Was very crazy at 9.30 at the Big boots in Cork City.

People with trolleys with 20-30 packs of fcuk sets.

Ditto, was there at about 8.40 and people had Tesco trolleys full of stuff, literally thirty or forty of the same gift set in each. Managed to grab a few bits myself but parked too far away to get anything substantial

Went to Dundrum and it was packed (well considering it was only 3 aisles and loads of women with trolleys). Got the two gift sets I wanted and legged it.
Next year I think I'll just buy off boots.co.uk and parcel motel it

ucd.1985 · 16-01-2013 2:20pm

No mens sets left in Jervis.

TeletextPear · 16-01-2013 2:53pm

Won't get a chance to check this out till tomorrow, hope there's still some stuff left in Cork!

stickybean · 16-01-2013 2:55pm

Just back from Blanchardswtown, place was absolutely packed, still some good things left, but not loads. There was 3 aisles, now down to two. No mens sets at all. Quite a few people doing bulk buys, obviously for resale. Loads of big FCUK (were €60 now €15) and smaller GOK WAN sets, loads of childrens sets and christmassy things (cards, gift tags, wrapping paper and candle holders).

Was talking to the girl on the till, she said there was riots in Jervis, people were stealing from each others baskets.

I'd say they will be sold out by close of business today.

frogstar · 16-01-2013 7:21pm

Jervis still has some decent stock. No mens sets though

Stocked up on sanctuary, champneys, royal jelly. Will last me all year!

Noticed this last year and again today. Those really big boxes of sanctuary and champeney, a good few were emptied. I always wondered
are some people adding to their own box as they are not sealed so stealing them??

Was in Blackpool before work this morning and there was only 2/3 people there. (possibly because most didn't realise that they were open so early ) Very quiet indeed. Spent far more than I had intended to and could possibly have spent more had I more time. Actually don't like those fcuk bags so didn't get one, (and I got 2 last year) they had quite a few there. They had no food gift sets (besides a pasta one and an apron) which I was

about, had seen nice food sets in Mahon but they opened to late for me.

My present cupboard/box will be well stocked for a long time to come.

Natasha007 · 16-01-2013 9:14pm

Jervis had lots of teen/women's sets but nothing for men. Was pretty packed, everybody loves a bargain!

shannon82 · 16-01-2013 9:42pm

Got my pj's not many left think staff had first dibs on them.not s&g sets left well apart from the hand wash

Busi Girl · 16-01-2013 10:01pm

Liffey valley shelves more or less empty apart from a few Sanctuary gift sets left

fulhamfan · 16-01-2013 10:04pm

Just back from a very quiet Pavillion in Swords. Lots of stuff left including ****, large 60 boxes of C cosmetics and all the other stuff. Even had one or two jammy sets. Best of luck.

athtrasna · 16-01-2013 10:14pm

I tried 3 Boots after Christmas and none of them had S&G other than the handwash

Jc05 · 16-01-2013 10:23pm

got a few lovely sets in Galway this am. no soap & glory though. lots of shoppers with very full baskets

maireadley · 17-01-2013 12:37am

Plenty left in Jervis Shopping Centre, Dublin as of 7.30pm. Loads of Sanctuary stuff, Nice No7 gift sets, plenty of other bits around. I'd recommend if you couldn't get there today! Went to Baggot Street at 830am and there was very little left. Compared to last year, sale wasn't as good. I got loads of Soap and Glory stuff last year, seen nothing on offer at all even in 50% sale
Happy shopping everyone! Roll on 2014 sale!

Going to take a trip into the grafton street and st stephens green store at lunch. Does anyone know, do they have the sonicare electric toothbrushes reduced?

loveisdivine · 17-01-2013 10:14am

I was at the Swords branmch yesterday afternoon. Still quite a bit left. Managed to get a fair bit of good stuff. No S&G though.

ablelocks · 17-01-2013 10:33am

while my wife and her sister went into boots in a shopping centre, I looked after my 3 year old nephew outside the door. After a little bit of watching, he turned to me and said "look at all the crazy ladies, what are they doing?"

17-01-2013 1:06pm

urgh. I bought far too much soap.
/self loathing

RIALTO1 · 17-01-2013 4:45pm

Was in both Henry St & Jervis at lunch.

Henry St - looks like it has been ransacked, 2-3 product types left but plenty of so either had plenty or no good
Jervis - busy but relatively well stocked.

TeletextPear · 17-01-2013 5:11pm

Boots in Douglas Court in Cork is rubbish, if anyone is thinking of going in I wouldn't waste the trip. Couple of JLS wash sets, one or two No 7 nail polish sets and loads of wrapping paper and sellotape.

jamescd · 17-01-2013 6:00pm

Are perfumes, bodyspray, toothpaste, etc.. reduced ? Or is it just giftsets ?

just Christmas sets

dmcg90 · 17-01-2013 6:40pm

Galway looked torn apart today, mind you got a bottle of surprisingly nice Topman aftershave and a bobble hat for €6!

frogstar · 17-01-2013 7:15pm

Regardin the soap and glory, I think boots now sell the overstock to tk maxx so you should see tk stocking them soon (not cheap though!)

abacus120 · 17-01-2013 11:55pm

How'd you get on? Looking to head there for similar product today at lunch if any left?

RIALTO1 · 18-01-2013 1:11pm

I noticed from a distance a sign for 1/2 price toothbrushes in Jervis St yesterday. Can't say which ones, although it looked like a general sign and not one specific make. They quite often have the toothbrushes well reduced, so definitely worth a look.

seamey beag84 · 18-01-2013 2:04pm

Nothing but chocolate and wrapping paper left in the sale, Limerick Childers road branch. Went over today to get an electric razor, lucky i looked at the UK online site. It cost e139 in the shop and 50 pounds online with free delivery with Parcel Motel. A bit of an eye opener seeing the price difference on a lot of stuff. I know rip off republic n all that but some price differences are unreal!

stickybean · 06-01-2014 4:39pm

Anyone know has this happened yet?

gmisk · 06-01-2014 5:42pm

Still only 50% when i was in today, and not amazing stuff left

It might be more amazing when it's at 75% off!!!

rosieirl · 06-01-2014 9:36pm

Not the official 75% off sale, which doesn't usually start til 3rd week in January, but Boots Childers rd limerick have FCUK 'urban something' men's gift sets (body spray) at 75% off already. Overstock!!

Muahahaha · 07-01-2014 1:14am

Is the 75% sale usually in store only or online too?

Kurtosis · 07-01-2014 1:44am

I think this is the first Christmas they've been online, so hard to know!

Witchie · 07-01-2014 2:25am

Not exactly sure if it was part of the 75% off stuff but on the bargain shelf in Monaghan Boots there was a Soap and Glory LipGloss marked down to €3.50 but when I got to the till it rang through as 50cent! Delighted I was. Pity there were none left or would have stocked up.

yeah its online too but from what I remember reading on moneysaving expert you need to be online at 12am in order to get the stuff - might be better off going to the store!
