So in English, when you go bargain hunting,
0

00:03
it means that you are looking for things
1
3730
2190
00:05
to buy that are on sale.

Today is Boxing Day in Canada.

00:11
Boxing Day is the day after Christmas,
4
11870
2350
00:14
and it is one of the best days to find bargains,
5
14220
5000
00:19
if you are shopping in Canada.
6
19270

00:21
Bargains are when things are on sale,
7
21140
3120
00:24
when the price is reduced.
8

00:26
People go shopping on Boxing Day because usually,
9
26720
4520
00:31
every store has sales on a lot of things in the store,
10
31240
4140
00:35
maybe 10% off, maybe 30% off.
11
35380
3410
00:38
If you're lucky, 50 or 70% off.
12
38790
3470
00:42
That's usually what I look for.
13
42260
1540
00:43
I love the sales where it is 70 or 80% off,
14
43800
4210
00:48
because Bob the Canadian is kind of a cheapskate.
15
48010
3490
00:51
That's someone who doesn't like to spend money.
16
51500
3200
00:54
So I like to go bargain hunting,
17
54700
2230
00:56
but the bargains (chuckles) have to be really, really good.
18
56930
3740
01:00
When people shop a lot, sometimes we will say,
19
60670
3840
01:04
you shop 'til you drop.
20
64510
1990
01:06
When you shop 'til you drop, it means you go out
21
66500
2970
01:09
early in the morning and you shop all day,
22
69470
3180
01:12
and you buy a lot of things.
23
72650
2280
01:14
When we say you shop 'til you drop,
24
74930
2810
01:17
you don't actually, like, fall over unconscious
25
77740
3630
01:21
because you're tired from shopping.
26
81370
2170
01:23
But it does mean a really, really long day of shopping.
27
83540
3550
01:27
I don't usually shop 'til I drop.
28
87090
3110
01:30
I'm not a really good shopper.
29
90200
1810
01:32
I actually don't like going to too many stores in a row.
30
92010
5000
01:37
I'm the kind of shopper where I like to think
31
97030
2870
01:39
of what I need, go to the store and buy it,
32
99900
2780
01:42
hopefully it's a bargain, and then go straight home.

01:45
Anyways, Bob the Canadian here,
34
105640
1490
01:47
and (chuckles) you're learning a little bit
35
107130
1170
01:48
of English with me every day.
36
108300

I hope you're having a good day.
