For Boxing Day, we are revisiting some of our favourite recent stories about the shopping experience. First we head to Calgary's Northland Village Mall — which is now closed — to hear from a restaurant owner-operator about what it means to be on death row in a dead mall.

We also explain the new trend of "buy now, pay later" online — and how it's actually not so new.

Plus do you wish you could get a new set of treats for your pet pig mailed to you every month? Or maybe you just really love getting new cereal on a regular basis? We explain subscription boxes.
