Boots Sale

Africat

Still plenty left in mine this morning.
Mainly Hype, K&K and Zoella (Zoella hadn't gone down at all since. I was in yesterday morning :rotfl:
A few other odd things too from what they had yesterday though a good amout had gone. Didn't buy anything else.
They did have some Beauty Bakerie Pisa Blush sets but not priced and wasn't sure what they retail at, though I believe it's meant to be decent stuff.

£45 full price so £4.50 now (although they're still on at half price online)

Thanks!! I thought it was on the higher end price scale as I know QVC sell it sometimes too. They looked nice subtle colours but I wouldn't use the mascara. Not much to it for £45, even if it is a decent make!!

I was in a store today, and to be honest I totally forgot to look.

I've done a right bargain! :T

I've spent £0.00 on the Boots sale. The reason? I've still got sets from 3 years ago in my airing cupboard waiting to be gifted to relatives/friends/acquaintances. Last year I over spent as I got caught up in the hype surrounding it and on the day. I overbought and struggled to fit them in my house. Many folk I know, know that the sets are from the sale. I know you shouldn't be un grateful but most of my family also shop in the sale too, so what I give my niece for her birthday my SIL will give me a similar boots gift back for my birthday etc.

Anyway this year I decided that I would not shower my family with boots sale gifts and use them myself. Also that I would save the £150+ towards my summer holiday.

So I'm £150 better off and that's my money saving deal :rotfl:

I'm not bashing anyone for shopping in the sale, its only good if you NEED it. I didn't

I'm also guilty of having stuff from the last 2/3 years still to be gifted too. Well done on staying away from it, I tried to restrain myself from the sale this year but failed yet again!! Most of what I get tends to be for myself though barr the odd bits as stocking fillers and bits to breakdown and put in Advent Calendars and crackers etc... I never spend anywhere near £150 either so I'd like to think I'm not that bad, haha

I find Boots revamp the packaging on their indulgent bathing ranges every couple of years or so. With this in mind I don't get too much for other people as I don't feel so good about gifting it as it's obvious that I've had it in a while or might even come across as an unwanted gift of my own.

Wonder what they'll do with excess stock then? As my local as still got tonnes of the Kylie Jenner stuff in. They can't shift them! lol

Mines got tons of Zoella calendars.

Mine had a shelf full too and several boxes of wrapping paper which was unheard of in previous years. I did cave and buy a roll with flamingos on it for 30p yesterday with tags for 10p (I never have matching tags). Thought it would be a fun departure from the other rolls I have in my stock which are generally a bit more traditional in style.
