If it didn’t sell at 3 for 2, 50% off or 70% off… it’s probably not worth having.

There was nothing left at 70%,why don't they just donate it,so greedy !

because they need to make profit for their shareholders same as any other shop.

Lots of Lynx shower gel and body spray PEACE essential collection gift boxes for 65p at Waterloo Rail station if anyone is interested x

As above, any stores I've been in had nothing left after the 70% let alone 90%

Nothing left in middlesbrough stores.

90% off not on in westwood cross or canterbury :disappointed: don't they normally do it in all stores at the same time? :neutral_face:

90% isnt online

had quite a few bargains from boots in walsall. brought stuff for 25 quid with savings of 244 quid

was there much left in walsall

Yeah, but now it'll be a loss leader. Still getting people through the doors. I'm going to check out my locals which I wouldn't bother visiting otherwise. But they could donate to a good, tell everyone what they've and get good publicity out of it. Nothing a company does will truly be charitable.

I buy toiletries and donate them to my local homeless shelter x

Everything in Malvern is still 70%

peanuts are not left on the same day as 75% never mind 90%

WOT...

Daughter popped into Boots Buchanan Galleries Glasgow and came away with a haul...they seem to be staggering when they are putting goods out on sale. She texted to say Laura Ashley journal 50p, Ashley memo pad 40p, 3 drawer wooden storage unit £1.60, 3 other items she didn't list, total £6. Says there are two racks of shelving for the sale items, and a pile of boxes and the staff just come along and add more when the shelving empties. She didn't get near the beauty gift sets, says about 5 people queueing in orderly fashion for the next items to be unboxed.

maybe take back all the stuff you got for 75 % get a refund and then rebuy at 90%
:smiley:

Thanks for the post Vrstar, there was a few bits left in my local boots - partly because they don't price things up & as the store is so small. Got a couple of lynx sets for 65p (should have been £6.50) & a couple of hand wash/hand cream sets at 80p (should have been £8 ). Wouldn't have gone in if I hadn't seen your post, so thanks.

Thanks, got a few bits for 65p, £1 and £4.

Celeb fragrances are still 70% off but the xmas gifts are 90% off

Yeah, checked about 5 different perfume gift sets

They did have this for £8.25

70% they will still be making a profit, 90% a small loss. I think you under estimate how much boots make on stuff. I had a shop selling cosmetics and the like, to give an idea of profit margins, I was paying £2.60 + VAT for the celeb gift sets Boots sell for £20, Beckhams, Kate Moss, Kylie etc. About the same for 50ml EDT's. Considering Boots buying power they will have been getting them at a lower price than I was, so 70% off would still yield a small profit.
Cosmetics were all high margins too, for example, Rimmel mascaras boots sell for £8.99 I was paying £1.64 for, the foundations like Wake Me Up etc, £1.85.

High Street Kensington top floor has lots and lots of Lynx. 2 Aisle ends stocked full of lynx gift sets. A shelf of a men's topshop sets too.

I used to work for them, so I think I've got a good idea;-)

True, it may increase footfall a little, but I don't think I said any of it was charitable - they're just minimising losses and managing profit. Just the way it is!

In purchasing? then you will know they are making a profit with 70% off?

about 30 rolls of wrapping paper left at our local store!!!

my local had lots of the champneys manicure sets but they were still only 70% off .... the gift tags and note books were only things at 90 - though this "selectiveness" was annoying!!

Not necessarily, there will be a mix in there. Purchasing only negotiate the raw materials, buyers manage the cost portfolio of the finished goods.

Does boots online not do 90%

Thanks op, got a couple of bags full from my local store in Tiverton.
Only cost me £11 :smiley:

no fragrance has been affected by the 90% discount

does anyone know if fragrance will be reduced?
