As there are 16 full-size products in this box, you could split it up for presents as we approach the festive season. I suspect this set will be popular with MoneySavers, so if you want this it's best to go quick.

Link Boots Advantage Card with a valid Student ID

Students can get 10% off selected items at Boots* online and in-store (find your nearest*).

To get the discount you'll need to:

  1. Sign up to the free Boots Advantage Card* via the app or online.

  2. Head into a Boots store and go to the till to link your Boots Advantage Card with a valid student ID. Unidays, Student Beans or TOTUM IDs, both digital and physical, are accepted. Your ID must have a valid end date.

To continue to use the offer, you'll need to repeat step two above to reactivate your discount on 1 September each year to be able to use the discount for another year, if you're eligible (it doesn't continuously roll over).

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.

NHS prescription, selected dispensary and healthcare items, pharmacy lines and services, all Dyson branded products, all Chanel products, all Shark products, selected No7 including bundles, selected Star Gifts, Beauty Boxes, Advent calendars, charity gifts or donations, mobile phone top-up cards, gift cards, postage stamps, Boots Hearing care, bootsphoto.com, all baby and infant formula milks, selected healthcare, nursery lines, Flowflex Antigen Rapid Test Lateral Flow Self-Testing Kits and bundles, Nuna, Babystyle, Egg, Babyzen, Cybex, Mamas & Papas, Maxi-Cosi, UPPAbaby, Silver Cross, gift boxes, Icon Fitness, Activity Superstore, Lego advent calendars, third-party websites, plastic bag levy, and delivery charges for purchases made online.

Selected accounts only. Via Advantage card app for the month of your birthday

If you're a member of the Boots Advantage Card* scheme, you might get double points for your birthday month via the Boots app*. Make sure you have added your birthday details to your account and have given Boots marketing permission.

This doesn't automatically apply to every Advantage card member, instead it offers this to selected accounts as a "surprise". We're unsure what the criteria is, so don't bank on receiving this deal every year.

You'll need to add the promotion manually to your Advantage Card via the app before swiping it in store, or you won't get your double birthday points.

Boots discounts on fragrance, beauty, electricals & more*

Eg, £49 YSL Black Opium perfume (next cheapest £70). Other deals likely still to come

As predicted, Boots* kicked off its Black Friday sale early, on Wednesday 29 October, with 3,200+ discounted products, and when we checked on Black Friday, it had increased to 4,600+.

Boots seems to be competitively priced for fragrance, but is often price matched or beaten by other retailers.

Some deals we found on Friday 28 November include:

Cheapest at Boots:

Price-matched elsewhere:

Cheaper elsewhere:

Important: Don't allow yourself to be taken in by the hype around Black Friday and be sucked into buying something you don’t need or can’t afford. Always do your own price comparisons to ensure you are getting the best deal possible – don’t just take a retailer’s word for it.

Boots Black Friday prediction*

Discounts on fragrance, beauty, electricals & more

🗓️ Predicted from Wednesday 29 October till Monday 1 December

Boots led the charge last year, launching its Black Friday sale in October, so we're expecting an early start this year too. Around 3,600 items were initially discounted, then Boots added 1,000+ more lines on Black Friday itself, so it'll likely do the same again. There's no blanket discount, rather different offers on specific departments such as 'save up to 60% off electrical beauty', 'up to 25% off fragrance', and 'up to 30% off premium beauty'. Most of the branded items we checked were the same price or cheaper elsewhere.

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.
