Boots 75% sale again!

89 replies

PTA · 12/01/2009 11:23

The 75% sale did not start today in my area and staff claim not to know when it will start.

Anyone any inside info?

Thanks in advance!

Totally!

lou031205 · 14/01/2009 13:36

Only No. 7 Christmas gifts though. Not No. 7 regular stock.

hifi · 14/01/2009 13:49

thats me sorted. 210 for 52. nearly all gone now, one man had huge amounts of stuff, wonder what they do with it all?

some people were acting like wild animals though.

SaltireOShanter · 14/01/2009 15:32

lou - do you live near fareham?
it was that one I was in

SaltireOShanter · 14/01/2009 15:33

I lovemydog - only number7 Christmas gifts are dicounted, but the ordinary cosmetics are on 3 for 2 at the minute!

morningpaper · 14/01/2009 15:57

got a couple of things but ACRES of empty shelves

also ACRES of shelves full of Royal Jelly Bath Products! Bet whoever bought that shite is getting a proper kicking...

SaltireOShanter · 14/01/2009 15:58

Ours (where I work) has loads of Royal jelly too, and Lavender soaps!

morningpaper · 14/01/2009 15:59

Oh yes there will be an EU Mountain of Lavendar Soaps this year

rubyslippers · 14/01/2009 16:02

i did well - got 3 really nice gifts (no royal jelly/lavendar for me )

got travel radio and hackett aftershave as well as Umberto Gianni hair stuff

SaltireOShanter · 14/01/2009 16:04

I hate lavender, but not as much as yardely rose stuff. We have a sample bottle on display and when the old ladies spray it, my ashtma always starts up!

this

Moondancer · 14/01/2009 16:15

So its mainly 'gift sets' then? Am I the only one here to despise the things? End up chucking half the stuff out especially hand lotion or body lotion!

SaltireOShanter · 14/01/2009 16:17

Well ours had gift sets, but also no7 sets, and some toys and wrapping paper and cards and lots of Elle McPherson stuff.

Oh and Royal jelly and lavender

mustrunmore · 14/01/2009 16:24

I got the lovely big balck no7 bag with loads of make up reduced from £50 to £17.12. Got one for me one for friend. And some other bits too. Got a tin of gardening twine for my Mum for mothers day

greenbeanie · 14/01/2009 16:24

Does anyone know if things stay in your basket online? I managed to get a few things in my basket before the site crashed and just wondered if they are likely to still be there if I manage to get back on.

Molesworth · 14/01/2009 16:26

woo

all the No 17 make up is buy one get one free in there today

LunarSea · 14/01/2009 16:35

Loads of Royal Jelly here too. I confess though - I did buy some lavendar stuff as my mother/grandmother like it.

claireybrations · 14/01/2009 16:35

Grr had quite a few bits in my basket online, first they took 2 things out and now the damn thing has crashed, couldn't get to a proper boots today either.

mosschops30 · 14/01/2009 17:53

so i went on the website, had loads of stuff in my basket, then it crashed and have only just got back in there. My basket still there but prices are back to normal, what am I doing wrong

Eddas · 14/01/2009 17:58

moss, i'm the same. If you click on sale update it says they're having problems with their sale. So basically their website's still crap and it can't cope with the amount of people trying to buy!(IMO)

MaggsS · 14/01/2009 18:44

Seem to have wasted most of the day trying to buy a few bits for DD2's birthday.

Have just been on again and althought the site is working it say's they are having problems with the site.

Not worth going to our local Boots as it's so tiny.

Really fed up

lou031205 · 14/01/2009 19:01

Yes, live about 20 minutes drive away, saltire.

mosschops30 · 14/01/2009 19:10

well still cant get online, have just been down to my local boots and its like the end of the world, the sales shelves that were full yesterday are now bare.
Only bought one thing, am keeping things in my basket in case the online starts working

SaltireOShanter · 14/01/2009 20:24

Lou - near me then

pamelat · 14/01/2009 20:26

I spent an hour and a half putting things in my basket (because it was so slow) and then the site crashed and I lost them all (not signed in)

Now the boots website says that it wll not sell the sale items on line and that you have to get to the shops.

Am quite fed up with them. Time when DD is asleep is precious and I simply wasted it!!!

RiaParkinson · 14/01/2009 20:29

pamelat

i have had exactly that with boots online

REALLY frustrating
