Boxing day.... what did you get



Got a 50" Panasonic Plasma from Futureshop. Surprised how slow it was. Best Buy was a crap shoot though. $799.99






What did you pick up today?

Nothing. Boxing Day is the one thing that isn't big in Texas.

I guess you guys call it something else. The term originated in England. Boxing day is the day after christmas.

I guess we just call it the day after christmas around here. There are a bunch of after christmas sales but thats it. Most just christmas decorations and crap 50% off and some electronics on sale.

What you're really supposed to do on Boxing Day is box up all of your leftover Christmas food and a gift and give it to somebody who is in need.

I replaced my old GPS with a new Tomtom, $100, FutureShop.

The lady got a 10.0 megapixel Olympus DigiCam for $50.

Again I'm impressed with FutureShop, In and out in 10 minutes. No waiting to get in or out.

you should have seen it today. At least 40 people lined up at the tills.

BTW, F.S. and Bestbuy are the same store...

Yeah it is funny because there is a BB and FS next to each other in a mall near my place.For some reason people bought in to the brainwashing that BB was cheaper because of no sales commission sales assosiates.

I dont know about you guys find but I still find FS better to buy from.



Holy crap I didnt know there was no boxing day in the US. You guys really kicked any English infulence out of your country hey?

Arrbilly is right that it is like Black Friday for us. We have black friday but the deals usually suck.
