How good is this deal? We've previously seen Boots boost the discount to 20% off for a limited time (for example, we saw it from Friday 15 August until Monday 18 August). Boots occasionally offers discounts of 10%-20% for all, but these tend to come with a minimum spend or brand restrictions. So, if you're after specific products, the 10% off is a good ongoing offer.

Boots up to 90% off clearance sale in stores*

Very limited stock so it's a bit of pot luck on what you can find

Last week, Boots boosted its post-Christmas clearance sale from 'up to 50% off' to 'up to 70% off' in-store (find your nearest*) – and now, as of Monday 9 February, the sale has boosted further to 'up to 90% off' – though stock is very limited.

From what we've seen it's mostly leftover gift sets from the Christmas shopping period. Of course, what's on offer will differ from store-to-store, so you might not find these at your local, but when we checked a Boots store, we found the following:

  • Lazy Oaf bath fizzer – was £4.50, now 45p

  • Hair Chalk set – was £6.50, now 65p

  • Soap & Glory Dazzling Duo – was £6.50, now 65p

  • Indulgent Hot Chocolate Lovers set – was £8, now 80p

  • Hogwarts Legacy wall hanging – was £9.50, now 95p

  • Cluedo Detective stationery set – was £12.50, now £1.25

Boots also told us the below items are available in the sale, while stock lasts (we didn't see them at the store we checked):

  • PS Paul Smith Collection No.1 nine-room mist & fragrance – was £18, now £1.80

  • Pantone wash bag set – was £22.50, now £2.50

  • Garnier 'Hydration Collection' eight-piece set – was £74, now £7.40

  • Nivea 'Luminous Skincare' set – was £84, now £8.40

MSE Olivia says: "When I went into my local Boots store on Monday 9 February, I was underwhelmed with the stock left. Almost everything was either stationery, food, or games. A lot of it was 'festive-themed' and clearly for children. I wouldn't say it's worth making a special trip, but as available stock will differ by store, if you're near a Boots then it's worth a look to see if you can pick up a clearance bargain."

What about online?

Boots is advertising 'up to 80% off' at Boots online*, though when we checked there were only three products still in stock, with a maximum discount of 60% off.

Free protection for all shopping!

There's a little-known piece of legislation that turns any credit card into a financial self-defence superhero. 'Section 75' of the Consumer Credit Act means your plastic must protect anything you buy for more than £100 for free, so if there's a problem or the company goes bust, you can still get your money back.
And although Section 75 doesn't apply to debit cards, there is something else to fall back on if you've paid using a debit card, or used a credit card for a purchase under £100. Known as Chargeback, this is part of banks' and card companies' internal rules and not a legal requirement. Read full details of Section 75 or Chargeback, plus how to claim, in our guides.
