Boxing Day Sales

surely people have enough..

I always bought shoes and boots in the sales after Christmas ,there’s nota decent shoe shop to be found now my other half bought me new tan boots online and gave me them today to keep up my tradition of Boxing Day boots .

I've never been to a boxing day sale.
I don't think I know anyone who has done this??

I have given and received vouchers this year though. The one I gave was for a meal at a local independent restaurant and the one we received was for an Italian hand made pasta company.

I have given Clarks shoe vouchers in the past.

We've never gone to the Boxing Day sales and now there are Black Friday deals and sales before Christmas it seems to have lost its meaning.
I do remember seeing queues of people on TV outside department stores on Boxing Day in years past, hoping for a bargain. I think the DGC are going shopping in a day or two to spend their Christmas money.

Most people I know seem to go out for a Boxing Day walk; we did although it was very foggy!

Gosh, is this really a family "tradition"?

Given Boxing Day trading wasn't a thing before the mid 1990's when the government relaxed trading laws, I'm surprised anyone had had time to make into a tradition!

No, not for me or my family, I must admit it would never occur to me to go shopping on Boxing Day. But there's plenty of voucher giving in the family.

Bea65 - I was one of those. I bought a lot of stuff at those Boxing Day sales - my Royal Doulton Dinner Service (which none of my family want), light fittings , Noritake coffee Set (given to my daughter, which is gathering in one of her storage cupboards.), a lovely Red Winter Coat, which I still use - loads of stuff actually. I very rarely bought anything for the house, unless they were in the sales. 😂
