[KLKelly]

Sorry guys - didn't mean to start a tangent ....

What I really meant was when do the flyers get sent out - will we know a week in advance what the specials are???

I am not sure about in Ottawa but last year in Montreal I received it about 10 days or so before if I remember correctly.

Cool.

I went to BA Kanata today...a lot of 90s, a couple 75s, and some 60-65s all stacked around.  Also some larger tanks, like 125 with overflows, 150 plain.  I don't know if the larger ones will be on sale.  I asked about specifics, but all I got was 'come early'. 

I won't be getting the flyer...can anyone post it, or a link to it when they receive it?

As Quatro posted, LAST year's boxing day flyer is Here.

And the pre-Xmas flyer from last year is  here

[artw]

I will ask at the store tonight, if I have time,  and I'll find out when this year's flyer is going to be released.

[wu-gwei]

Any more updates? I am sure BA staff must be so annoyed with us and I am sure they're lurking around and just laughing at our giddiness. lol


Cheers,
JJ

I asked Jody the other day, he said he didn't know yet.

[olson78]

Anybody seen any flyers for this year yet?

[beowulf]

Nothing as of yet, last year I had already received both by this time.

[artw]

I'll ask again when I go in tonight, but I haven't heard or seen anything about Boxing day yet.

I note that the posts in this thread quoting prices is in contravention to the Phantom Advertising guideline.

Should these posts be deleted?

[artw]

I wouldn't exactly say that.  people are merely discussing various prices at stores across the city for the benefit of each other.  Nobody is blatently advertising for a specific store.

[Rudy00]

if you're not affliated with the store why does it matter?

Tee hee hee, a little cyber sluthing and I think I found the boxing week flyer

http://www.bigalscanada.com/boxingdayflyer.htm

I didn't get mine in the mail.  So for those of you who did, can you check and make sure this is truly this year's flyer?

[darkdep]

The flyer from this year and last year are ALMOST identical...the big items all appear to be the same (for the same prices). 

[fishycanuck]

Is there any point in going to line up in the early morning if all I want are some platys or some such? I'm NOT GOING TO BUY A TANK. There. I've said it.

[babblefish1960]

Yes there is my dear fishycanuckness, you will have great fun with gazillions of other shoppers, spend countless hours trying to get the fish out of the tanks and to the cashier, and of course you will buy a tank, largely because you'll see one you know you have a spot for and it's the last one, you would hate to miss such a great price, and really, quite honestly, you know that the MTS bug is so not done with you yet.

For all the reptile fans out there, Superpet is having some good deals on Exo-Terra Terrariums, 40% off if i heard correctly. Lots of stuff at 50% off in all departments. Managers special galore at SP barrhaven in the fish department, reptiles is having a few aswell. Fluval 304's are going for $99.99. Aquarium kits are at 30%-40% off I believe aswell. Come check it out when your done at Big Als, should be exciting. Merry Christmas everyone!
