If you click a link with an * to go through to a provider, we may get paid. This usually only happens if you get a product from it. This is what funds our team of journalists, and keeps us free to use. Yet there are two crucial things you need to know about this.
- This never impacts our editorial recommendations – if it's in, it's in there because we independently rate it best.
- You'll always get as good a deal (or better) than if you went direct.

There are always ways to save money at Boots*, so even if there isn’t a cracking deal out there that works for you, don’t assume you can’t cut your costs.
Ways to save include:
- Exclusive offers for Advantage Card customers. If you sign up to the Boots Advantage Card* it will allow you access to personalised coupons and discounts via the Boots app* (available on iOS and Android), as well as let you know about promotional offers such as regular triple points events and competitions.
- Coupons, cashback and freebies. Look out for coupons/freebies with products, such as around the neck of liquid soap bottles, or online for coupons and cashback to save on your shopping (see our regularly updated coupons list). Make sure you look out for coupons in store inside the free Health & Beauty magazine, or freebies attached to the magazine cover as well as coupons on receipts, such as £5 off No 7.
- Check out similar retailers, eg, Superdrug. If you’re not committed to buying from Boots, check out our deals from Superdrug where they may have a better offer.
- Had a problem with Boots? There’s a free online tool you can use to complain – it helps draft, manage and if necessary escalate your complaint. It’s offered by a firm called Resolver, which we like so much we work with it to help people get complaints justice – you can use it to complain to Boots*.
If you spot any hot deals out there we have missed (we are human after all!), please let us know in the MSE forum, email us, or via Twitter @MSE_Deals.

£112 of men's skincare for £38 at Boots
Nine-item set including Liz Earle, No7 and Kiehls

It contains nine items including moisturiser, cleanser, toner and serum from brands such as Liz Earle, No7, Kiehls and more – see below for the full list.

Boots 'up to 80% off' clearance sale – is it any good?
From what we've seen there's limited stock
ExpiredBoots has launched its up to 80% off 'Spring Clearance' in stores (find your nearest*) and online*, though from what we've seen, stock is limited.
We visited five Boots stores in London, which only had a few lines discounted, so we weren't impressed with what was on offer. However, Boots has assured us there's decent stock in many of its larger stores, so if you're nearby a Boots, it may be worth popping in.
Below are a few of the clearance items we spotted at our local Boots stores on Monday 15 April. Of course, what's on offer will differ from store-to-store, so you might not find these at your local.
- Aroma Active Laboratories SOS forehead balm, 5g – originally £8, now £2
- Essentials iPhone 13 case – originally £4.99, now £2.50
- Aroma Active Laboratories muscle recovery soak, 250ml – originally £15, now £3.50
- Aroma Active Laboratories sleep salt soak, 500g – originally £15, now £3.50
- Bondi Sands Pure self tan foaming water dark, 200ml – originally £15.99, now £4
- Bondi Sands Pure self tanning sleep mask, 75ml – originally £14.99, now £7.50
See 'More info' below for photos of what we spotted in-store.
The clearance sale is also online*, however when we checked on Tuesday 16 April, there were only about 40 items included. We also spotted that some clearance products were cheaper in-store than online, so if you see something you like online, it could be worth using the 'check store availability' function to see if you can get it cheaper in person, though of course, as it's a clearance sale you risk it selling out quickly.
Delivery's £3.95 for orders under £25, and £1.50 for click & collect orders under £15 – otherwise it's free over those amounts.
What does 'up to 80% off' mean?
Min discount we spotted in-store: 50%
Max discount we spotted in-store: 80%
Average discount based on 10 random items: 69%What is the discount based on: The Advertising Standards Agency has previously stated that at least 10% of items should be available at the 'up to' price.

Use the Money Mantras
Before spending, use Martin’s Mantras. If you answer 'NO' to any, then don't buy!
Then ask:
- Do I need it?
- Can I afford it?
- Have you checked prices elsewhere?
Then ask:
- Will I use it?
- Is it worth it?
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.
What the * means above
If a link has an * by it, that means it is an affiliated link and therefore it helps MoneySavingExpert stay free to use, as it is tracked to us. If you go through it, it can sometimes result in a payment or benefit to the site. It's worth noting this means the third party used may be named on any credit agreements.
You shouldn’t notice any difference and the link will never negatively impact the product. Plus the editorial line (the things we write) is NEVER impacted by these links. We aim to look at all available products. If it isn't possible to get an affiliate link for the top deal, it is still included in exactly the same way, just with a non-paying link.
