December 26 is more than just the day after Christmas for consumerists… It is the day when people line up for discounts (read anywhere from a piddly 10% to a grandiose 90%).

If I was in Saskatoon or Regina, I would have been lined up outside the big box meccas of consumerism like Best Buy or Future Shop. But I’m not in the city today. I’m back behind the garlic curtain — in Yorkton.

A quick drive down Broadway at 7am confirmed one thing : there indeed are only a handful of places to go Boxing Day wild. I’m standing in one of them now as I type … Wal-Mart. (I **was** at Zellers… but that was just wrong.)

Granted… I’m going to find a good deal of some kind here… But it just doesn’t have the same geeky afterglow of shopping at an electronics temple.
