Has anyone got any idea if the 70% off sale will be instore this year January 2022? I didn't go last year, it used to be Wednesday which changed to Friday, cannot find much chat about it on the forum, many thanks in advance. 

No, it changed pre-Covid times to around the last Friday in January but like last year, I'm assuming it's going to be later this year as they can't really be seen to encourage the non-social distancing it would attract, and its not realistic for everyone to prove their jab status or do an LFT before entering, lol. I know other stores have had sales at 70% but the Boots sale is a different scale! 

It will likely depend on the government guidelines when the next stage is announced, they're unlikely to do anything before then I wouldn't have thought. 

Masks and home working 'guidance' may well continue until March, even if other restrictions ease, so I guess it will be up to Boots to make a 'sensible' decision once restrictions are next relaxed, and they're able to assess the latest guidance. 

Thank you very much Africat, for your reply,  I did think they might hold off for a bit, because of the distancing. Looks like the guidelines are going to be changing, so will have to wait and see. Daughter has a big birthday coming up 13th Feb, so fingers crossed.

One year it was even later in Feb, so who knows. Anyone's guess with the way of the World at the moment. We'll see...
