I work at home outfitters, so if anyone needs some kitchen electrics like a blender or something. Tomorrow morning from 8am-11am. We have 20% off everything if you use your hbc mastercard. And if you get a flyer on the 23rd, you can have 25% off one item in the store. And as for boxing day the only deal that really stands out to me is a kitchenaid stand mixer for 199.99. Only available in chrome. These are normally 349.99.
Also if anyone wants, this is just for employees, They are giving me a coupon for one of these upcomming days, its $150 a dyson vaccum plus my employee 10% off, but its one per employee, im 18 and won't be needing a dyson since my mom already has one. If anyone needs one pm me. No point letting a great deal go to waste.
Sorry, I just called my manager and was mistaken. The dyson deal is also for upright and canister vaccuums, and i found out the cheapest one is around 499.99, and tomorrow is 20% off from 8am-11pm. So i did the math, you can walk out with a dyson for $313.59. Which is originally 499.99. This isnt available for customers so please don't go in saying you heard of this deal.

Plus the receiver syncs with my PS3... although I have no clue what it will allow me to do.  | |

Convenience is good, but if you're willing to spend a bit more (or are patient enough to find clearance deals), getting proper speakers and a receiver is the way to go. If anyone out there wants something inconspicuous (i.e. Bose but with way better sound) Best Buy has a 5.1 Boston Acoustics micro-speaker set for $399 this week. I listened to them earlier this year at another specialty retailer and they're actually pretty good for such small speakers. Quote: |

| Richmond Midnight Madness specials: http://www.ikea.com/ca/en/store/richmond/offers
Coquitlam Midnight Madness specials: http://www.ikea.com/ca/en/store/coquitlam/offers
If I didn't have plans tonight, I'd head out to one of the stores have grab a 99 cent meatball dinner. Yes, 99 cents for 10 meatballs and mash. Ikea does not have specials on Boxing Day.
Zellers also has a midnight madness thing going on. They have a Sony 40" 1080P LCD for 500 bucks. Sale sarts at 6 PM.

I can't wait. I am probably going to the hobby stores, LOL. 20% to 25% off is good.
I was so pumped up about the last sale Imperial Hobbies had, but in the three months I've been shopping around, I have come to realize that the mark up at Imperial Hobbies is so high that 30% off would still make their stuff more expensive than at other shops. Example: a Tamiya 1/350 IJN Mogami is selling for $250.00 at Imperial Hobbies. The same model sells for $150.00 at two other hobby shops. WTH? One of the other shops is having a 20% off Boxing Day sale. Guess where I'm going? Not going to Imperial, unless they have like a 50% off sale. Sheesh.
Last Year's NCIX boxing day sale was pretty lame, IIRC. Hopefully this year will be better. | oh yes. I forgot theres a hobby store @ barnet highway @ poco i believe.. its near the west coast express station.. and the cop station...
edit// here you go. http://maps.google.ca/maps?q=port+mo...333.21,,1,5.82
on-track hobbies. went there once.. they have quite a bit of stuff.

I spoke too soon re: flyers.
Someone has posted Future Shop Boxing Day flyer scans on SmartCanucks.ca http://forum.smartcanucks.ca/171945-...-flyer-canada/
The flyer is from Atlantic Canada, but the prices should be the same here.

I want the convenience of being able to add the S-AIR option for wireless rear speakers. The Sync feature is a nice bonus.
Plus buying speakers and amp separately is typically twice as much as these in-a-box sets, even when on sale since the box sets go on sale too | |

the hobby shop at union square has some stuff here and there.. mostly mecha/ anime stuff.. lots of old kits. unless you're into old gundam/ macross stuff, i wouldnt really make a trip just to look at their stuff.

I was waiting for cyber monday deals and that was uber waste of time. lol 9 items and sale went on 4 or so hours late.
