BOOTS has launched its winter clearance sale in-store with shoppers bagging huge discounts worth up to 70%.
The chain is offering cut-price deals on a host of products including health and beauty kits, Christmas advent calendars and candles.
Boots said it launched the sale today, with discounts increasing from 50% to 70%.
Shoppers can pick up a No7 Lip Gloss bundle pack for £6 instead of £20 a Ted Baker Nail Polish Duo for £2.40 instead of £8 and more.
Customers have been posting any bargains they’ve spotted in their local stores on the Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK Facebook page too.
One uploaded photos of their haul which included a FCUK Everyday Comfort Gift Set with socks and lip balm inside for £3 instead of £10.
Another found Soap and Glory health packs for £6 down from £20 and £3 down from £10.
Plus one savvy saver found an English Tea Shop Christmas advent calendar for £3.90 down from £13.
Other customers spotted Disney bath fizzler kits for £2.40 instead of £8 and Disney towels for £4.50 instead of £15.
Bear in mind, you’ll want to be fast as the products on sale are subject to availability.
You can find your nearest Boots branch by using the store locator tool on its website.
Remember to always shop around when buying any product in a sale too, as you mind find it cheaper elsewhere.
You can use price comparison websites like Trolley or Price Spy or have a quick scan of the internet using the Google Shopping/Product tab.
We had a quick look to see how much some of the items in Boots’ sale costed at other retailers to see if you’re getting a good deal.
The FCUK Everyday Comfort Gift Set is cheapest at Boots, with the only other retailer selling it French Connection where it’s £5.
Meanwhile, Boots is cheapest for the Soap and Glory health packs, with Amazon selling them for £35 and £8.79, respectively.
The English Tea Shop advent calendar was cheapest at Boots. Next cheapest is the RNLI shop where it is £8.
The Disney bath fizzler kits and towels weren’t on sale at other retailers when we checked.
It comes after Boots launched its iconic winter sale online, with shoppers able to get up to 80% off on hundreds of items.
Today, we spotted Mothercare baby hats for £1.20 down from £4 and Ted Baker rose and orchid body spray for £1.80 down from £4.50.
Bargain hunters can also save 50% on an Oral-B electric toothbrush selling for £25 instead of £50.
Factor in delivery costs though, with home delivery starting from £3.95 and click and collect from £1.50.
Both these fees are waived if you spend £25 or £15, respectively.
RETAILERS LAUNCH CLEARANCE SALES
Boots is not the only retailer launching a winter clearance sale to shift old stock ahead of the Spring.
B&M
B&M shoppers have been posting on Facebook in recent days saying they’ve picked up items for as little as 10p.
Some have spotted Christmas baubles and decorations while others have clocked Dettol disinfectant spray.
Another customer managed to pick up a 24-pack of Flash Speed Mop Refills for just 10p.
B&M doesn’t have an online store so any sale items will be found in your local branch.
If you’re on the hunt for some major bargains, it’s worth downloading the B&M scanner app.
The app, which is free to download off Google Play or the Apple App Store, lets you hover your camera over barcodes which then tell you the true price of an item.
The Works
Discount toy and stationery store The Works has slashed the price of Christmas decorations to as little as 25p.
Shoppers have spotted bauble-shaped gift tags for as little as 26p while others spotted whoopee cushions for £1 down from £2.
You can buy the products online but factor in the £3.99 delivery fee, if your order is under £30.
Tesco
The UK’s biggest supermarket has dropped prices on duvet sets and towels.
One shopper spotted a Silentnight’s Grey Teddy Fleece Reversible Double Duvet set scanning for £9.90 instead of £33.
Two eagle-eyed shoppers had spotted the deals at their local Tesco stores in Wellingborough and Shrewsbury.
Shoppers have spotted blue and grey towels costing from 90p in recent weeks as well.
How to bag a bargain
SUN Savers Editor Lana Clements explains how to find a cut-price item and bag a bargain…
Sign up to loyalty schemes of the brands that you regularly shop with.
Big names regularly offer discounts or special lower prices for members, among other perks.
Sales are when you can pick up a real steal.
Retailers usually have periodic promotions that tie into payday at the end of the month or Bank Holiday weekends, so keep a lookout and shop when these deals are on.
Sign up to mailing lists and you’ll also be first to know of special offers. It can be worth following retailers on social media too.
When buying online, always do a search for money off codes or vouchers that you can use vouchercodes.co.uk and myvouchercodes.co.uk are just two sites that round up promotions by retailer.
Scanner apps are useful to have on your phone. Trolley.co.uk app has a scanner that you can use to compare prices on branded items when out shopping.
Bargain hunters can also use B&M’s scanner in the app to find discounts in-store before staff have marked them out.
And always check if you can get cashback before paying which in effect means you’ll get some of your money back or a discount on the item.
