We didn't come all the way to NZ in order to enjoy a new shopping experience. Only once have we ever been to a boxing day sale in NZ, and only because our TV went bang and we had been waiting for weeks to pick up a new one during the sales. My OH chose the one he wanted from the Noel Leeming on-line sale list, after comparing the spec for a few models. He got up early and turned up a few minutes before the store opening time, and joined a queue to get in and found it nowhere near as busy compared to UK sales. Then again there is nowhere near the level of bargains to be found here as the market is too small. Anyway, while other people jostled over items in the store he went straight up to the counter and said he wanted X item, and walked out with it less than 2 minutes later, came home and got back into bed before the rest of us had even stirred.
