boxing day shopping anyone?

[cali]

yes I am in prince george right now lol I went boxing day shopping with my cousin stood in line for Exreme for like an hour(before the mall opened) and spent an hour in the store, it a place I call way to expensive lol something I would price at maybe $5 cost $20, needless to say I bought nothing there lol but I did buy a new outfite from bluenotes, nice jeans, and a top for $38 total :D then we went to wal-mart and I got the new simple plan CD and some rabbit treats for kari. so any other canadians go boxing day shopping? I am pretty sure the US does not have a stat holiday for shopping....:p

I think it was about $441 ($358 USD) for the Guitar, amp, tuner and some other stuff.

No way!! Couldn't pay me enough to go shopping on Boxing Day. Even my Christmas shopping was done before December 1. Hate crowds!!

I did however, have every trail for miles all to myself today. It was about -25C here. I think everyone else went to town to shop in the warm stores! The dogs and I hope they had fun spending their money cuz we had a great sled run!:D

Hey we have boxing day shopping in NZ too,I think Britain does, but I never knew Canada did, I only went to one store and it was chaos, I think I am getting too old and impatient for the cues these days, lol, but we have some great sales on for days, so I might venture out when it is a little quieter, I did manage to get some xmas lights for the verandah, some nice sparkly flashing ones, for half price, so that was good.

Apparently the sales were really high, so the retailers will be happy, a lot of people don't do the xmas shop and wait for the sales on Boxing day, or go spend their vouchers given to them as presents.

My dad went to pick up some stuff and stood in line for 2 hours and my I spoke to my friend who worked today. They both said it was just crazy. I prefer to stay at home. ;)

My brother lined up at A&B Sound at 5:45am this morning. He was about 20th in line. He got what he wanted though so I guess it's all good.

I went with my mom, grandma and sister to a mall to pick out half price ornaments from the Hallmark store (it's a tradition that my grandma always gets us kids an ornament every Christmas). We got to the mall at about 9:00am. It suprisingly wasn't very busy (and this is coming from someone who hates crowds and shopping....) LOL

i only bought a mini skirt from Pac Sun for $10!:Dthe skirt was $30 before it went a sale what a deal!!

[manda_moo87]

Yup! I got myself a new digital camera and a webcam! :)

[Maya & Inka's mommy]

Ahum...:o , what is "boxing day"?? Is everyone in the mood for boxing then ;) :D ??

[NoahsMommy]

We don't call it "Boxing Day Shopping" we call it "Day After Christmas Shopping" here. :)

My friend and I left at 9:30 a.m. and returned home around 4:30 p.m. from all the shopping we did. We hit Target first, because our mall didn't open till 11:00 because it was Sunday. We then went to Pier1, Cost Plus World Market, Hallmark, PetSmart and then the mall. We got a ton of stuff...we had to go home before the mall because we filled the car up! :eek: There was some talk about professional shoppers. ;)

Needless to say, I slept really well last night!

lol I swear my cousin is a proffesonal shopper, it was like "this is this much, and this much off, plus tax is this much, now this plus tax, and 30% off is this, the 2 together cost this much, so you have this much left over" I was like :eek: and she says she is not good at math lol and when we were looking for my outfite it was like "ok you are slightly bigger then me, and I am this size therefore you are this size, and you will want this or this style, so try on these, these, these and these, now go try them on and make sure to show me" the girl is 14, I was in shock, and I swear, next time I go shopping I am taking her with me! I dont care if she does live 2 provences away lol

Boxing Day is an old British holiday, originally it was a day when boxes of food and other things were given out to the poor. Now though it's the day when all stores put the stock they have on sale. In Canada at least most of the stores keep the sales going till new year's day...which is why I no longer go shopping on boxing day.

It seems as though most countries in the British commonwealth celebrate it as well.

[ScantyNebula]

Not yet!! Hope to get out soon though, a few things to pick up. I know the Future Shop had some awesome sales ... a cd burner for 4.99! How crazy is that.

Nice guitar, my bf has the same one, except its the Wayne's World edition! ;)

At the risk of sounding stupid, but what is "boxing day"

[cali]

boxing day is a stat holiday that canada and a few other countrys have, where on dec. 26th all the stores reduce the prices of everything, some places will have the sales last all week, but most, around here anyway, are one day only, so the malls are always packed, exept in Regina lol and that is just because we have at least 5 large malls, while here in prince george there is only 1 mall, so it was packed lol so I call it the only stat holiday for shopping :D

[carole]

Yes it appears countries of the commonwealth celebrate Boxing Day, now I understand why Canada does and USA does not.

Here in NZ it is a big day for sport as well, (no not boxing) funny enough, but the horse races,etc etc.

Thanks Crikit for the info on Boxing Day, I assumed it was a British tradition, but did not know how it started, you learn something new everyday.

Enjoy your Boxing day shopping everyone.:)

I just did :D Got a load of new clothes for only 160, and got 100 DVD-R's for only 40 bucks at Futureshop! That was a real steal ... considering they cost around 190 dollars before the sale :D Time to test out my DVD burner! :p
