Boxing Day in New Zealand isn't quite the same event it is in Australia โ smaller retailer participation, but genuinely deep discounts where it does happen.
Where to look first
- Farmers and Briscoes typically run their biggest markdowns of the year
- The Warehouse clears seasonal stock hard in the days after Christmas
- Online-only deals often start a day earlier than in-store
What to skip
"Up to 70% off" signage is almost always on a small clearance rack, not the whole store โ check a few specific items you actually want before heading out.
