I find Boots overpriced for pretty much everything it sells.

American owned,  tax avoiding, refusing to pay rents on its properties,  treating its staff badly  -  a shop I'd avoid at all costs.

Then I would assume that the 'Boots Star Gift' thread is not for you?

The Star gifts (particularly the Clinique ones) are something I look out for every year, but I do question those people who go out of their way to tell a bunch of strangers that they won't be buying here - what's the point?

Because it’s an open forum, and there’s a perception among quite a lot of Boots customers that it’s a reputable British company.

In reality it’s neither British nor reputable, and it’s also actively avoided paying taxes which would have supported the NHS that feeds it. 

Awareness matters.

I always buy the Clinique Black Friday Men's set at Boots every year - its a fantastic deal. Even better when Boots also give advantage card points on top of the half price deal. Can't fault it.

Thanks Figgi for the heads up! Managed to get the MAC sets for my daughters, saved a bomb! Really appreciated! Sorry, but I love Boots star gifts!

When did you class it as a British company? The current largest shareholder of the combined group was the largest shareholder of Boots. I think reverse takeover is the technical term usually used

I love them too, the thread is just to inform you what’s on offer then it’s your choice to buy.  Thanks for keeping it updated

It's not been a British company for many years - it just likes to give the impression of being one. And to play down the tax avoidance.
