For some people, it’s the most anticipated day of all the Christmas season.
They will even put off the traditional Christmas shopping spend in readiness for the Boxing Day sales, hoping to grab a buy they have had their eye on but hoping to bag it at a reduced price. This is the way all of the Christmas present-giving happens in some households, seeking even more value for their money by waiting until just after the big day.
While others prefer to approach Boxing Day in chilled mode, after the more full-on festivities of the run up to Christmas and December 25, many will be heading off to the shops, if they have not already bagged enough great deals in the online sales. Regardless of the hour, savvy shoppers will forego precious sleep to be at the front of the sale queues on Boxing Day.
With so many prices slashed at this time of year, it’s a chance to get a head start on next Christmas too. Here are local store opening times for the Boxing Day sales.
Boots
Gift sets, make-up and more tends to be marked down straight after Christmas at Boots. Think about squirreling away some discount-priced items for birthdays and Christmas next year – you can shop on Boxing Day from 10.30am to 4.30pm, at Freshney Place.
Currys
The Currys sale is billed as a chance to snap up some high-end tech at a fraction of the normal selling price. Its store at High Point Retail Park will be open from 9am to 6pm.
Dunelm
The homewares and soft furnishings store will be open for post-Christmas deals, from 10am to 5pm, at Victoria Street North, Grimsby.
Matalan
Matalan’s Christmas sale has been running for a while now, online and in store. Expect Christmas decorations, clothing and homewares to be the ones with “reduced” labels attached if you are heading for the Boxing Day sale – the store at Corporation Road is due to be open from 9am to 6pm.
Primark
You can often find a sale or clearance area at other times of the year but any extra after-Christmas savings can be had from 10am to 4pm, at Freshney Place.
Next
Next bosses have again decided to keep stores closed on Boxing Day with the chain beginning its “End of Season Sale” at 6am on Friday, December 27, at its store at Victoria Retail Park, where you can shop from until 8pm, and at Freshney Place, with trading until 5.30pm.
