Title: Dec. 26 / Boxing Day
Post by: Bucky on December 25, 2011, 05:24:55 PM
So . . . . are there any brave souls who are going to attempt the stores tomorrow on Dec. 26th for the after-Christmas sales? 

Some of the stores are opening at 5 a.m.  (here we go again . . . reminds me of Black Friday  ???)

My "boys" are talking about going . . .  ::)

Now, I will admit that I have bought several decorations for the house at deep discount prices after Christmas in years past.  There is nothing I NEED - to warrant me getting up early and fighting the crowds tomorrow.  I think I'll pass.

I WOULD like a new pair of slippers as having Raynaud's - my feet get sooooo cold during the winter . . . but, I'll wait and take my chances that there might be something left on another day other than tomorrow.

IF anyone ventures out tomorrow, let us know how it went and if you found any good bargains.   ;)

I never ventured out to do Christmas shopping and I'm staying put now too! Good luck to brave souls who do though. I'll look for bargains online! (Ebay can be quite good for new unwanted gifts!)

Take care - Scottie  :)

I never go shopping on the 26 December. I just thik it is wrong of stores to expect their staff, who are usually frazzled in the days running up to Christmas, to be back at their work just one day later. I think, apart from essential services, most people would feel better having a minimum of two days off.

Scottie, I can't remember when I last had a good wander around the stores, and would rather do it late at night or on a Monday when most people are back at school or work.  Happy ebaying.
