Each time Ive been to this Boots the staff there have been very friendly and helpful…read more It is a small Boots, so its lacking lots of brands (and also the advantage card kiosk), but if you want the run of the mill items then its not a problem. I suggest you travel further afield for the more hard to find items.. for these I use Boots in Leicester centre. However Im pretty sure you can order items online and pick them up in store. I have taken off one star because when I have ordered online, it states you need to update your points card with the A/C kiosk, something I can't do without having to travel quite far to the bigger stores.

A generic Superdrug perched on the corner, there's nothing really spectacular about this branch -…read morebut it does its job well. They stock all of the basics as well as having a whole aisle devoted to haircare - covering brands from Wash and Go, Aussie, Tresemme and Head and Shoulders to James Brown and Sami. Their vitamin section is comprehensive, men are well catered for and the makeup is relatively good - no bigger Superdrug brands like MeMeMe, but they have GOSH, Miss Sporty and New York Colour as well as Maybelline, Loreal, Rimmel and the like. There are a few perfumes behind the counter, but most lack testers and the selection is more commercial - you can get the cheaper and more widely advertised Diesel, J-Lo, DKNY and Paco Rabanne scents, but not Marc Jacobs, Dior or Nina Ricci. There's also a small sweets and dieting foods section, with a chiller; they stock Powerade and Skinny Water amongst others. I find that I use Superdrug more for makeup and more niche products I can't get in Boots, especially as products are more expensive and their loyalty card doesn't offer nearly as good rewards as the Advantage card. It is, however, a nice place to shop and I'd probably go in more often if I got more points for my purchases.

I often forget about superdrugs as I am quite a fan of boots, however I must visit here more often…read moreas they have some fab bargains and are 9 times out of 10 cheaper than boots. Situated at the bottom of market street they are easy to miss, but once inside you will be glad you didn't! they have fantastic range of health and beauty products. They also stock baby toiletries and home goods like washing up liquid and kitchen towel. They sell chocolate, crisps and drinks. The aisles are wide and well laid out. They have 3 tills and sell stamps and mobile top ups from here. Behind these tills are an extensive perfume range that is very competitive. I have been known to come out here laden with shopping bags and you must regularly check for their weekly offers.

Boots in Swadlincote is a small branch of the chemist located on the pedestrian High Street in…read moreSwadlincote. It is a useful local branch selling all the usual medicinal remedies, perfume, seasonal gifts, glucose monitors and baby products. It also has a very busy pharmacy that serves a lot of the local community. The staff are helpful and informative, but pre-ordering a prescription seems at some points to be a lottery, as to whether it will be ready or not, which kind of defeats the purpose.

Well spaced out and stock was clear and organized. My girlfriends after a wig so ive seen a few of these places and im starting to wonder how they could do things differently.
