I actually experienced my first Boxing Day shopping day...went to SportCheck and got new ice skates for $179.00 (retail $440). CCM Tacks

Can you take them back? Eastons are way better or even Graf's with the Easton Blades are awesome.

Cheers,

You mispelled "Smart". Should be "Retarded".

Why "retarded?" What's the point of your post? Do you pay full price for everything you buy? That sound "retarded" to me. Don't bother going to the Hot Deals forum since everyone there is "retarded" or is a "retard" you know. Does that make you a "retard" for going after a hot deal?

No, I don't pay full price for everything I buy. Shopping on Boxing Day is a total waste of time. I only had to do it once to figure that out.

By the way, with regards to the whole Boxing Day shopping thing ... it's pretty much Boxing Week after week after week.

Smart people do crazy discounted shopping after Xmas.

Have you seen the BRICK commercials.. always do Boxing Week Sales.. up through April!

hehe. Here in BC there was a furniture chain(don't recall which) that advertised a "Going Out of Business" sale for years. 😀

I wish people would read posts more accurately. I said "after Xmas" which doesn't just mean Boxing Day itself. It means the many weeks after Boxing Day.

Retailers clear out stock both old and new in the upcoming weeks at further and further discounted prices.

If you're smart you can visit the relatively sparse Malls and stores for compounded sale prices and get great deals.

I never said "do all your shopping on Boxing Day itself" - but I suppose that didn't matter to some people since reading comprehension went out the window back in grade school.

you people got it all wrong! boxing day = the day to open all your xmas gifts. I guess its a custom for people in the USA to open their presents right away usually right before the gift giver's eyes. (Doing so, is a sign that you are a greedy mofo) It is not like that in other countries, they will take the gift (still wrapped and all) and put it under the tree and open it, you guessed it, the day after xmas, boxing day.

Interesting.

I didn't even know they had boxes in the Middle Ages, let alone a special day for them.
