No... the flyer specifically says 7am to 11pm on those days, not the entire two days...

fine grab one 1 and half hr before sale starts..you can shop around too it's not like you are brainlessly waiting.
that's not as bad as people camping out in the cold just to save $400

If you're buying something significant, don't forget to use the coupon they always have for purchasing >$250.

You spend 250 dollars and all they give you is a lousy chicken.

That depends on whether the groceries are considered necessities or not. So some items don't get taxed/ the GST is zero rated.
