I noticed that the FutureShop next to you will be open at 6 am, what time will you lot be opening mseguin?

[beowulf]

I'm also curious to see what time things open up at in Ottawa on Boxing day.  Here in Montreal it's 1pm till 9pm.

[mseguin]

Opening at 9 babblefish

I believe it is time to get ready to go and stand in line at the doors of all your favourite stores, and get ready to spend even more money than you would have.

See you all in line today!

[mseguin]

Be nice to your overworked retail employees today, some of them had to get get up at ungodly hours so you could save.

[beowulf]

So weird how here in Montreal everything opens at 1pm compared to what seems to be 9am in Ottawa.  Kind of sucks for me as I am going to miss both as we are leaving here around 9am before there is to much snow.  I guess I'll stop at BA Innis as we pass by and see if there is anything left after all you vultures have decended on it 

[succinctfish]

It's the poor sods who work someplace that opens at 6:00 a.m. that I feel for most keenly. That's just wrong; I mean what time do they have to get to work

I am blissfully enjoying a leisurely breakfast because I know the secret to boxing day mania--make a list and send someone else out there

But hey kudos to all of you who stood in line at Big Als' today....mmm this coffee is good...

Cheers to that!!! mmm... coffee...

[babblefish1960]

Yup, "send someone else out there", here, spent hours fulfilling the list specifications at a couple of stores, now I want a cheeseburger. That is so tiring standing in line for so long and not smoking.

Well, I was in line with several OVAS'ers this morning at BA Kanata.  I went straight to the counter upon entry to buy my big items, then came back about 5pm to pick up the little stuff.

I got 2 75gals, 5 10gals, and some odds and ends.  HUGE thanks to RoxyDog who helped me get my big tanks home in her truck

I had to be at work for 5AM. But some of my co-workers were at work for as early as 2AM to get everything ready for our big 6AM open. (I work at Best Buy.) It's just insane. But when you have a $1.5 million sales goal, I guess you need those extra hours of shopping madness!

I'm guessing those 110 gal tanks went right at open? All big tanks are gone though, I'm guessing? Was there a limit on how many one customer could buy?

[babblefish1960]

I was fortunate enough to catch a new 90 gallon before they were all gone, and as I pondered how on earth I was going to bring it home(I was so sure I put one in the back seat of the Jetta before, but maybe the windows can't be shut). BigDaddy offered to help me out and laughed heartily over my clearly insane notion.

Got the little rascal home via one of those mini-things from the suburbs, the tank I mean, and now the process begins of fitting it in somewhere. I suppose I could suspend it over the bathtub, high enough for me to continue using the appliance and maintain the tank.

[yellowtang]

I was at b'als at around 2pm and was surprised to see quite
a few large tanks still for grabs like three 75g still in boxes
and some 110g+ avilable.........guess there was some interest in dry goods
rather.......Fish were still not the main attraction though .
I had in mind a 75 g,but since I'am moving I opted to pass
on the 75g deal they had.
But over all I guess it was a good day for most shoppers .
cheers.

[babblefish1960]

I definitely noticed a lot of red sea salt going out the door today at both BA's, I guess it was a good price, even people who don't have marine tanks were buying some, maybe it's for the tequila?

[darkdep]

The Salt seemed to be the big thing.  When I came back at 5pm I saw a lot of tanks with "sold" stickers on them, but more big ones still available than I thought.  Someone bought the 210gal they had there

I would have bought more this morning, but after I bought my 75gals, and Roxy and I went to look at fish the line was probably over an hour long. 

[Aiglos]

I was at the Kitchener big als this morning at 9am and it was pretty busy; spent more time waiting in line then shopping;  Hit the London big als this afternoon.  picked up 2 of the ehiem Auto feeders and 2 36" coralife pc lights. Good busy shopping.

The guy buying that 210g next year will be me!!!  How much was it in Ottawa?

I can tell you what will be on sale, but don't have all the prices off-hand.

All Aquaclear Filters 50% off MSRP

I went there, and the AC110 I purchased was $15 off the $74.99 initial price.  Definitely not 50% off....unless SP is already selling them under MSRP.

[mseguin]

Yes they are already under MSRP
