Superdrug tends to be cheaper but I prefer boot's staff as they are far more polite.

Agreed!!!!!
Boots also seems a nicer place to be - everytime i go to Superdrugs it seems so off-putting the stuff always seems to be slapped on the shelves and thats it. It's also easier to shop in boots!! :biggrin:

Superdrug, it's way cheaper, I like their own-brand stuff a lot and I have a 30% off card for there so it's even cheaper.

That said, I do like boots' meal deal when I'm hungry.
Superdrug. Boots are overpriced.
I was about to say that Superdrug is the clothing quivalent of fake burberry, as opposed to the authentic, the Boots.

However, I then realized that I often frequent Superdrug as an alternate to Boots. I do tend towards Boots, especially for my vitamins, but i'm always happy to see what Superdrug has on offer; i also find they have a particularly extensive range of men's shaving products, which gets my vote.

So, both, really.

Also, for some reason when ever I'm in superdrug I always have no cash on me to get the bus afterwards and Superdrug don't do cash back which really annoys me. Not sure if Boots do cash back but thats not the point!

I work for Boots so my view is slightly biased, but I must admit that before I started there I preferred it anyway. Superdrug looks so untidy and, not sure if this is the same everywhere, it always looks like its all crammed in to a tiny space - at Boots there's generally a lot of room and its nice and clean and tidy. Plus the staff there are awesome - the amount of customer service training and stuff we go through is immense.
Boots, I like superdrug too though and they both do different ranges of makeup but it just seems easier to find things in boots-like the shop is set out better.

Boots all the way :smile:

I collected £20 of advantage points over the last year, so it ends up being a lot cheaper. And they also always seem to have deals and offers on, especially on makeup

Boots. The two stores are opposite each other, Superdrug has a kind of dingy feel to it compared to boots.

Advantage card ftw!

The service is generally better. I like all the offers they have and that they have make up counters like department stores do.
I like the boots points! Have about £20 on my card at the moment. Yay.
Boots because Superdrug employ the braindead. And because Superdrug have the most ridiculous student discount rules (only 6th form students need apply!!!).

Superdrug is cheaper but Boots is just a much nicer place to shop. Their staff are usually much more helpful too.

Boots - Superdrug don't have an advantage card.

Boots. Great Meal Deals :biggrin:
Superdrug, because I used to have a Saturday job at Boots and it was absolutely terrible. Far worse than anywhere I'd worked before or since.
