She's offered the following tips for getting the best out of the mega-sale:
If you're planning on shopping instore rather than online, it's important to plan ahead. Checking the opening times and getting down early is key, as it's likely to be very busy and packed with fellow bargain-hunters.
Knowing exactly what you want is also really important. Having a clear idea of the products you want to pick up will save you time when looking down the aisles which will also help you cut down on unnecessary overspending.
Work out exactly how much you'll be saving if you know what you want to buy beforehand. This will eliminate any nasty surprises when you get to the checkout.
If you haven't got one already, a Boots Advantage Card offers four points for every £1 spent. You can spend the year racking up the points and use them for purchasing any Christmas gifts.
If you want to bargain hunt online, a helpful tip is to fill up your basket with the products you want the night before - then, on the morning of the sale, the promotions should all be applied and you can check out with all your bargains.
The sale promises to see this Fila Livin’ Life set down from £50 to just £15, which saves £35, whist this Joules Cosy Night In kit was £35, and will be down to £10.50. The gift contains a bath soak, body souffle, pillow mist, eye mask and a pair of slippers - which is a serious bargain.
Other brands that are set to have their prices slashed are Bondi Sands, Soap & Glory, No7, Gilette and many more. You can find all of the products expected to be in the Boots 70 per cent off sale here.
