Note that the last shopping day before Christmas at the REAL Deal will be Friday, December 23rd.  The store will be closed over the holiday period, Sat. Dec. 24 to Tues. Jan. 3 inclusive.  Normal hours will resume Wed. Jan. 4, 2023.  Watch for a 50% off Christmas items sale in the weeks leading up to Christmas, as we would really like to move all our Christmas merchandise.  The REAL Deal operates on a mix of paid and volunteer staff, so it is important to give everyone a break during the Christmas season.  We all wish you a safe and happy holiday!
