But while many are headed to the box stores, others are looking for local deals.

I'm shopping local this Christmas. Looking for Black Friday deals from Winnipeg and MB businesses. Go ahead – spam me! Photos, ads, comments all welcome. Caveat: Must be located in Manitoba. — Jodi Moskal (@MOSKALelectric) November 21, 2018
