I went to Canadian Tire today with my daughter to buy new Christmas decorations and London Drugs to buy a Google Home Voice Activated Speaker Assistant..
It was so busy and I didn't get the exact decorations I hoped to either..
Is anyone else taking advantage of Boxing week sales?
Nope. Not going to fight those crowds. Not worth it.

I agree. There's nothing I need that badly. It's not worth it.
Not remotely.
I tend to avoid a consumer feeding frenzy.

Are Boxing week sales common in Australia?
Yes...although their appeal is waning. Searching for a car park, fighting the crowds, standing in queues just to save 5 bux isn't what its cracked up to be.

Hell no. I hate shopping to begin with. I aint driving into Saskatoon to do something I hate on my last day off until the end of March.
Quote from: "Bricktop"
You got that right.
I did a little looking online, but I never left the house today.
Hell no, is my answer. I do not fall in long lines and am allergic to crowds.
Quote from: "Azhya Aryola"
lol, I like that answer Azhya.
:laugh:
My philosophy is if I have to queue for it, I don't want it.
Quote from: "Bricktop"
I like the self check out at grocery stores for that reason.
Preeeeeeee-cisely.
"Get out of my way!!!!!"
Canada beat Finland 4-2 at the world juniors today. I would rather watch that on my last day off until the end of March than crowds in frickin stores.

It's one of those things we don't need, but I bought it anyway.
They're not allowed in our house.

Good for them..
And since pro hockey players aren't allowed to participate in this winter olympics, the same players will be going to South Korea when it's over.

I suppose they don't respond to voice distortion.

Wouldn't know, Bricktop.
Or loose dentures for that matter.
Wait...are you claiming you DON'T use a vocoder???
I just bought a load of salt for my aquarium, was kinda surprise there were no line up at the cashier today so I quickly paid and left.

We went out and bought a new dinette set. We went to a Tommy Hilfiger store. I bought three new shirts. My wife bought a pair of jeans at a Guess store.
With the crowds and traffic, it was a tiring day.
We dont have boxing day sales around here. I never even heard of it til I stumbled onto the Canadian forums.

Some really deep discounting.

Aint like it use to be. Also they limit the "door busters", as in limited stock on advertised big deals. Aint worth it. Ya got fuckers who swoop in and snag 'em, only to put 'em up on Ebay at a higher cost. The only thing I like to go for is the movies lol.

When I get seasons discount greetings in email, I wait 1-3 weeks. Fuck em. Their discount price and free shipping pledge is crap. I want to see the real price.

I like Bad Santa and the SNL Christmas skits.
I have very little free time. I don't want to waste it to save a few bucks.
