    I remember last year Noel Leeming opened 7:30am and Harvey Norman 8:00am, which was good for me because they both had high demand things I wanted and could go to both without worrying about the other selling out.

    This year they open at the same time so may have to prioritise deals or split up!

    Ahhh first world boxing day problems :)

  • nzmax on 21/12/2016 - 20:35

    Last year the boxing day sales started on Xmas day online. I recall some even may have started on Xmas eve online. Not sure if there will be any great ones this year. The last few years have been pretty disappointing. Some stores do tend to have a small number of a certain product at a good price, just to get people into the store, but most people can miss out.

  • Dunno on 21/12/2016 - 20:37

    Most of the great deals are well before xmas(ie early november at the latest) before new stock starts coming in. The best time to pickup older SKU's TV's etc at clearance prices.

  • kiwijunglist on 22/12/2016 - 08:51

    I need to buy the following on boxing day.

    F/freezer.

    Microwave.

    Electric mower
    Electric weed eater
    Ladder
    Garden hose.
    Garden tools.
    Planter pots.

    • Kiwi on 22/12/2016 - 09:01

      That's a huge list lol

      We got our bulbs from China, no issues at all.

    • singh on 22/12/2016 - 09:09

      Are you buying a new house and car too? :P

        Just bought the house last week.

        And yes will be buying a new (second hand) car too, but not for boxing day!

    • rkl on 22/12/2016 - 09:33

      Lol that was me a fee years ago before i got married.
      Hope you have a team to line up at all the right stores.

      Also should note, sometimes easier to go Noel leeming first, give them the list of products and prices you know are on sale and order the lot through them.

      • kiwijunglist on 22/12/2016 - 10:22

        Good idea. Was planning to do that today.

        • rkl on 22/12/2016 - 10:26

          For the whiteware, hold out till boxing day.
          Got a F&p 7.5kg washer for 599 (harvey norman),
          got a basic f&p dryer (went basic as i use like a dozen times a year if that) for $299 i think (harvey norman),
          got my twin door LG stainless f/freeze for $999 (good guys)
          all had sold out country wide by 9am

        • kiwijunglist on 22/12/2016 - 11:30

          @rkl:

          All above sold out by 9am?

        • rkl on 22/12/2016 - 12:00

          @kiwijunglist: Yeap, i had lined up from 730 so was sweet, but everything I had purchased was sold out by 9am.

        • kiwijunglist on 22/12/2016 - 12:02

          @rkl: finish work after 8am on boxing day :( :(

    • wearnes on 22/12/2016 - 11:02

      bset deal i've seen on a 30m hose, and its got nice crimp fittings
      https://www.farmlands.co.nz/Online-Shop/Farm-Merchandise/Gar…

      Last time i saw this hose at bunnings it was much more than $46. you could try your luck with a price match.

    • Sam91 on 24/12/2016 - 15:03

      We picked up a 7kg Simpson Front Loader from Noel Leeming last year for $399. It was an online only deal and it was posted Christmas Eve. According to this comment, they're doing the same thing this year.

    • kiwijunglist on 28/12/2016 - 04:25

      So i got the first 5 items. Washing machine and dryer from smiths city. Mwave Fridge and dyson v6 from noel leeming. Mower from mitre10. I found everyone was willing to price match heathcotes who seemed to have the best white wear deals.

      Currently looking at couches target or harvey norman maybe. Still need dishwasher would like to get a single dish drawer.

  • kiwijunglist on 22/12/2016 - 11:57

    I'm in wellington so my plan of attack will either be;

    Tory Street -> Harvey Norman / Noel Leeming
    Ngauranga Gorge -> Smiths City

    (or)

    Porirua -> Harvey Norman / Noel Leeming / Smiths City / Bunnings / Mitre 10

    (or)

    Queensgate -> JB Hifi / Noel Leeming
    Lower Hutt -> Harvey Norman / Smiths City / Mitre 10
    Petone -> 100% Appliances / Bunnings

    I guess it depends on what's available online, I'm guessing that all the good deals will be limited numbers instore only. What do you reckon would be less busy, Porirua or Lower Hutt? I finish work at wellington hospital at 8am (night shift) and then will quickly handover and race around town.

  • kiwijunglist on 22/12/2016 - 12:26

    Don't also forget pricematch might make things easier on boxing day, or maybe too hectic to get them to do it.

  • Hamster on 23/12/2016 - 17:53

    So I just saw on the Noel Leeming website that their online boxing day sale starts at Christmas eve 24th starting at 7:10pm.

    https://www.noelleeming.co.nz/boxingday?nst=SEM&gclid=CIfdpM…

    • rkl on 23/12/2016 - 18:09

      Anyone know of any manufacturers runnings cashback/ promos that end on the 24th? (like the sony tv last year came with a PS4 and the Canon cameras that came with cashbacks until the 24th)

      Just checked, Canon are doing it again. So if someone is looking at Canon cameras or lenses be sure to buy tomorrow night, do not wait till the 25th or 26th as you wont get the cashback anymore.

      • [Deactivated] on 23/12/2016 - 18:14

        HP and Canon both end on the 24th :)

      • wearnes on 24/12/2016 - 20:27

        Just had a thought, most sales start tonight so there might be a good online deal out there that can still be redeemed.

    • wearnes on 24/12/2016 - 20:39

      what do you guys think
      https://www.noelleeming.co.nz/shop/photography/digital-camer…
      d3400 with 674.25 - $100 cashback $574.25

      JB has stock but if you buy tonight it'd be $558 after redemption

    Noel Leeming are a bit disappointing this year. I remember last year they had the S6 for $650, compared to $850 for the S7 this year. Also last year they had a $2 usb drive and a $2 phone.

    • rkl on 24/12/2016 - 19:52

      Im dissapointed as. Really love boxing day (as you can probably tell by me spamming posts all day). But no great TV, Phone or Dyson deals.
      Im just glad I listened to the cheapies and bought the PS4 and Xbox from the Warehouse on tuesday.

      • Kiwi on 24/12/2016 - 19:55

        The thing is, we are immersed in the industry. We see the sales day in, day out, really. Most of these marketing staff don't know that, and probably don't care. As we grow and more people become aware of the tactics used, then either the price dynamics will change or less and less people will be shopping on Boxing Day, or both.

      • wearnes on 24/12/2016 - 19:56

        Yeah i'm saving judgement untill Monday in store. Haven't seen anything great so far. Hopefully the online sales are just to try to rip people off/make money before the in store sales.

      • Hamster on 24/12/2016 - 19:57

        Yeah a bit anticlimactic :(

        There is one good phone deal I noticed, not high end, but the Huawei GT3 which is basically a P9 lite in disguise for $169 at Noel Leeming. Pretty good specs for that price.

    • midastouch on 24/12/2016 - 21:44

      Agreed. The best deals I've found are on Sony headphones and the LG 2.1ch sound bar.

      • joshtnz on 26/12/2016 - 09:29

        Hey, where did you see an LG soundbar on sale?. Which model? Cheers!

          I had a look for it as well.
          I'm guessing it was this one.

        • midastouch on 26/12/2016 - 14:54

          @pdkm: Yep that's the one. Had an in-store demo of it last month and thought it was quite good.

          I guess it just depends if you prefer stereo vs virtual surround.

        • joshtnz on 26/12/2016 - 19:56

          @midastouch:

          Ah yep. That one does look good but I was hoping for one that would integrate with the LG music flow speakers I have! Those are all still bloody pricey though.

  • OwnCritic on 24/12/2016 - 20:35

    Best deal on the Xbox one S still at JB Hifi with the $340 500gb model?

        • Kiwi on 25/12/2016 - 16:12

          I've purchased multiple times, various sized packages. Shipping times are pretty reasonable, usually within a week. At this time of year, probably within 2.

        • wearnes on 25/12/2016 - 16:20

          Thank You! its a good option

        • Kiwi on 25/12/2016 - 16:22

          No worries. Surfstitch could be another option, I got these for about $40 during a sale a few months back.

    Hi Cheapies, I'm uninspired by boxing day. What decent deals have I missed? I don't think I need anything in particular but there's nothing even tempting me. Thanks in advance.

    • Kiwi on 26/12/2016 - 17:42
      +2

      What decent deals have I missed?

      Not much really. Black Friday was better this year, and probably every year going forward. I can see why people get excited though, they don't see the best deals all the time like we do.

      • eXDee on 26/12/2016 - 17:45

        I bought a car battery. 25% off, still far more expensive than the same thing from Aussie.

    • Hamster on 26/12/2016 - 22:28

      Yes very disappointing compared to last year, even last year had very limited deals but was better. There were much less people in the shops and was almost like a ghost town in some major retailers. Goes to show many were not inspired this year.

  • alexkusu on 26/12/2016 - 22:12

    It was in the news recently, that according to sales data, Boxing Day is considered the second busiest day for sales/purchases etc. The first would be 29th January. The news article went on to say there were at least 40% more deals on 29th January. I kept thinking about it but I have no idea why……the why 29th January has the most sales? Is it end of season sales? Anyone know why?

  • fatboyj on 26/12/2016 - 23:11

    I simply don't believe that the 29th could be busier then pre xmas or boxing day. Where is this news article? Is this Chinese new years everyone buy stuff day?

  • alexkusu on 27/12/2016 - 10:44

    http://www.nzherald.co.nz/business/news/article.cfm?c_id=3&o…

    "..Research from point of sale software company Vend shows Boxing Day is the second most discounted day of the year - second only to January 29…"

    • Kiwi on 27/12/2016 - 11:05

      So it's based on price and discounts rather than sales or profits?

    • Hamster on 27/12/2016 - 11:26

      That's quite interesting, the only kind of holiday that coincides around date is Auckland Anniversary. Which considering its a regional holiday is surprising it has the largest discounted day nationally. Then again, I guess if all the heads of major retailers are based in Auckland that could be the reason.

      • Kiwi on 27/12/2016 - 11:54

        Its also the day after Chinese New Year.

        • Hamster on 27/12/2016 - 12:41

          So does this mean the 29th Jan is now Choice Cheapies official discount day of the year? :)

    • neil on 27/12/2016 - 12:41

      Very interesting. I've sent Vend an email to see what the deal is.

    • footy7 on 28/12/2016 - 01:41

      End of January is the end of the holiday season, where everyone is getting ready (and purchasing stuff) to go back to work, or back to school, uni, polytech etc. etc.

  • alexkusu on 27/12/2016 - 12:24

    I doubt its chinese new year…eg for CNY 2015, it falls on 19th February, for 2016 it was 8th February while 2017 would be 28th Jan. I think they tend to travel back overseas to spend it with their families. But to be safe, I bought half of what I wanted or 'needed' this boxing day, the rest would consider buying the rest on 29th January.
