There are things like overhead, employee wages, livestock losses that all have to be factored in to the price of everything in the store.... I mean, geez maybe the LFSs shouldn't have boxing day sale if we are gonna get raked over the coals for making money for the rest of the year?.... The sales are for the customers and while yes they still make a profit on some things on Boxing day, other things, they break even or even take a loss on
Boxing day isn't for making money. It's for building brand awareness and brand loyalty. So that the customers that you satisfied on boxing day will come back many times over the following year

if i had a store of any kind, i'd sell everything at cost on boxing day. take as many customers as possible from the competition.
