Miskiin-Macruuf-Aqiyaar Posted December 27, 2005 Salaan... Every year, I schedule myself to try to go to the mall on the so-called Boxing Day, and finally see what this commercialism gone mad brouhaha is all about. Finally seeing the ugly face of capitalism, how the unsuspecting masses fight over what they were told are 70% Off!!! Unfortunately [fortunately] and equally, every year, I miss it somehow; sometimes I am shiid oo ka jabantahay (no need to window-shop; I am Faarax after all), sometimes meel aan u socdaa, kasoo socdaa. Today, as usual I missed without shopping a bag of xanjo. Meel aan kasoo socday. So, have the inundation of 80% off!! 90% off!! duped you to shop? I think I should keep my record clean as being the only person I know who never shopped on a Boxing Day. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Castro Posted December 27, 2005 ^ Makes two of us. I usually shop, in the best of times, with a gun to my head. That whole money out of my wallet and into a cash-register is not me. As Sheh would say: boxing day my matako! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
STOIC Posted December 27, 2005 Miskin, all the brouhaha will come to an end once the credit card bills start rolling in on January.The only time of the year that i do my shopping is the friday after thanksgiving (ok girls,am not that penurious;i do buy some stuff occasionally!).

Medley of extemporanea Posted December 27, 2005 Forget about missing it, I didn't even know it was boxing day! I've found that being in the US is a great way to miss boxing day. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rahima Posted December 30, 2005 I went. I shopped. I was convinced I’d made good use. I was convinced I’d scored bargains galore. Now I have succumb to reality. It is all too over-rated and a waste of bloody time. What you want to be on sale is never on sale :mad: . All the items i wanted (mainly shoes and bags) were not on sale. They knew I wanted them but the morons chose to retain those ridiculous prices. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
