Checking in for May. No idea if i have already or not.
Our internet has been down for almost 2 weeks
and the fingerpointing is no help.
EarthlinkSucks
Glad for cell iPads $$
Happy Memorial day to all and Thank You Veterans
I FEEL this one in my bones. Comcast has been a hot mess since they claimed a router change was needed a couple years ago now. Consistently disconnecting etc, making us go over AT&T data almost monthly and resulting in SUPER slooooooooow service, making streaming to avoid the extra $10 box fee ridiculous and making long distance sketchy with no idea if internet will pick up to give me driving directions. I'm starting to wonder if it's our older extenders but also so overwhelmed with life that trying to find suitable replacements is not really happening. ALSO....I think they sent another equipment upgrade email a while ago, where this could be months to going on a year. Plus looking at bills, they're back up to $254. Starting to wonder if it's time to cut them off but then my mom watches and records all her food network shows etc so I'd feel bad.

May is starting off badly
Pup doesn't have many days left and I'm dreading having to make the decision. I don't want her to suffer but also don't want to do it too soon.

Thanks again @Brad! Long recap below if anyone cares to read.
To begin with, my bff thought I was entering the contest. Then went through all the things: shock, scam, disbelief, etc. The tracking got iffy after it was received by carrier and I was questioning if it had been disappeared until it reappeared locally day before delivery-- a day earlier than expected. I was able to get the controller charger on sale at Target but the controllers were harder. I stalked the BJs website for days until first a failed instore pickup order and then a couple orders for delivery ONLY to find out it takes a max of 4 so scrambled to find another. Bff started today with their smaller gifts until I arrived just before 9am. Then she reminded them they'd missed stockings. They got ps5 games but don't own a ps ANYTHING so were between Moms an idiot (younger) or we're getting one in the New Year (Older). I let them settle down and come back together and told them to open their gift. Older boy kinda drags box. This is heavy, I can't pick it up. Younger one starts ripping paper and isn't reading at all just making stuff up. Older one sees box but swears it's a hoax so I hand them the other bag with the accessories. And the ball drops, and they allow themselves to get excited as they open the controllers and charger and stand and THEN I get extra hugs before they..... have to call their friends to boast
Apparently they were just discussing last night how they'd never get a PS5. At some point bff's mom calls and they tell her and so now I'm the "best godmother" so there's that too.

Any luck with these? Aside from a slight panic after ps5 shipped and wasn't scanned until local, so far so good. Just last minute ordered a stand since everything's been hectic and not sure if bff has ordered one-- but it's Amazon and says 22nd
-
In my mind this was last weekend (up until right now), I was just assuming a continuation of mostly non deal flash sales

Not seeing anything

BJs membership required but hard to beat 50% off and currently STILL showing available for shipping.

Just wanted to say all the pictures bring a little joy and a smile to my face. I thought about joining this year but knew life would be too hectic to put the care I would've liked into my SS gift. So happy to see the tradition carrying on!

Bff is in shock since they've been begging for it forever
She's told me I'm not allowed to spend another penny on them which I think is unfair since technically I haven't except for the controller charging station I picked up at Target yesterday I do what I want.....

Happy December!!
I managed to get Covid over Thanksgiving, but didn't realize I was positive until Saturday night. It's been kicking my butt, but I think I've finally found a combination of things that might help me knock some of the symptoms down a notch. Miraculously, none of my family members seem to have caught it from me. This is by far the nastiest virus I have ever dealt with.
Most of my shopping is done, but I'm still waiting on two people to tell me what they want for Christmas. grrrrrrrrr
Same here, hopefully your version isn't awful. Sister in Law spread it to everyone and I was the last to truly feel it, didn't really succumb till Monday night. I DID learn today that the post office started the free tests again in September I think (ordered eight ) AND they'd extended expiration dates for older tests (not sure how that works) so most of ours are still good. I guess it pays not to keep up with exp dates or we'd have trashed them all
It's my third go around and possibly my least favorite, I learned about Covid tongue yesterday after originally blaming the pain on stress/ auto immune issues. Fun times not being able to exist, eat or drink without feeling like portions of my tongue are on fire. Pharmacist bff said Covid attacks nerves and B Complex should help, we'll see. I feel like yesterday's may have dulled/ lessened the pain/ annoyance some but I could also just be tired of it and ignoring it.
Otherwise my nasal rinse bottle keep me breathing/ semi comfortable until someone dumps my pot of water and forces me to boil more and have to wait for it to cool. A friend did suggest Simply Saline as an over the counter quick solution so I've got some on order too

You know what I miss.... the freebies/ next to freebies at Walgreens/CVS. Ever since they transitioned away from paper ads their sales have pretty much disappeared. Maybe I'm not about searching through the ridiculous new format but just tried and saw nothing worthwhile. I'm gonna need scuncii elastics and clips soon

@Gator Pam Saw these earlier and remembered your comment, not sure if this is a standard/make believe discount:

Good question, I half expect the answer to be stock gets dumped to warehouse and sold at regular price (if unable to return to manufacturer) since I think stores are ordering less every year. I too have cut back drastically due to a mix of don't need much but also not willing to pay higher prices for worse quality. At this rate I'll probably NEED (i.e. current 10+ yo bag will cease to function/get a hole) a new carry on suitcase before I find one I like enough to spend the cash on.
Picked up a few pieces at Kohl's (mostly blankets for gifts) and Walmart (vinyl, sneakers and a mattress cover) and my mom will pop over to Home Depot BF while I stay home monitoring the pup. Checking out ads again today to see if I missed anything but not expecting to be ordering anything else except for Disney ornaments and even then I'm cautious, the last order I placed during a great sale was more than half cancelled due to items being out of stock about 2 weeks later.

I took the Kohls throw koolaid last year and.......they're so much bigger, softer and warmer than any of my previous ones. It's kinda a double whammy but love the Disney designs. SO this year I got some more and a few as gifts. Usually do the "free" batteries at office shop, poinsettia's at Home Depot or Lowe's and a gel mattress topper and sheets but toppers seem $$$ this year and sheet sets seem to be harder to come by for thick mattresses.
Music vinyls got added to the recurring list last year but I WAY overbought

There's usually some entitled so and so who argues that for whatever stupid reason they deserve the last whatever when half the time they weren't even present when it was available at all.

2024 Retail Industry Discussion Thread
in Black Friday 2024
Posted
I don't think we've lost any Macy's locally but I know Joann's is always dead on the off chance I drop in to collect sale stuff ordered online. I'm probably cheap (by most standards) AND spoiled by sales of yesteryear WITH the tendency to overbuy when I see good deals but prices most places are outrageous to me and the quality has gone down too. I've never cared for labels so I'm usually looking for good quality, functional items and the lowest price available and lately my recent clothing purchases have been mostly sportswear type stuff from BJ's clearance. The air fryer we bought at Walmart preBF sale has been a lifesaver and worked amazingly (I remember struggling to decide between that cheaper one, an Emeril and something from Kohls all with several sketchy reviews). At this point I'm just grateful not to NEED much because everything is off the chain.
Hell, fast food isn't even worth the stop unless you have an app with decent offers and even then today I heard some have ridiculous terms that limit liability. The way I look at it, I use it rarely enough that it doesn't really matter but earlier someone brought up the coffee scalding thing wouldn't have been covered. Worst I've had is the wrong food or cancelled order and I just demanded refund to original payment.
I'm still trying to figure out how we're supposed to get ahead paying the suggested prices on everything with current wages and the cost of gas, food and rent increasing. Where/how/when did everything go haywire?
