------------------

The Boots half price sale has already started online...site seems to be running well...although i was good and didnt buy anything

Best answers:

• The boots 50% off sale has started online.
  The website seems to be working which is better than last year.
• anyone know if it is in store too?
• Loads of reductions in store today (Not half price - Around 25%) - Staff were shouting out the prices and saying 3 for 2 still applied and it wouldn't on Boxing Day
• Also was in one of the larger stores today and overheard two of the Managers talking - They said they had nothing left in the warehouse but expected the 'usual rubbish' to be sent into store, They also was saying that Sanctuary had really undersold this year and was a problem so should be lots available!
• My local store said they have been told nothing extra is being shipped in. Just what is in store as warehouse is empty. They said they had no electrical and one bottle of perfume then the gift sets and Christmas gifts that were left, not many.
• Got 2 gift sets last night online (One Million and Paul Gautier) - Both were reduced and the code for Ј5 off when you spend Ј50 on Fragrances was still working plus free delivery, Quidco cashback and Boots points
• Went into a large store today so a little update for everyone!
  All No.7 had sold out apart from the gold make up bags
  Tons of David Beckham Aftershave/Body Wash sets left - These were either Ј9 or Ј10 and the aftershave is either 30ml or 40ml bottle
  Lots of S&G left especially if the men's sets
• Every store will be different, so only way to see will be to go and visit.
• Roaring Meg in Stevenage was a bit of a jumble sale this afternoon. Quite a few "premium" perfume gift sets (Dior, Jimmy Choo etc), loads of Sanctuary stuff, some Champneys sets, and a lot of the toiletry gift sets from the likes of Lynx, Hello Kitty and other cheaper brands. Even the things like slippers and leather gloves had been well picked through. I would say the best stuff has gone - at least one aisle was totally empty. Nothing which tempted me though, so I left empty handed.
  As for the online sale - I was up and filling the online basket at 8am on xmas eve, and they cancelled the items I really wanted. Still delivering the cheap items I only threw in to bump it up to free delivery though. Thank goodness we have female children in the family who will appreciate Barbie smellies for the next few xmases and birthdays
• Went to Guildford today and they had loads and loads of Soap & Glory. A lot of the cheap fragrance sets (Hello Kitty etc), homeware stuff and Sanctuary. Lots of mens Bench stuff and David Beckham etc. I only bought the gingerbread tin set for Ј4 and I had picked up a Jack Wills mug/sock set as all the JW stuff was amongst the sale stuff. I was told at the checkout that the JW wasn't included in the sale but I bought it anyway.
  Just been online and bought a couple of perfume sets and the Beauticology gingerbread house bubble bath set as this is something I wanted and couldn't get in store. Bit disappointed really but will still look in Horsham on Monday when I pick up my online order.
• I'm so glad I ordered my half price Yankee Candles online on Xmas eve! I went into Stratford Upon Avon Maybird around midday and well over half the shelves were empty. I had a half decent browse and nothing I wanted was left AND the only thing I wanted were several the food items! I guess it looks like I'm saving my points for another day
• They've got loads of the soap and glory hat boxes in Bridgnorth. Well worth the money if you use lots of s&g products normally
• Stevenage town store had a bit more stock than Roaring Meg. Loads of box sets by Soap & Glory, Champneys and the mid-range brands. An entire aisle full of FCUK men's gift boxes. Not very much in the way of gloves, scarves, slippers and socks. Same sort of perfume boxes as the Roaring Meg store - Polo (I think), Vera Wang, DKNY apple sets - nothing I hadn't already seen in Roaring Meg. Again, nothing really tempting, but bought the OH a Maglite pocket torch for when he walks the dog, and the Starbucks hot chocolate tins for me.
  All in all, quite disappointed with this year's Boots' offerings in my area. Better luck next year, maybe?
• Had another look in Boots today, Looked like hardly anything had moved from the shelves - Definitely not as frenzied as previous years. I think the Boots sale is slowly starting to lose some of its appeal each year - All bodes well for the much debated 75% off event
• 75% Event? Isn't it usually 70%?
