|
 |
Do you fine sexy European creatures have boxing day or something similar over there? Are u going out to buy anything? Have u bought anything?
I'm working today and felt bad asking buddies to brave stores for ne so I ordered online... No lines same price and free shipping?pffftttt easy
Our most famous mall here has a 2 mile long line just to get off the highway and into the mall...parking or moving around at the mall will be mission impossible.
I bought a gtx670 for 380 (including 10 bux faster shipping and 10 bux warranty and ill get 40 dollar rebate) and a refurbished i715 iPhone dock for 50
Wanted a computer chair and some other tiny stuff too which gf will buy me

Yeah we have stuff here in the UK. A lot of shops open at 5/6am to start the sales early and you'll find a queue of people already there for opening. I've given up even trying on boxing day as its far to irritating, so I just stayed in bed while the missus/baby went out to try and get a few bargins. To be fair though, I have no money left after Christmas so I'll be waiting for the January sales to pick something up once I get my next pay cheque.
Not really sure if I actually need anything thought :\.. maybe a new sofa or a coffee machine.

No boxing day in Scandinavia at least... 24 is the big day, great dinner with lots of awesome food then unwrapping the gifts later on.

I never found boxing day to be what it was cracked up to be. People lining up early, the run and grab. I don't need stuff so bad to do that.
That's in Vancouver, British Columbia. Canada

Economic situation is so shitty here, it looks like noone's buying anything and the holiday atmosphere is virtually non existent.
And Belgrade used to have great holiday atmosphere.

Those mail in rebates are pure bull. I got maybe 100 bux of em on black Friday and when I got home I realized there was zero information of where to send stuff or what they needs. I suppose point is to make it as hard as possible to get the rebates back but still.
i5 3570k only 180!
Then in small letter "after 5 dollars instant rebate and 80 dollars mail in rebate"

And didn't you buy stuff for Christmas?

in a consumerist culture of north america you are never really done shopping... like right now my computer is a beast... but now im thinking of upgrading my monitor...then computer desk and chair and then a bunch of guns...
actually maybe a few AR rifles first incase canada decides to be stupid and try to tighten gun laws again and prices for the ARs shoot through the roof.
