Boxing Day posts are generally always late. I usually give my shopping tips the day before already. However, to really win the miles and points game, you have to plan well ahead of time, in anticipation.
So if you are reading this post before heading out for the Boxing Day shopping, then have a great day! Otherwise, this post is more of a post-Boxing Day theme. Hopefully everyone came home happy with their purchases. Happy as in, feeling that you got great value for what you purchases.
