    Pleased to see whilst browsing the Valentines Day / Mothers Day version of the 'Star Gifts' (yawn!), that Boots have cut back on the plastics!!! Cardboard inners and no plastic film cover on the front of the Sanctuary gift either....

    Well done Boots!!!

    Hurrah! About time too

    I was in my very local tiny Boots today, they still have several Little Mix make-up sets and the obligatory rolls of wrapping paper :D

    Picked up a couple of hooded ponchos, £13.00 to £3.90. Long sleeved T shirts, £6 to £1.80. This was in Watford, Waterfields, not INTU. They were marked 1/2 price but went though even less.

    I had the only 2 ponchos, but there were quite a few T shirts. I didn't price-check the girlie stuff.
  • Wonder when the 90% sale will start

    Still loads a stuff in my local, nothing spectacular but would be tempted by the odd thing at 90%, if it ever happens!
  • Such a shame no sale in my local boots
  • I went into the Luton branch on Saturday and they had selected additional items in the clearance section - Sienna X tans (items from whole range) , Model Co Tan (whole range) and a few suntan lotions reduced to £2 each

    Just been into boots for the first time in about 3 weeks today. Didn't bother with sale and hadn't had any cause to go there. Happened to pass today and was astounded to see how much 70% sale stuff was left, 17 days later!!! Literally a whole aisle side crammed with Fat Face, Little Mix, Harry Potter, and a few other brands I don't recall. I can't remember ever seeing more than a few gift tags and tatty bits left on otherwise bare shelves by the following day in years gone by, I've definitely never seen this much stock left 2+ weeks later!!
  • Still some stuff left in ours too the other day but nowhere near an aisle side! But there were loads of toiletries, hair and beauty products in a clearance section next to the 70% off stuff and no-one was buying those either!

    Same in mine, loads more than in previous years but as it was so late this year I think they maybe spent some of the time shipping stock to the stores where they were most likely to sell it.

    Any sign of 90% day making an appearance yet?
