The "What did you buy on Boxing Day" Thread

[Gooseberry]

So while i woke up to get to Best Buy / FutureShop @ 6:30 AM, seems there were tons more that got there before me.

Got Rainbow Six Vegas for $40, and some older 360 games that were $20.

Age of Empires III + Expans for $40 with BF2142 for $30.

While i was waiting in line at Best Buy, i saw this one guy with like 10 copies of World of Warcraft. :dunno:

Then @ Future Shop the guy in front of me figures he wants to pay for his items seperately. After that another went to the wrong line so they put him in front of me, and he takes 20 minutes to pay for his stuff. Did i mention they take, literally, a few minutes to print out the receipt? :guns:

So share you Boxing Day Purchases and experiences. :)

[Vagabond142]

I bought a Jones cream soda from 7-11 if that counts? :D

[cityhunter2501]

-a Linksys WRT54G at Futureshop for 79.99 w/ 20$ MIR :thumbsdow
- a 512MB Memory stick for 13.99, never know when I'll need it

should have bought the router at BB where my sisters BF bought his for 59.99 already but w/e saved alot of money in dvds

[Crymson]

I hit FS and got that infiti kappa 10.1 sub and then ran over the BB and got NHL 2k7 and COD-3 , i'm regretting getting COD 3, i should have to Rainbow 6.

Saw LittleDrunkenSmurf in line getting and Xbox 360, and GOW so if he reads this, we'll get online this week and do some co op.

[heinz256]

You guys think rainbow 6 is soldout by now? lol

[iceburns288]

RB6V is amazing, that's all I gotta say. Everyone should be out buying it.

[schocker]

I just got some clothes, but am going to head out to some more stores to possibly pick up some games or dvds along with some more clothes.

[jf97talon]

How busy are the malls guys?
Im at work, leaving at 3. Picking up the g/f then heading to market and chinook
im scared.

[5hift]

I drove by chinook when leaving Future shop and let me tell you ... you have every reason to be scared. No amount of savings could make me deal with the traffic there right now.

[Loud-N-Clear]

2 alpine amps at visions for more than 50% off and a bassworx capacitor at regular price... and I had to wait in line for 3 hours.

Oh they are quite busy. The good stores have mega lineups also, but it is somewhat worth it i guess.

im scared. [/B]

Be scared. Be very scared. The shoppers are rabid today.

I had a lady push me (push, not shove, nudge, or bump. The bitch pushed) to get in front of me in line.

Purchased:

4 gig flash drive
2 X 1 gig SD cards
1 gig flash drive
8 cans of peach halves

Mexx has EVERYTHING at 50% off BTW.

Was he paying by credit card? Imagine how many transactions are going on right now with Visa. Thats why it is so slow, everyone is buying stuff.

I went to FS at 7:30 and bought my 360. Pretty sweet stuff. Going out to find a Nixon watch a little later.

[2.2vtec]

Does anyone know if banana republic has a good sale? What about browns?

I remember browns was up to 70% off, not off the stuff i was looking at though.
BR had some decent deals I believe, most of the stuff was on sale. Cant say if it was that great or not as I havnt been there in awhile.

[Sprinter]

Man... I wanted to get one of those black jackets from Banana last week but they sold out, I don't think Banana has huge sales though (not sure)... I miss Calgary already, I wanna enjoy Boxing Day :cry: :cry:

[SinisterProbeGt]

Argh I havent left yet, Now all the good Sh*t is gone :cry:

[Jackc]

Good score, those were a VERY good deal.

I got a cheap upconverting DVD player that matches my TV, and The Butterfly Effect on DVD.

edit: and upon realizing I didn't have an extra HDMI cable like I originally thought, half the price of the DVD player on a F'n HDMI cable :rofl:

[schurchill39]

Medicine hat was pretty shitty for boxing day deals unless you like waiting in line before the store opens. I didnt get what I wanted because sears and canadian tire didnt have any sales on a tool chest but oh well.

I got:
-Reflex wiper blades
-Motomaster Eliminator "ultra-slim" 100w power inverter
-New shoes
-snowboarding helmet.

I might head back out later to pick up a 1g or 2g sd card though.

[hampstor]

I braved the lineups to buy an oil filter at CT :D

You should see West Ed right now... it's like the whole city is there today. :thumbsdow

[KenP]

[Dj_Stylz]

I guess I should have stopped by there, completely forgot about it.

[WWJAI]

Bought a C2 Tech HDMI cable from RCSS for $10.
And bought two t-shirts and a zipup hoodie from underground.

I never saw t-shirts at underground marked down from $100 to $10. The $10 there were marked down from $40 and were Underground brand from what I saw. I went to the market and td location.

Next year, hopefully no more clothes and just going for some electronics.

[old&slow]

I got an HD-DVD unit at best buy.
$449!

My audio/video is now complete...hopefully!

[silver_gs-R]

I bought a JVC deck from Visions for my dad, and thats about it....

Went to SpeedTech lots of very good deals. Just no money lol.

[HyperZell]

I spent 12 hours out there, with about 4 hours of sleep to support me. Needless to say, I'm a little tired, but I'm happy with what I got. That is, a bunch of dress shirts and ties, dress pants, a zip-up, some shirts and some DVDs.

...now that I'm writing about it, it doesn't seem like I bought very much, does it? Man, time goes by...

[CaptainReboot]

Onlne:
2 X 1 GB SD Cards from FS
1 Panasonic 5.8 GHz phone from FS

Store:
Syphon Filter PSP game from Zellers - 25 percent off

I got the FS stuff online as they had it at boxing day prices already a few days before and didn't feel like fighting all those people. You'd think they were giving away stuff with all the lines and people pushing and shoving.

Banana also had their sale on the 23rd so I pick up a sweater then.

Will probably head out this week to try to find a classic controller.

[Palmiros]

I got a 10" Bassworx ported subbox from BB for $20.
And thats about it, cause i woke up late and had to go to work at 12.
I'm heading out there tomorrow to buy 100pack DVD-R (hopefully still in stock) and I'm also looking for a CHEAP(er) widescreen monitor + webcam. Anyone got any suggestions?:D

[joyridder]

Bought a Vacuum, Lamp, Clothes, Shoes.....
Quite happy considering the crowds!

[cosmo]

I got to Market Mall at 7:50am and everyone was already crowding around in the mall waiting for the stores to open! I spent two hours at the mall and was done around 10am. The people weren't TOO pushy.. it was alright. The lineups for Lululemon, Aritzia and Pusch were unbelieveable!! I shook my head and power walked right by.. haha

I picked up:
New Balance crosstrainers from sportchek
bikini and boardshorts from Swimco
swim goggles for my parents from Swimco
underwear from La Senza: 5 for $10 (usually it's 5 for $25!)

Then in the afternoon we headed to TD... which was more packed than previous years. Holt Renfrew was a gongshow.. but not much on sale.

Then we went to the Danier Leather outlet in crowfoot, and the bf picked up two leather jackets at half price. Not bad.. basically 2 for 1! And he got leather gloves to go with his leather jackets.

you got BF2142 for $30?!?!? I was at bestbuy in northland and it was 'on sale' for $50....what is this noise?!?!

for the amount of lining up that i woulda had to do...not worth sacrificing those 3 hrs of sleep hah

but anyway...went to hot gossip on 17th...a pair of sevens, a superdry hoodie + t-shirt all 3 for about $170 havent bought any clothing in about half a year i figured i could justify buying all three...50% off FTW

[Chris88CL]

I figured I would avoid all the lineups at the common sales so I went to hit up princess auto on boxing day to get some cheap tools (lowering the car later that day, needed a spring compressor).

Well, needless to say I drove all the way up north for nothing because the bastards werent open on boxing day. Apparently I wasnt the only person who had that idea though because the parking lot was like a revolving door. Tons of people checking to see if they were open or not.

Then a minivan stops infront of me while im parked with a buddy trying to decide what to do. A kia car stopped behind it and buddy in the minivan backed up into the kia. It was priceless. There were ATLEAST 3 passengers and the driver in the van and nobody decided to look behind them before backing up. Idiots.

So in the end, I bought nothing on boxing day unless replacement tierod ends count. :(

[scat19]

Panasonic Home phone!!! woo!

[nadroj23]

This is what i bought yesterday, went to futureshop my bro got my the install right away 45 mins later outta there with deck installed(bro is manager at that store :P).

I got my stuff online at FS and BB. Got NHL 07 for 360 and a webcam. Not many great deals this year, plus I didn't really need anything. Waiting for my gift cards to come in to get xbox360 so I can play my game. :rofl:

Count yourself lucky that you didn't get that TV, even though you were a little late on consulting Beyond. I would return it and do some research on here or wherever, because EDTVs are garbage. Why spend on old technology, when HDTV is clearly the way of the future?

[schurchill39]

This wasn't on boxing day but I got it on a boxing week sale...

- 300 piece craftsman tool set $280 Then 60% off of that thanks to Mr. Bob Villa which made it $112
