Boxing Day Sales On Electronics At Best Buy And Future Shop

19 Boxing Day Deals On Electronics That Will Make Techies Happy

Christmas is upon us, and you know what that means — only a few more sleeps until Boxing Day!

Actually, that's no longer true if you're seeking deals on electronics from Canadian retailers.

If you're looking for sales on items like televisions, video game systems and computers, you need only wait until Christmas Eve to start your shopping.

"Boxing Day Sales" at Future Shop and Best Buy start at 8 p.m. ET (5 p.m. PT) on Dec. 24 and end at 3 a.m. ET (12 a.m. PT) on Jan. 2.

A Future Shop spokesman told The Huffington Post Canada last week that starting early allows the chain to be continuously open, from the time that its last store shuts its doors on Christmas Eve, right up until early January.

Both retailers are offering plenty of savings on products like the iPhone 6, the Samsung Galaxy Tab and DSLR cameras.

There's no question that plenty is available. What's at question is whether Canadians should bother.

Several analysts have sounded alarm bells about Canadian household debt levels. One of the most recent warnings comes from the Bank of Canada, which earlier this month named debt as one of the risks offsetting improvements to the country's economic health.

Credit rating agency Equifax has also noted that Canadians now owe $1.5 trillion in non-mortgage debt, with an average of $20,891 per person.

Much of that debt has been driven by credit card use and auto loans, the agency said.

So by all means, take advantage of the sales out there. But watch your wallet carefully.
