I tried to use a £5 voucher for Time Delay handcream, but the till would not accept it - worked fine on TD wipes. The CA was surprised, as she said she was sure it had been working and she had planned to get some handcream.

No, it doesn't work with the current £5 vouchers. Some SA's will let you have it though, even if the voucher doesn't scan - just depends on getting the right SA to put it through.

I can't get in to my local Boots 'til about 3.30ish tomorrow, I hope there's still stuff left, what are my chances?

since this is my first 75% boots sale, I am also wondering (more curiosity than anything else, since I plan on being there in the morning at opening time): is it a rush for the bargains? Yesterday in my local store they still had loads of gift sets, so there will be plenty left? Or am I totally mistaken and this is not a MSErs/Bootser thing but a general public thing?

I have found the new mag!!! i was leaving and complying to my boyfriend that there still is no mag in our boots and was going to show him what I WANT for free... then behind the No7 counter have have few hidden mags!!! didn't have time to use it as we were on the way home but there are still lots of sale no7 cosmetics...

and see you all tomorrow @ 9 I will be in rush as I have to go to work after that and wont be going to Deepdale, so hope for good bargains then...

Does this mean that the Highlighter is limited to 1 per person due to the fact the AC will lot allow you to use more them one, even on seperate occasions????

Has anyone bought more than 1 but on seperate visits???

Just rang Boots Retail Park Liverpool. They said that they start their 75% sale on Wednesday. (Drat)

Also rang Liverpool city centre store, who had previously said they were starting today, and were given this reply.
SA:- Its not starting today,

Me:- I was told yesterday it was.

SA. We thought it was too, but I have just scanned something, and it is not coming through as 75%

Me:- Is it likely to change later today then.

SA:- Dunno. Maybe someone has to do something to the till (duh):eek:

No further cofirmation was given. Grrrrrrr.


Why is it all so secret, I don't get it. Its not free, and they are a business, who want to sell their stuff.
If anyone knows any different can you please post. Thanks

The staff want to pick the best stuff for themselves. Last year I got down to my local store really early and 3 SA's had already filled their baskets (they had several each) to the brim. Despite this, I still managed to get quite a lot of gift sets. It was a bit like 'supermarket sweep'. Only difference, we had to pay for the stuff :rotfl:

Bury Boots sale is starting on Wednesday, so I was told on the phone this morning.

are the baskets in boots mesh fabric ones or metal ones? the metal ones are a nightmare with a buggy:rolleyes:

You can have as many as you like. I've had quite a few. I used my AC on all but 2 transactions.

I also tried with a sale item and the SA pointed out it could not be used with any other offer and I too had to ask for my voucher back and have the items voided off my sale
