Approximately 8 of the leapster 2's at the Gravois Bluffs target in St. Louis as of 8:00 last night. $19.98 of course. They were in the regular section. Scored a Dyson (DC 20 something) floor sample reg. $549.00 marked down to $384.00 then marked with an As-Is sticker to $269.01. Top it all off with a 10% and you had a happy shopper. Oh yeah and two minute maids! All in all it was a great night.

Sorry, they have been pulled from the site. I guess they caught on. Hopefully the orders will be fullfilled.

KC-trader Bear- Thank you so much... I hope this is not to good to be true. I processed my order just minutes ago. So far so good. The confirmation email shows everything correctly. I could believe my eyes Britax for $43.

My K-Mart had a mistake last night 14 oz box of Cheerios rang @ $1.49 by themselves. They still qualified for the additional $4 off plus I had a coupon for $2 off 5 boxes. Grand total for 5 boxes of 14 oz cheerios... $1.58 with tax!!! That is about 31 1/2 cents a box!!! I figure for that price if you only ate one, you still got a good deal. The smaller box of Cheerios was still ringing at $2.49. They really screwed up.

I scored the Diego trike for 75% off today... $9.98. It rang at $0.00 so I had a floor person scan it for the last sale price. The lady said, "well it was $9.98, but we don't sell merchandise like that. They won't sell it to you!" I told her, "Oh I beg to differ" and then ran to the register before she could tip them off that I was coming. Shouldn't they be happy people are even still spending money in their stores with the economy the way it is!

Thanks everybody... I mean I spend a lot of money in there. I never leave without spending a decent amount of money. tonight was still $50.xx after coupons. I'm just glad to know it isn't just me.

I got a GREAT deal tonight. My store had Children's Advil with an As-Is sticker for $1.96 reg. $7.99. I got three and each had a $2.00 coupon. I had to fight at the register, but finally got them. They paid me $.12 to take $24 worth of medicine!!! The best part is they are good until 2011. Security practically followed me out, but whatever. I am tired of being treated like a criminal when I shop there. They act like buying things at 75% off is wrong. If it's so wrong they should do their markdowns differently. Sorry to vent, but this store really bothers me! They also had a lot of clearance food items for 50% off. Scored some good deals there too.

You will not be sorry! i have 5 pairs of regular CROCS in addition to a pair with fur, a pair of flip flops, two pairs of ballet flats, and finally a pair with a wedge heel. I love them all so much and have gotten so many of my friends on the band wagon. I can tell you I go for the real ones.. much more comfortable IMO, but the fur lined ones are knock offs. I hope you enjoy as much as I do!

The publication companies are in charge of stocking the magazines... they take them out of the stores. Individual stores have nothing to do with it.

Picked up a few great deals today all 75% off Women's dress socks 3 pairs per pack $.98 4 pack of Women's Hanes underware $1.48 Ladies boots $9.74 gaucho sleep pants $2.48 a few of the spiderman yoyo's and wallets $.25 Also grabbed some of the cute Val items I had been eyeing... Nothing much that interested me as I have a little boy and Valentine's Day is impossible to find boy things for. I know there was more, but these things stood out to me.

A lot of the Hallmark stores around me carry them in the Spring as well.

I did really well with this sale as also. I got... 2 pairs of Levi's $5.90 ea. 4 pairs of Nike windpants $3.65 ea. 2 Nike Hooded Sweatshirts $3.65 ea. 1 thomas overall set $5.90 and several t-shirts as well as a two-piece outfit Grand Total $61 and change after tax

The only time I have held something for someone was because they were at work (and so was I) and they said they couldn't get there until evening. BTW they did come through for me without a problem. I've had people do the same for me. I just try my best to "read" people by their email and use my best judgement.

Today was a pretty good day between 2 stores I found $1.98 wrap/ bow containers (11 total) which I split with my parents... They'll be perfect for my recycling too (75%) $6.22 Diego Scooter (75%) $4.xx Diego Roller Skates (75%) $2.98 rubber boot mats for the garage (50%)

The only things my wal-mart won't accept are typically B1G1 without a stated price. They do this because their price could very greatly from the competitor. I've never had probelm with any stated price (expect when Babies r Us had a misprint for a too good to be true price on Similac!)

I had a great day at Target... I found the following: 75% Lego fire rescue boat set $8.74 Wooden Thomas Train Set piece $7.48 Cars Carrying Case $3.32 2 X-mas Hot Wheels $1.24 3 pairs of toddler tennis shoes $3.74 each 1 pair toddler snowboots $3.74 3 pairs of toddler slippers $1.98 Isotoner slippers $3.24 Twin Fleece Blanket $4.98 And my best deal was the Fisher Price Easy Link system for $1.18 ($6.18 - $5.00 coupon) I figured for a $1 basically it couldn't be that bad. Does anyone have one of these/ Do they work well?

I just bought an LG front load washer and dryer in May... I love them!!! They really do use less soap and water and my towels seem to come out much softer. Also, it really saves the back when you don't have to constantly bend over into the washer.

Hello STLmom... The power wheel was in Union, MO.

I was able to score the diego jeep from Black Friday for $59.00. I had looked everywhere for one right after and there were none to be found. This must have been a return, or they found it in the back. Wal-mart.com still carries this for $120. So needless to say, I was quite happy!

I was very excited to get the Willow Tree Nativity Set for half off the day after! Those are rarely discounted either. All of our Hallmarks keep those full price year round, or until they sell out. An unexpected find for me! Maybe I will need to pay more attention to Dillards.

As a former store manager, I can tell you the policies vary by store. Technically on Hallmark issued certificates, they are usually good only on Hallmark branded merchandise. However, some stores are more lax with their policies and will allow the coupons on anything. We also used to be more relaxed with our regular customers. It is best to try it and play dumb about the policy. As far as the post about the gold crown card, by all means sign up for one. i get so much money back every year it is crazy (not as much as when I worked there though :)). It really is a good program.

Often these sales are held at the corporately owned stores, not the franchise stores. I used to be a manager for several corporate stores and this was the time of year we always had the sale. The other locations march to their own drummer.

I'm really glad this thread helped so many people. It was my first, I've been saving up for something worthy! So, you are all very welcome! Have a Happy Halloween:evil:

Madi5- I've only been checking one store in Missouri, but it is still $44.xx.

I just got back from Toys R Us and they had 70% off all of their Halloween costumes, clothing, accessories, and other odds and ends. They only had 30 % off on candy though. Since it is still days before the holiday, they had a decent selection. I did quite well for DS for next year. It also was a great way to build my sale to use my coupon from the Big Toy Book. I hope this helps someone. The girl told me they just marked down today.
