5 Boxing Day Sales Across Mississauga

It's that time of year again! The time when tiny, bespectacled children and elderly grandmothers with walkers are trampled underfoot as people stampede towards discounted DVDs and toilet paper.

While we recently fully welcomed Black Friday to our neck of the woods, Boxing Day has always been a consumerist extravaganza for Canadian shoppers and there are a lot of great deals to be had this year.

Here are five places to check out for some great Boxing Day deals!

Erin Mills Town Centre

Erin Mills Town Centre, the mall known for its very expensive (and very beautiful) reno, is a great place to hit on Boxing Day because its retailers are offering a host of excellent deals and the mall is very close to Indigo (which also has its fair share of deals ready to go). The mall will be open from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m., so you have lots of time to shop. Some retailers offering sweet deals include Le Chateau (up to 60 per cent off), Aldo (up to 50 per cent off) and Bentley (up to 30 per cent off).

Heartland Town Centre

Since Heartland is a sprawling outdoor shopping district rather than a mall, deals may vary. In terms of specific Boxing Day deals, the Centre’s stores are offering a range of Boxing Day and Boxing Week promotions, all of which you can find here. Some interesting deals worth checking out? Globo Shoes (up to 50 per cent off), Garage Clothing (up to 40 per cent off) and Tommy Hilfiger (up to 60 per cent off).

Small Stores and Malls

If you want to support more local retailers, check out Shop the Neighbourhood. It'll let you know what's happening with smaller stores in Mississauga. In terms of smaller malls, if you shop at Sheridan Centre, you might be happy to know that a few stores are offering holiday and Boxing Day deals. One Sheridan Centre store offering deals? Payless (which is offering up to 40 per cent off from now until Dec. 26).

Dixie Outlet Mall

If you're a big Dixie Outlet Mall enthusiast, you'll be happy to know that the mall has a few Boxing Day deals on tap. The mall will open up at 8:00 a.m. and you can see the promos here. Promos include deals at Payless (up to 40 per cent off), La Vie En Rose (2 for 1 on regularly priced socks), Urban Planet, Sirens and Aldo (up to 50 per cent off).

Square One

With a ton of new stores and restaurants, Square One will be the place to be this holiday season. The list of retailers and restaurants offering promotions is here. As far as major deals go, Square One says shoppers should check out Urban Decay Cosmetics (65 per cent off select items in-store), Urban Outfitters (25 per cent off everything in-store excluding Champion, North Face, and Pagatonia), Goodlife Fitness (shoppers can join for $2 for the first two months until Dec. 31), Soia & Kyo (50 per cent off all items) and Holt Renfrew (up to 70 per cent off fall fashion and accessories).

Also, Holt Renfrew shoppers should note that these deals are also on tap:

• an additional 30 per cent off already reduced apparel and accessories
• 25 per cent off select eyewear
• up to 25 per cent off select cosmetic gift sets

The mall will open at 8:00 a.m. and remain open until 8:00 p.m.
