Re Boots shopping, I simply buy my items online and then collect, free of charge, from my local store who also have these identical purchased items at a higher price. Crazy?

I saw something on line at a good price, so I went into town to buy it in their shop. It came up at a much higher price, they said our online shop has different prices to in store prices! That was Boots the chemist.

I once saw a good deal on an item I'd been saving up for.

Online it said, "Now $19 saved $30 on regular price"
and because I knew that higher price was accurate, I asked a friend to drive me to the next town to buy it.

When we got to the store I found the thing, took it to the Pay Desk and the young man said, 'That'll be $49 please.'

'But on your website it says, $19.'

'Oh, that was yesterday, today it's back to $49.'

Did I buy it? Did I heck.

Do you have the receipts for the items? if so return the jumper etc and purchase at the sale price. Shops are used to this.

But please note that when I have gone online during sale times and clicked on the size and colour required, it is often sold out.

Take heart in the fact that you have done your Christmas shopping and are not scrambling around searching for reduced price gifts that have sold out or are in limited
sizes tchsmile

I wish stores would stop sending me emails of all the things they have reduced in price after i have completed most of my christmas shopping!!!! I have just seen the very same Xmas jumper i purchased reduced twice in the last five days and dressing gowns now half price!!!! I am going to make a note on next year's calender to not buy anything untill half way through December. I could have bought better quality items or products, it is sooooo annoying!!!!! angry
