Well, as you all know, yesterday was Boxing day here in the great white north. Kinda like thanksgiving day in the US. It’s where people line up at ridiculous hours of the morning, to get the best prices on out of date crap, that stores no longer want to carry. Don’t get me wrong, there’s always that “amazing deal” somewhere, it’s just a matter of finding it.
Since I received a gift card from Best Buy for Christmas, (thanks Mom and Dad) I decided to search on the net, hoping I could find something good to purchase. You know, something that you’ve been needing for a while, but just could not afford to justify the purchase at the time. After mulling over all the deals they had at Best Buy, I found absolutely nothing I wanted to purchase. It could have been the fact that I have almost all the electronics that i could ever want, but all in all, there was nothing really good out there.
I have finally realized that Boxing Day is designed to just get rid of old product to bring in new product. Yeah, it took me a while to figure it out, but until you are an avid consumer, you don’t realize these things as they are not pertinent to you at the time. A way to inject society with a boost of mass consumer consumption. I must say, it definitely is ingenious of corporate Canada to design this day of big bucks flying out any outlet possible.
