I think that extending out Black Friday into a season and blending into Christmas/Boxing Day has made the entire affair quite watered down IMO Answer from DougandBob on reddit.com

Lately? It has disappeared about 10 years ago lol. I once wanted to buy 2 shirts from the bay. It was 39.99 about a week before boxing day. I was like, I'll just wait for boxing day. Waited for said day. Now it's 80 dollars but with a 50% off tag on it. Fuckin crazy. Aside from electronics, everything else is a scam. If something is on sale, it's usually overstock that people dont want.

I spent some time working in retail as both a buyer and a promotions manager, and I can say two things. First, is that one reason the sales aren't as good is because retailers have been pushing more towards "micro events" throughout the year to bolster their sales. If you're looking to buy a new 20v drill, the price at Father's Day is going to be just as good as Black Friday.  This isn't because the BF price is worse - it's because the FD price is better. Basically, retailers are regularly throughout the year driving prices on key items down to zero margin.  Retailers are loathe to sell anything at truly negative margin, so there's nothing left for them to do at Black Friday except pull out tricks like selling a lower-spec item or faking the regular price for a "deeper discount". The second is Foreign Exchange.  As our dollar gets weaker and weaker, all of the stuff we buy from China (typically in USD) gets more expensive. A retailer who sold an item as $99.99 last year for zero margin now has a few options simply due to FX.  Sell at a loss (not going to happen), sell a cheaper version (often happens), bump your price all the way to $119.99 because $109.99 is an ugly price point customers don't like (often happens).

Boxing Day Sale 2025-2026 Non-NA Megathread

Boxing Day Sale 2025-2026 Rant Megathread

'Twas the night before Boxing Day, when all through r/LushCosmetics

Not a creature was stirring, not even a scrubee;

The knot wraps were hung by the chimney with care,

In hopes that beautiful gift boxes soon would be there;

The lushies were nestled all snug in their beds,

While visions of snow fairies danced in their heads;

And the moderators in their fresh face masks,

Had just settled down for a long winter's bath,

...

Hello all of you lovely Lushies!

Warmest holiday wishes and good tidings to you all from your moderator team here at r/lushcosmetics.

We are just around the corner from every Lush fans favourite day of the year- Boxing Day! We have created this Boxing Day megathread for all news, rumours, questions, tips and stories regarding the possible boxing day sale!

When/If the Boxing Day Sale happens, we are not restricting PHYSICAL haul posts to be included in this mega thread. We do ask that when you make boxing day haul posts to please use the 'Boxing Day Sale' post flair, as well as include a comment on your post with additional information about your boxing day sale purchase or experience. For example, how early did you get there? Or which of these are a new purchase for you? What are you sad was not in stock? Any surprise items included in your store's sale,etc.

What is the Lush Boxing Day Sale?

In years past, Lush has held a Boxing Day Sale, on- you guessed, Boxing Day- December 26th. The sale has been held both in-store and online. This was typically the only time of year that Lush has a sale (the freshness sale was the first non-boxing day sale many of us have seen!), so it is quite a big deal to lovers of all things Christmas Pud and Snow Fairy and good smelling. Every year sale details vary from country to country. (Some countries are in-store only, others online, or some not at all.) The sale is for Halloween and Christmas line products only, although discontinued and end-of-freshness date products have are sometimes included. Products on sale are offered as either half-price or Buy One, Get One Free (the cheaper of the two products being discounted.) Some stores will also include products that are possibly being discontinued or are close to expiration/manufactured before a certain date but this is not guaranteed and will vary from shop to shop.

Happy holidays to everyone, and happy (potential) Boxing Day Sale hunting!

I find that holiday shopping has changed in recent years with Black Friday/Cyber Monday and stores trying to entice customers to buy before the holidays with big savings. Everything afterwards seems like it is done online and brick and mortar stores do not offer those blockbuster deals on boxing day anymore.

Does anyone remember the old boxing day hoop-la of waiting in line before a store opens to score a big deal? If so, what did you buy?

I remember when I lived in Midtown about 15 years ago and going to SportingLife where every clothing item was marked at least 50% off. I also remember it being a lot colder outside but that would not deter people.

I was at the mall again today for something else so I stopped by lush again to see what they had left. They had some new things that I didn’t see yesterday like the Rudolph mask the sufganiyah scrubs and the gong and beats shower jellies. I was locked in and my husband didn’t understand. I showed him the giant snow fairy and sleepy bear shower jellies but I didn’t end up getting either lol

r/FrugalMaleFashionCDN on Reddit: Is boxing day a huge one for sales on clothing?
December 16, 2022 -

Hi,

I moved to Canada in September and I am unaware of how huge boxing day is for getting discounts on clothing items. I always thought black Friday was a big deal but I didn't find much success during that week. Moreover, I don't think there were any good deals as such. I got a Calvin Klein jacket for 87 by following a thread from here and it is quite warm and comfortable. I got lucky with that one I guess. Anyway, my point being should I keep my hopes up for the boxing day or not?

Any other advice for buying clothes would be appreciated as well if any!

Rest, May the gods of shopping be with us!
