This was the very first Boxing Day I experience for me ... I had no intention to buy anything, but my buddy needed some computer advise.
I got up at 930am and went to TigerDirect and nothing interesting at all. We booted to Canada Computers and it was pretty damn busy. They had this deal for 3.5 Western Digital IDE - HD 300 GB w/ External Casing for $99.99. Not bad at all, but once you open up the casing it turns out to be a Samsung HD. So I grabbed one and the line was pretty massive to cash out. Then we headed to Future Shop and that’s went I saw the true behavior of Boxing Day. My God ppl were crazy, Chaos in the parking lot, pretty annoying to get in and park the car. Once we got in it was pretty ed up. it was a angry mosh-pit in the Digital Camera dept. Ppl were raping the SD Cards … they had this nice sale going on, 1GB Sandisk – 19.99, 2GB Kingston – 29.99 and 2gb Sandisk – 34.99. There was some other stuff on sale, but not too great of a selection. Then we went to the infamous Walmart and it was massively ed up. Got a spindle of Memorex DVD 16x for 17.99 and had to get of out there. The lines were crazy for cashing out and ppl who don’t know how to use express / self served, shouldn’t use it on this day. Three ppl caused so much drama in my line and I started to dissing them and rushing them. I know that’s was pretty rude of me, but today was not a day for tutorial day.
What did you guys get and how was your experience today? |

Those deals at Future Shop were online as well.
I didn't purchase anything today but anything I wanted to purchase I would have done online. They were still charging the same prices and would deliver them to you when back in stock. :) |

Thats granny boxing day shopping..just kidding
Ive never been a fan of bestbuy, but this yr, they had much better deals than Futureshop!
Got to bestbuy at 5AM, and the lineup already had over 100 pple and by the time we got in, it tripled lol. in rain/slush coming down sucked.
Bestbuy ladies were kind enough to give out umbrellas, just had to tell a joke.....she didnt seem to like mine tho! lol (how do you call a lesbian with fat fingers...well hung hihihhi)
anyhow, shopping wise....spent quite a bit. Got a nice new 50" toshiba w/ sound setup and stand. Will be great to watch UFC on saturday.
bought a 1GB usb stick and a spindle of 100DVD's at futureshop on round 2!
And online bought a Brother 5150D printer, needed a duplex one.
God bless Boxing day, anyone willing to foot my cred card bill ? :D |

I ended up waking up early to shop at a mall close to my place...
It was pretty comfortable shopping at around 8 a.m., though the amount of people did increase exponentially between 10 to noon. So inevitably it did get crazy with the long line-ups to get into stores and to pay for stuff.
I ended up getting a couple of pretty tops, dress jackets and shoes. I didn't spend as much as last year (which is good I guess...haha).
I left the mall at around 4ish and was pretty exhausted but happy with the purchases. |

Woooow you guys are are nerds.
Me and Engine9 woke up at 2pm, went shopping around 3pm. Went to Canada computers and scored a Logitech joystick for $5, a Logitech driving wheel for $10, a 320-CD wallet for $7, and a Samsung external DVD burner for $70. Then off to CompuSmart, but there was all there. Then we blazed, and walked to FutureShop. It was madness in there, and he walked away with 1.5 gigs of RAM for $100 or something. Then we went to EB Games tog et some games for our new peripherals, but there was suuuch a long line there that we said " it" went into The source, impulse-bought a radio controlled plane for $40, and that was it. That's how you do boxing day - we got everything we wanted, with no gay lining up and no stress. Booya.
Also, we went to the Best Buy parking lot around 12am, and there were already people lined up there. So we blazed in front of them, laughed at them for a bit, then bounced. |
