Boots The Chemists

While this Boots is HUGE compared to Didcot where I often go, it isn’t as nice. The place is clean and as well laid out as something dictated centrally could be but the staff are less than friendly.

I cannot see myself going here for anything but something I’m already comfortable with. It’s just not the kind of place I’ve ever gotten help from.

Always good for a peek after Christmas though for the sales :-)

Sometimes, only Boots will do and that is why it is handy to have one in the Abingdon precinct, albeit quite a small one!

They have a selection of their products here, inlcuding make-up, bath and body stuff and health products such as medicines. They also have a pharmacy which is handy, especially as Boots pharmacies tend to give the well known brands of medication rather than the cheaper generic versions. So if for example you want a proper “ventolin” inhalor rather than a generic salbutamol one then you are more likely to get it at Boots than anywhere else!

Boots also have a weighing scale which costs about 20p to use and gives you a printed out copy of your weight and BMI.

A small shop, but very well laid out and a good variety of products.
