Boots deals

See our Black Friday 2019 guide for full analysis on the latest Black Friday deals. Check Deals & Vouchers for other offers on now or follow us on Twitter @MSE_Deals. 

Boots* is offering up to 50% off on fragrance, make-up and electricals in its early Black Friday sale. 

From what we saw last year, deals mostly stayed at the same price throughout the week and weren't discounted further on Black Friday itself. 

It's worth noting that some items Boots offered were the same price or cheaper elsewhere, so make sure you do your own price comparisons before buying. 

Examples of deals we've spotted at 5.03pm on Fri 22 Nov: 

• Real Techniques prep and prime set* - £9.99 (was £19.99). Next cheapest we found £19.99 at Lookfantastic.
• Paco Rabanne Lady Million For Women EDP, 50ml* - £37.50 (was £64). Next cheapest we found £44.50 at Superdrug.
  
• Paco Rabanne 1 Million For Men EDP, 100ml* - £39.90 (was £66.50). Next cheapest we found £58 at Superdrug.
   

Not so good deals

• Dyson AM09 hot + cool fan heater* - £299.99 (was £399.99) found CHEAPER at John Lewis*, £299
   

Important: Don't allow yourself to get caught up in the Black Friday hype, and only ever buy what you need and can afford. Always do your own price comparisons to ensure you’ve found the best deal – don't just take a retailer's word for it.

MoneySavers wait all year for this and get in a real lather about it… From Fri 6 Dec, if you go online to Boots* or visit one of its stores (find your nearest*), you can get a Soap & Glory 'Sweet Tin-tations' body care set for £30 until 11.59pm on Fri 27 Dec, while stocks last.

This gift set, which includes body butter, a face mask and mascara, is normally £60, but if the products were bought individually they would cost about £70. Delivery's £3.50 if you order online, or you can collect in a store for free.

Boots wasn't able to give us an indication of stock levels, so go quick if you want to clean up with this one. This is part of a Boots Christmas promo called 'The Big Deal' (formerly 'Star Gift'), which has always been popular with MoneySavers. Each week it releases an offer on a different gift product in the lead up to Christmas.

Our Christmas Deals Predictor forecast it would be out this week, and our perfectly polished prediction was correct. See our latest predictions for which other big deals are on their way. 

From Wed 20 Nov, if you go online to Boots, or shop in store (find your nearest*), you can get a No7 gift set with £87-worth of beauty products inside for £25.

The £25 'The Beauty Wardrobe' gift set* (currently £50, half-price from Wed) contains eight full-size and mini  beauty products, including mascara, eyeshadow and shimmer palette - full contents below. At normal full price, these would cost £87 if you were to buy the included products separately – based on the proportionate cost of the full-sized equivalents - so getting it all for £25 is a cracking deal.
