It seems like Boxing Day is no longer what it used to be. Nevertheless, if deals come up, please post/share here.

[Mr.Money]

no.

[Armind]

Never.

[Mr.HappySilp]

Don't have anything to do so won't be actively hunting for deals.
However steam sales is on already!

[Vansterdam]

boxing day is on a Saturday this year :fuckthatshit: :fuckthatshit: :fuckthatshit:

[6o4__boi]

i'm still broke from black friday...
:fuckthatshit:

...last year
:okay:

[underscore]

I'm looking for a portable printer and a few other little things, but nothing big this year.

[MG1]

Black Friday has taken over. Boxing Day as far as shopping doesn't exist in the US, amiright?

We have embraced Black Friday since many businesses up here have started to participate.

as far as i know boxing day is just in countries that are/were part of the commonwealth. So UK, Aust, Can, maybe India and the like

Don't think it's the American influence that's causing this trend. More like retailers want to grab everyone's holiday money before they all go broke. :lol

[Lomac]

Even going through the Boxing Day prep at work, it seems like there's shit all for deals. Hell, some of the stuff that are on sale are currently cheaper right now than they will be come the 26th. :lol

Protip: If you want Apple products, buy them now. Even though they're on sale for Boxing Day, most products are actually cheaper right now than they will be at the end of this week.

[melloman]

I'll be at Bestbuy early hoping the shit I want is on sale.

Boxing Day is going downhill because of the greedy businesses.. It started with Boxing WEEK and now fucking greedy car dealers have "Boxing MONTH" :fulloffuck:

Whenever I mention Boxing Day, people laugh and say "Remember the A&B Sound days? Those were great deals on the 26th."

[Mr.Money]

i remember young kids didn't even own a car but lined up for cheap car audio at A&B sound

[Traum]

The few Big Box Boxing Day flyers that I have seen have:

1) nothing of interest
2) nothing particularly cheap

The only eye catching deal I have seen so far is actually our forum sponsor -- Sounds Good's -- pre-boxing day sale. Those $8 Pioneer 6x9 speakers are super attractive, but my car doesn't take 6x9 speakers... :banghead:

[Hondaracer]

Hoping that Sony HTST5 is on sale since I got fucked on the Black Friday deal :/

[Groot]

$369 the cheapest for ps4?

[Tapioca]

Of course Boxing Day sucks because it seems like everyone is after gadgets and electronics. Margins on electronics are pretty thin these days and for the latest stuff, like drones or 3D printers, there's Aliexpress and other Chinese e-commerce sites.

Boxing week is still a decent time to buy clothes as retailers will need to clear the winter inventory to make way for spring/summer merchandise. You can definitely score deals on things like suits and shoes if you're patient and savvy.

[Lomac]

Pretty much. Already have a couple things picked out at work and saved for Boxing Day, though. The advantage of seeing clearance prices before anyone else. Got a powerful Asus laptop and a new LG 21:9 monitor waiting for me.

:fullofwin:

Yeah, been keeping an eye out locally for a new suit. There are a couple places here that will be dropping prices rather dramatically that I'll try to take advantage of.

[flagella]

Think Z Zegna has some good sales?

[a00755836]

everytime i go shopping on a boxing day, i end up buying crap i dont necessarily need

[Amuse]

I bought Christmas presents to give to people from Black Friday sales :D
I like how Canada is adopting BF sales.
I also like how Amazon.ca is slowly getting more good stuff (things you normally see on Amazon.com) to buy.

[Lomac]

everytime i go shopping on a boxing day, i end up buying crap i dont necessarily need

Yup. I can't count how many $5 bluray movies I've purchased on Boxing Day that are still sitting in their plastic wrap. :lol And it's not like they're shitty movies, either. :okay:

[meowjinboo]

I'm buyin a gundam kit from imperial hobbies.

[MG1]

25% off, FTW!

Paints and photoetch parts.

[skiiipi]

I hope Canada just drops boxing day soon.
Black Friday is already beating boxing day sales volume wise for a lot of retailers.
Would be nice for retail workers to just "get a break" from Dec 25th and onwards.
Black Friday has already made the month of November super hectic.

[underscore]

Considering that a lot of boxing day sales now start on the 23 or 24th it's kind of useless, the sales are too late to use them to buy Christmas presents but they're too early to buy things for yourself. Just crank up Black Friday and shut everything down Dec 24-27.

[bloodmack]

ski jacket, goggles and gloves for me so I'm hoping i find all that for under 300$ lol

[skiiipi]

ski jacket, goggles and gloves for me so I'm hoping i find all that for under 300$ lol

Easily doable
Go before 10am sport Chek no tax
UA CGI Hacker jacket $169.99 + a list coupon + save the tax = $152.99
Scott Offgrid goggle $79.99 + a list coupon + save the tax = $71.99

That leaves u $75 for gloves
When all gloves are 25% off and u can stack a list coupon and no tax.

If you try a bit harder you can probably do the whole thing for under $250

[mickz]

$369 the cheapest for ps4?

Walmart will have the Uncharted bundle for $349. Most places have the bundle + 1 game for $369 so it really depends on what game(s) you're actually going to play.

What's the a list coupon skiipi? The 10% off from joining the email list?

[skiiipi]

Yup, join the email list and get the 10% transaction coupon that pretty much stacks with everything

[6o4__boi]

will that stack with TA coupons?
lol i still have a bundle left over that i should probably use before Feb

doesn't seem like theres good deals out there
i'm hoping to buy some more compression shirts/shorts but it looks like BF had the better deals

[Soundy]

Whenever I mention Boxing Day, people laugh and say "Remember the A&B Sound days? Those were great deals on the 26th."

i remember young kids didn't even own a car but lined up for cheap car audio at A&B sound

Ha! I worked car audio install at A&B, Boxing Day and SuperSale were gong shows for us, because they wouldn't pre-book anything for those days, they'd just sell people on getting installs done the same day. Lotta deck+2 slam jobs, lotta overtime :)

[skiiipi]

lol i still have a bundle left over that i should probably use before Feb

A list and TA don't usually stack
And yes overall BF is better than boxing day.

However there is usually a lot of unadvertised deals at stores.
Boxing day is a time to clear out unsold merchandise
And since the unsold merchandise varies from store to store it's hard to advertise.

[ZN6]

I remember when I was a kid, I wanted to buy a CD player that I lined up for at the A&B sound on SW Marine drive at 4:30am. Tried to pay with my interac but had insufficient funds. My mom moved my money and I was pissed.

Fuck boxing day. Never again.

[tonyzoomzoom]

Sam the Record Man, Kelly's, and A&B Sounds knew how to have boxing day sales

i've scored pretty decent deals from the green stickers before but its a crapshoot

[MG1]

Sam the Record Man, Kelly's, and A&B Sounds knew how to have boxing day sales

Yup, except none of those companies from back east that thought they could muscle their way west of the Rockies couldn't compete with A&B Sound. A&B Sound outlasted them all.

Sam the Record Man prices didn't come close to that of A&B Sound regular or sale prices........... The hoopla with Sam the Record Man lasted all of three weeks.

Something like the time Aikenheads came out here. An employee stationed in each aisle......... yeah, right. Lasted one month and then nobody was around 'cause the place died.

tonyzoomzoom........ you are no spring chicken if you remember those places, hee hee. BTW, wasn't Kelly's at one time called Kelly Dejong Records? Do you remember LG73?

[Mr.Money]

you think Napster killed the record stores back then?

[6o4__boi]

25% off amazon basics stuff if you're a prime member
it will be applied at checkout prior to order confirmation

i just stocked up on batteries lol

[murd0c]

you think Napster killed the record stores back then?

nope not at all since downloading was so new and a lot of people were not taking advantage of it that are now.

I spent hours and hours and hours everyday on Napster back in the day

Boxing Day Online Deals,Mens - Sporting Life Online Store (http://www.sportinglife.ca/sportinglife/category/BOXING_DAY_2015_ONLINE_DEALS_MENS/)


okay deals i guess?...100/200 off jackets...

[GS8]

Yup, Boxing day still has relevancy as the year is ending and all unsold merch needs to go.

Looks like that outdoor mall in Richmond will be having up to 70% off merch (saw on CityTV BT)

For me, though, I only go to Tom Lee and Long & McQuade on Boxing Day. Good place to get good deals and 0% financing for 6 months if you buy a pricey item.

Boxing Day will never be like it was before but it really doesn't need to be. Online shopping killed all that.

[punkwax]

Sheeyit LG73.. I remember staying up "late" to listen to the top 10 at 10 I think it was :lol

From Wikipedia.........
CKLG AM 1070 began in 1955 as a North Vancouver radio station operated by Lions Gate Broadcasting Ltd. In the final 30 years of CKLG AM 730 (ending on January 31, 2001) the station most often identified on-air as "LG73."



LG73 Vancouver Tribute (http://nwbroadcasters.com/lgtribute.html)

Dat Logo, man, those were the days. I have weekly top 40 lists from back in the 60's and 70's. Folded brochure type printouts with B&W pics of stuff happening around town. Every week I went to Kelly's to get the new list for the week. I have volumes of the stuff. Never missed a one. Should donate it. Vancouver history, man.

[Tr1ll]

Anyone been to the Arc'teryx Boxing week sale at their factory store in North Van? Is it a shit show?

[StylinRed]

In terms of electronics/computer parts

there doesn't seem to be any deals compared to the Black Friday -> Christmas sales that were on

one store might have a nice sale price, but before boxing day you could find it on sale elsewhere

anyhow


if anyone spots a nice deal on a wifi-ac router or a wireless mechanical keyboard let me know :D

[skyxx]

It's a shit show. Long ass lineup. No thanks.

I go crazy with my green stickers at times

For boxing day I have over 1000 units if green stickered items most are between 50 to 70% off

Hero 3 Black is okay but the white takes some pretty meh video. I had the hero 3 and 3+ both were pretty unreliable, corrupt files and very picky with the memory card you used (only worked consistently with specific models)

I got a hero 4 black last boxing day and I'm so much happier with it, I still get a corrupted file every now and then but the camera can repair it and doesn't freeze up.

Has anyone purchased an RCA tv before? Seems like a lot of good deals on those guys, but not sure how the video quality is

Starting to have some issues with GoPro's, sadly. Last fireworks display we had three set up to take video: Hero 2, Hero 3+ and Hero 4 Black. The batteries on both the 3+ and 4 Black wouldn't hold a charge, despite being plugged in for a few hours and showing a full charge. They also seem to be insanely picky with SD cards recently. The only one that's been consistently reliable lately is the 2, which sucks because the footage isn't very good on it...

The stand is very much like a tv stand and it's a very highly reviewed monitor for the price

Anyone know of any good deals on a couch? Has to be from a store on Vancouver Island.

Any thoughts on The Brick's couches listed for $499/$599 tomorrow?

It's hard to get a decent couch for that price, unless it's been gently used. If you're stuck with a budget, your best bet would be to buy an Ektorp from Ikea. Ikea can ship to the island if you order online.

I wouldn't buy from the Brick as they're pretty shady and their stuff is no better than stuff you would buy on Amazon or Aliexpress.

My go-to furniture store is Urban Barn and there's one located in Victoria. They always have sales during Boxing Week.

[True.True]

Easily doable

is the standalone atmosphere store in kits doing the no tax event as well?? and do they accept team assist coupons/ sportchek gift cards?

Both soundbars I was looking at were only slightly discounted though so may just wait and pay regular price :/

[6o4__boi]

Anyone at the Richmond outlets?
Is it worth going to today? Lol

[GLOW]

are there any ok sound bars for $100 or are they all junk? not an audio whore really just need something that can play good voice audio for movies and something that may enhance footsteps in video gaming and stream music. i read anything under $200 is basically equivalent to a TV speaker.

for the price it's good, it's very well reviewed as well.

I will probably end up buying this one if i dont get the sony or the other larger vizio during the week

[koukimonst3r]

Purchased an 8.1 samsung curved sound bar with subwoofer today for $698 + tax with 5 yr warranty at Visions, it's a pretty good deal imo. Regular price was $999, seems like it's the same sale they had for Black Friday.

[Hondaracer]

I can't bring myself to buy Samsung products. Just don't like them as a company or else I would have had a sound bar long ago lol

Curved one had great specs, tell us how it is

[Euro7r]

Bought 2 x Samsung 128GB microsd cards. That's it for me. Didn't see anything else I needed that is good deal.

My go-to furniture store is Urban Barn and there's one located in Victoria. They always have sales during Boxing Week.
Yeah, we looked all over today and everything we liked was at least $1200.

Sears has an all-leather sofa for $800 (60% off) that wasn't bad, but the fiancé hates the colour, so no dice.

I just don't want to spend a lot because we have 2 cats and one of them tends to destroy furniture. I don't really want to drop $1k+ to have it wrecked. I can live with $500.

[6o4__boi]

I bought 36 AAA batteries for $10 from amazon :lawl:

Was honestly pretty tempted to buy the $390 1tb Xbox bundle
Is xb1 that bad that they're consistently having these crazy good deals?

Still holding out for a good ps4 bundle next year
All their bundles fucking suck
Battlefront sucks, nobody wants the uncharted bundle
I mean if you're gonna fucking rebundle old ass games at least make the goddamn thing 1TB
I wanna find the fuckface who thought it was a great idea to recycle ps3 games to ps4 and punch their mom in her fucking uterus with a dremel.
Lazy, unimaginative fucks.

That's $279 and then 50% off.

I needed a new thinner jacket, and wanted to get the jacket for such a long time, and now, it's 50% off.

The colours they had in stock were similar to what I envisioned, so it is a very good deal.

All Eddie Bauer stores are 50% off the entire store.

Not sure if the sale will still be ongoing (phone in to check).

[KO7]

I went to Sport Check today and they had a "min 20% off" on almost everything but the actual discount price isn't on the tag. People lined up at the cashiers just to check the discount.

Yeah I noticed that too when I went to the Broadway one. Luckily I had checked the price of what I wanted before I went in because unluckily, it was sold out online.

Canadians line up for Boxing Day deals in biggest sales event of the year | Globalnews.ca (http://globalnews.ca/news/2421558/shoppers-line-up-for-boxing-day-savings-in-biggest-sales-event-of-the-year/)

[MG1]

Nevermind that, shitload of Americans came up today. I was at Peace Arch crossing (southbound) and it was hella busier than usual. One asian family in front of me had so much shit in the trunk and cabin that when the granny opened up the back door, shit started falling out. With the low CAD and Boxing Day Sales, it was a really good opportunity for our cousins down south to save even more.

[68style]

I went to Imperial Hobbies in Richmond for their 25% off sale, bought some things... their new store on Russ Baker Way is so much nicer and easier to navigate. They seem much happier there.

[ilvtofu]

Went to Best Buy on Marine/Ontario at around 9:30 AM, busy but easy to find parking and only lined up for about 2 mins to pay, everything went better than expected. Got the 43" 4K LG, originally looked at the 48" 4K Samsung for only $100 more but the LG definitely looked better from the sides. I was pretty tempted to line up for that $250 43" toshiba doorcrasher though.

Went to RC in the afternoon, quite the shit show. My car's trip computer average fuel economy went up quite a bit circling the parking lot lol, took about 20 mins to find a spot. Got a pair of Levis jeans from the bay but I realized I just don't have the patience to shop for clothes anymore.

I did most of my shopping on Christmas Eve/Christmas at night. Many of these stores let you return stuff you purchased online in store which is what I think I'm gonna do with some of the stuff I got

Wonder if anyone try to cut in at Holt Renfrew. I still remember last year (of the year before). A bunch of fobs (mostly Chinese, Koreans and some Japanese) try to cut in front of everyone and it was put on youtube. Police have to come in to maintain order. All just for some last season crap.

Battlefront sucks, nobody wants the uncharted bundle
I mean if you're gonna fucking rebundle old ass games at least make the goddamn thing 1TB

You mean the remastered version of one of the greatest game trilogies ever made? :facepalm:

I stand by what I said lol

I enjoyed the series. I have the damn games on PS3 and I'm pretty sure I've platinum'd at least one of them

To me remastering games that aren't even that old and has nothing wrong with it screams laziness.
Goddamn Xbox gets it. They actually bundle games that people haven't played before. I just haven't gotten that desperate enough to buy an Xbox yet.

Ps4 will bundle you recycled ps3 games...the kicker is they're throwing you a bonus of gow3. Which every living ps gamer mustve fucking played at least 20 times.

Great games yeah, but caman, gimme something new.

Buying a Note 5 in a couple weeks, this seems like a good deal so I picked it up. Normally $70 on for $40.

Uncharted came out in 2007. I have a feeling part of why the XB1 comes with different style bundled games (although there is the GoW bundle) is due to the backwards compatibility, and knowing that they haven't got jack shit for exclusives so they need to try to trick people into buying one over a PS4.

Richmond outlets were brutal, not worth the discounts and poor stores / selection.

I can't bring myself to buy Samsung products. Just don't like them as a company or else I would have had a sound bar long ago lol

Curved one had great specs, tell us how it is

Bought a 55" curved Samsung 4K UHD 240 Motion Rate 3D capable tv on Black Friday. I've finally hooked up the Samsung Curved 8.1 channel sound bar w/ 7" sub, the only cables I've hooked up are the AC power cables. Fits flush with the tv width wise. Easy to connect to the device via TV connect, Bluetooth, HDMI and USB.

I've always been hesitant when it comes to a sound bar, but this changes my perspective on them. Very good quality crisp sound and bass as well. I must say, it's one of the best things I've purchased this year that's for sure.

Why not get a note 5 now? Get your carrier to match best buy price which is $149.99 on 2 years. That's half the advertise prices of the carriers

I don't think Xbox gets it at all. They never got their pricing right from the start and they kept bundling Kinect with their systems. I'd choose a remastered game than that POS Kinect.

The Xbox One is being outsold globally by the PS4 at a 2:1 ratio and nobody outside of North America seems to care about Xbox. Japan is one of the most important video game markets and they are getting slaughtered by Sony and Nintendo.

[Mr.Money]

3:1 from what i remember,since all the exclusive DLC's are happening for the ps4 too.

Did anyone go out? I was in downtown during the morning hours and it didn't seem too busy, but maybe it picked up as the day went by.

I went to gastown and downtown, gastown was surprisingly quiet compared to prior years - except stussy. I go every year but didn't bother this year, line was probably at least an hour and a half. downtown was busy at the usual spots (pc, granville robson) but just a little busier than a normal weekend I'd say

got a pair of bose headphones for 69 from 159, oakley canopy goggles for 20% off and an underarmour base layer for the mountains at 30% off. was trying to find an arcteryx jacket too but didn't have much luck with size or selection everywhere I went

[murd0c]

The only boxing day purchase I made this year is Dyson 37 animal vacuum from Best Buy, ended up getting it for $450 when its regular $600.

[DC5-S]

wanting to buy an off contract note 5 but can't find any deals..

Uncharted came out in 2007. I have a feeling part of why the XB1 comes with different style bundled games (although there is the GoW bundle) is due to the backwards compatibility, and knowing that they haven't got jack shit for exclusives so they need to try to trick people into buying one over a PS4.

that's still pretty new to me lol
it's probably more because of the exclusives...plus xblive experience sucks massive donkey cock
can't fault them for trying tho
$390 for a 1tb console with 5 good, new games...that's a pretty good effort.

still, it'd be nice if ps4 bundled with newer games instead of flooding the market with Uncharted and TLOU bundles. Great games, that's undisputed but surely the PS4 can offer more than just remastered ps3 games.

Richmond outlets were brutal, not worth the discounts and poor stores / selection.

i only went cus i got a ride
the lineup for Nike was hilarious...i actually couldn't believe people were that stupid
i just don't understand the concept of lining up to maybe buy something

[Mr.HappySilp]

Got 2 pair of jeans 1 hoodie from the bay for around $100, 1 hoodie and 2 long sleeves from holister for around $50. A bunch of little things from amazon.ca including a Sekio watch for gf. Nothing really big.

[Dragon-88]

I gave up shopping for TV's when I had 2 and bought a 3rd to only use it as a workout monitor. Now I look forward to the smaller things in life.. #nerdout
