Boxing Day sales in Toronto for 2018

Boxing Day sales in Toronto for 2018 are plentiful, with steep discounts on the very same goods people were paying full price for literally two days earlier. If you're brave enough to face the crowds and clever enough to have saved some cash, it's time to shop for Y-O-U (and any friends or relatives you haven't yet seen this holiday season.)

Here are my picks for the best Boxing Day sales in Toronto for 2018.

Tech

Best Buy

Serious savings are in store for those brave enough to visit Best Buy on Boxing Day. Is a 75" LG Smart TV worth a few bruised elbows? Depends on how much you want to save a full $1,200 when buying one on the 26th. Door crasher deals this year also include a $399 DLSR camera from Canon and Instant Pots for just $90.

Henry's

Canada's self-described "greatest camera store" is hosting an entire week of sales between December 26 and January 3 with more than 15,000 discounted items between its online shop and retail locations.

Vistek

This expansive camera and video emporium promises excellent deals on gear throughout boxing week, with up to 40 per cent off on everything from memory cards and lens filters to full on professional videography setups. This sale starts on the 24th if you're looking for a head start.

Moog Audio

Get serious about your side hustle as a Dj, rock star or concert cellist this year with 15 per off of almost everything in this mind-blowing Queen West musical instrument and production store.

The Source

In Vintage We Trust

Hayley Elsaesser

Toronto fashion darling Hayley Elsaesser's colourful boutique is hard to leave without at least a few cute things in tow — even more so during big sales. The brand's boutique on Queen Street West will be doing 30 per cent off everything this Boxing Day, including new collections and already marked down stock. 

Chosen Vintage

More Dundas West discounts are in store for shoppers at this vintage fashion retailer, which is is having a one-day-only sale on the 26th with 30 per cent off clothing, shoes and bags.

Home & Design

Stylegarage

This massive modern furniture joint on Ossington is hosting a week-long "E-Warehouse" sale starting December 26 at 10 a.m. Expect brand-new sectionals, sofas, beds, casegoods & accents that are either discontinued or overstock at discounts of more than 50 per cent off.
