Touchy


As far as I know J&L and OceanAquatics are having online sales. J&L is also open on Boxing day. King Ed usually has a sale I think, I don't know about HiddenReef but I would imagine they're having a sale as well. Maybe someone else will chime in.

sorry guys i didnt know it was a touchy subject or i wouldnt have said anything but i'm assuming its ok since christy spoke up. i was just hoping for some inside info because living in mission its a long haul to drive around to all the stores just to see whats on sale if you know what i mean. after i posted i went to see a new shipment and was told hidden reef is having the biggest boxing week sale they have ever done. i was floored at the prices they were talking about. i've heard good things about J&L's sales too. i've never checked out OA's on boxing day but i'm going test it out if i can make it in.

christy are we not to be talking about this or what's the skinny?

Merry Christmas CanReefer's.

You can say what you want about the savings on Boxing Day.

All I know is that it has been a lot of fun the last few years, first standing in line with all my reef friends and then seeing what they are buying.

I have always used the Boxing Day sales to replace my supply of staples. Things like light bulbs, additives, test kits, probes, water filters etc. By replacing them on Boxing Day you may only save 10 - 15 % which then can be spent later during the year on more exciting thinks.

See you all at J&L about 7:30.
Oh don't forget it is your turn to bring the coffee.

Of course you can talk about it. Its just that in those "other" threads there was some good discussion last year about it yet this year it was mostly "bumping" and non-constructive posts I guess. It doesn't help that people were speculating as to why prices were raised. Nobody actually knew the real reason or had heard it directly. Prices could have been raised for a number of reasons. However I didn't hear anyone complaining/raving last year when J&L dropped all of their prices by 5% because of the strong canadian dollar. Anyway, thats enough of that.

Personally I'm miffed because even though I finally live over there I still don't get a chance to attend any boxing day sales. Phooey! I will still be glued to my computer though.

Wow Tom, I wasn't really thinking I'd need anything this year but after reading your list I'm thinking I should peruse the site once again
