Do you shop on Boxing Day (or Black Friday)?

In the UK and other commonwealth countries, December 26th is Boxing Day. There's a whole lot of speculation about the true meaning and origin of the day but, where I come from, for most people it really means "bargain day"! Much like Black Friday in the U.S., people rush out to shop... mainly for clearance items and even line up for hours before stores open so they can find the best bargains.
I haven't shopped on Boxing Day for years (since I get totally "shopped out" by Christmas Day!) but today we decided to go. I wanted to stock up on wrapping paper for next Christmas (and got some great rolls for only $1.33 -- half price!) and we also got some DVDs @ 2 for $10. We saw a lot of people buying televisions today. That seemed to be a really popular item!
Did you get any Boxing Day or Black Friday bargains? Brag here about your very best deal! ;)
