Why do they call themselves 'Boots'?

Superdrug tends to be cheaper but Boots sells more brands.

I prefer Boots for the whole advantage card points thing but if I'm feeling like a cheapskate I go to Superdrug. Aussie shampoo is always on offer :wink:

For basics I skip them both and go to the cheap-o shop.

Boots always. I have an advantage card, and by making sure I buy everything in boots, shampoo, shower gel, toothpaste, hair dye etc I have almost £50 worth of points!

Boots' sandwiches are amazing. And I do have an advantage card. But sometimes Superdrug has some really good offers on.

You can get pain killers at Superdrug too!

I don't work there or anything... I'm not completely biased at all... :colone:

Superdrug because it is in general much cheaper - I find Boots to be expensive.

Ohhh, you mean a brand in particular! Fair enough. You can get Galpharm paracetamol caplets at 16p per pack though, and to me, paracetamol is paracetamol.

Good question. I cant decide. I have a loyalty card for both but Superdrug one is more useful as it can be used as a mirror (i have done multiple times on the tube, very handy)

I'm not really sure why, but I go to Boots more than Superdrug. Where I live they're next door to each other, so it's not like one's nearer than another. I probably go to Boots 'cos I have an advantage card, but I don't have a superdrug card for some reason - really should get one!

If I'm after something that they both sell and I have the time, I'll nip from one to the other to get the cheapest! :tongue:

Boots has more variety of make-up and it's mainly what I go there for.

It depends on what you're after!

I normally go to Boots :smile:

It is 2 minutes from my house.
I rarely go to superdrug. Only around Xmas time for the cheap deals for gifts. :smile:

Boots, as I have staff discount B)

BOOTS derr

Cant get my shampoo in superdrug, its the only one that doesnt irritate my skin.
Therefore i go to boots and have an advantage card as the shampoo is about 4 quid for a small bottle 0.0

Boots! My local Superdrug is always a mess for some reason, it's like the staff just throw things on the shelves and make them impossible to find =(

Boots No.17 Lipstick is the best thing ever, as soon as I get enough points on my card then I buy myself one haha :smile:

Also Aussie is always on offer there, the deep conditioner is the best thing ever :smile:

Apparently its not such a savvy thing, as Boots gives you 4% off by using points, and it good, but if you buy something at 50%off at Tesco, it works out more expensive in Boots. At least thats what moneysavingexpert site says :p:

I tend to buy things I can only get at Boots when I go there, such as 17(when they have a free gift), No7(when they have a voucher), Soap and Glory, pharmacy stuff. But its best to use points booster vouchers anyway :p:
