What deals did you buy last year?

[Ryan]

Last year I was a little tight on money, so I only bought a few games and some clothing.

What did you pick up?

[CanadaBoy]

My sister got a 1GB Sony MP3 player for $100 @ BB

[fl4wless]

Nothing, had just arrived back from SE Asia and Austrlaia after backpacking for 5 months and was broke :(

[Corizzle]

Lost Season 1 for $30
Maxell DVD+R 100 for $20
5 games from Amazon.ca that equalled about $50

That's all I can remember, nothing big

Here is hoping for Lost Season 2 for $30 at Zellers again

[downz]

I got Windows XP Home for 89 bucks among other things. I made a couple of impulse purchases that I should've thought over, but no regrets... I'll pick up less this time around.

[BD006]

I don't think I bought anything (at least, nothing big).

[dgs]

I dont think I bought anything either - I recall it was a good holiday season for retailers and the boxing day sales were not as hot as the previous year.

[Justin]

All I can remember buying is a JVC dvd player for $29.99

[monkey-boy]

i think i lined up for a dvd player, but when i saw it i didn't bother getting it hahaha. I have been going for the past 3 years at around 1am with a bunch of friends in pg and never have bought anything significant that morning... usually went back in the afternoon with my dad to pick up a harddrive or something stupid later.

[Psygineer]

For me, there was nothing in any of the flyers that was worth getting up and standing in line for last year.

[vincent-poon]

bought the Philips 50pk DVD for $10, and Insignia 27" tv for $199.

10 Packs of Philips 50-Pack DVD+Rs for $9.99 - 30% off = $6.99/50, best deal ever. Don't think it was worth lining up at 6am for it though.. but its the spirit that counts!

[Wylliecoyote]

A copy of Civilization 3, than went home and played it for 10 hours straight.

[Chookman]

Two things and they were already mentioned. The Citizen DVD recorder at RCSS for $95 which has turned out to be a good VCR replacement and the Samsung ML-2010 Laser Printer for $-30.

[The Rochester Mirkins]

Trojan Magnums, lots of them.

[igor21000]

What time do these stores open on BD? I see some people saying they went at like 1am, or 5 am, were you just lining up, or actually getting in?

I like how some people leave comments saying they didn't purchase anything.:|

FS/BB open at 7AM in Ottawa, I think it may be 6 in the rest of Ontario... Stooples is 9AM.

[igor21000]

[mahjongmaniac]

FS/BB open at 7AM in Ottawa, I think it may be 6 in the rest of Ontario... Stooples is 9AM.

how bout let's be patient and wait for the boxing day flyers to come... :) and then i'm sure each retailer will specifically state the holiday hrs / boxing day opening times for their specific region, like it always has been every yr....

[blainehamilton]

Bought Polk Audio R30s for $150? or $100? online from futureshop at about 11pm dec 25th. 5 minutes to purchase, that's it.

I never went to a store last year, may not this year either.

After the RCSS clearance sales it's gonna be 'man these prices are so high'

[net_essential]

Got 2 of Philips DVD player for $29.99 each from Best Buy. (1 of those as gift to my parents)

Got 1 of Toshiba 26" CRT wide screen TV for $299 from Future Shop.


Now I'm still enjoying these DVD + TV combo in my bed room.

[Cheap Cat]

Last year, I purchased a dining room set at the Brick for half price on Boxing Day. It was a one day only sale. Usually I hate their furniture but I love this set and it really fits well with my decor. For $1299, I got a buffet and hutch, table with 4 side chairs and 2 armchairs plus a free DVD player. People are shocked at how little I paid.

A couple of days later, I bought a couch for $400 at Sears Outlet store. I had been looking for a suitable couch for a year with no luck and was ready to get one custom made. I need a firm couch due to injuries and I'm picky about style. So it was quite the find. A few weeks after that, I picked up the matching ottoman for $75. Overall, I saved about $3000 on my furniture purchases. I was very happy and I am still proud of my finds.

[tonylau]

Last year, I was not in Canada for boxing wk, going back to home country but returned on Janueary 6, and after that, bought a lot of clothing and comestic for family with even cheaper pice than boxing day (but not all size are available ,though).
