hope Boots doesn't change the date again :rotfl:
