Anyone any idea when the Boots 75% off sale starts? I think it was about the 5th of January last year and I stocked up on gift sets for birthdays throughout the year.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Herbietea, that was 50% off. Last year they went to 75% off but I wondered if anyone had any inside info on the exact date, otherwise I will be in town every day trying to catch the bargins. I've been saving my Boots points for this all year.

I think it depends on the store, our local Boots had a pretty decent amount of stock until the vultures ( and I include myself it that!) got at it! My friend in the next town over has a similarly sized store and they only had a few things left to go to 75% off.

Chloemegjess, did you try online? They sometimes have the sale stock as well.

Online have a 50% sale, and was going by the stock they had left. Our local boots is tiny, so you don't find much at all there!

i would be interested to know as well usually stock up on gifts for the next year.

i dont think 50% off is that great bearing in mind its 3 for 2 before xmas anyway.

laughalot · 31/12/2008 14:36

She has been back in touch but her dh hasnt been told when it is yet, sorry folks.

CarGirl · 31/12/2008 14:41

argh, I want to know this too!

chloemegjess · 31/12/2008 15:18

Yes I tried online first of all. Have only tried in a couple of stores but I am hoping to check some more. To be honest though, that is such a good price for them compared to everywhere else, I think people will have snapped them up by now. They were sold out online the first day of the sale!

snuffyp · 31/12/2008 18:57

i worked there upto last xmas they stopped getting so much stock head office used to send us pallet loads that we did,nt need but then it changed to auto relpen so you just got enough to refill so they don,t now have loads left for the sales

lindseyfox · 01/01/2009 19:56
