Thankfully this isn't an issue anymore where we used to have Thanksgiving dinner is no longer acceptable so instead we have Thanksgiving lunch and were out last year in time for Macy's opening. If we still went elsewhere for dinner though I'd have to make do with my online shopping and whatever I could get afterwards. We even gained a shopper last year who was more than a little surprised when we didn't get back until around midnight.

I bought one at Walmart last year to replace the one we bought a year earlier....for the price we paid it was worth it considering how much we use it with 2 dogs.

Also for op, if sticking to DSLR get a decent bag. I REALLY hate the huge boxy one that comes with Canon's, I'm ok with taking camera and spare in the older black vinyl-y Canon bags but depending in preference daught may prefer something else. I brought a nice looking one on sale last BF and it only fits camera with smaller lens and maybe spare battery. The boxy one is a good sturdy bag it's just not for me. I only use it to store smaller bag with stuff in it if I'm taking a lot of stuff to hotel with me so I don't wind up throwing smaller bag about and possibly damaging spare lens.

I think we'll try for $39 one...have a couple of blurays to pick up and if we go by years past they always have tons of the electronic things at store piled

I've been sorely disappointed with Amazon's lack of organization for deals and general lack of deals. I'm grateful for free prime through BFF but it's rarely used compared to years ago when there was something on order almost every month. Last BF, may have gotten a couple of things (literally) from amazon and I think it was toys for the kids.

Interesting, what model? The guy in front of me at DesertTrip had an older model Lumix I think that took stunning pictures.

I miss the JCPenney snowglobes Ad-wise missing the Micheals B1G2Free deals, they only have a couple this year (which I'm not interested in) missing Walgreens, Macys and Hoe Depot ads from my usual suspects. Hopefully Walgreens will still have their early B1G2free toys since didn't see much interesting elsewhere.

SC trying to (and seemingly successful) one up Richard Branson Damn...seems like everyone's been through the ringer lately. We need to seriously get Dev to work on a GD get together mid next year to let everyone get their lives sorted before then. Thank you SC for starting the charts, Riven for pinning and every single one of the helpers for all their hard work.

Yay..I zipped through the local ads minus Walmart this morning. Nothing awe too inspiring and yet I have a ridiculously long list.

Found this comparison online: http://cameradecision.com/compare/Canon-EOS-Rebel-T6-vs-Nikon-D3400 I'm usually a Canon girl have to say my last purchase has really disappointed. I don't see in original post if daughter requested a DSLR. I prefer them to the smaller cameras because with my arthritis it's easier for me to manually rotate lens and hold onto bigger case. Many people prefer the power of a smaller camera and not having to lug the extra lens around. Usually the online camera stores have similar or better sales than brick and mortar stores. I think my camera came from Adorama or B&H photo, not 100% sure which. Also, keep in mind that depending where she's going DSLR camera may not be allowed because many places consider anything with detachable lens "professional". I've had to rent/borrow smaller cameras for concerts several times this year and it's for that reason I'm looking for a smaller programmable camera this year. I love my DSLR but the last concert pics I took with borrowed camera were so bad I could cry.

cool. I didn't look very hard but we usually had the charts as a sticky and I had to look pretty hard to find this today. It's been a heck of a day though so maybe user error.

I have always gotten it off. This year I got the morning off so still have to work 1-5. Realistically with shopping starting Thursday should be done before then. Think we were always done around then anyhow

stationchief are you doing these on your own this year? been MIA a bit but dont see many blurays listed. is that because ads or missing or you need help?

We've got a good bunch of apples in the GD community I think you should take them both out and just gauge the crowds before going into the melee. Having been there, there's nothing worse than being molly coddled and stopped from living because you're not 100%. Maybe send the sister into more crowded/crazy spaces to avoid any possible issues. I STILL haven't looked at ads but there's nothing worth risking your/families life or safety over. Service dogs are amazing creatures. It would be awesome if there were more funding for them as they could alleviate so much from so many.

Waiting for news on disney store. Don't know wether to get ornaments now or Wait.thought they went cheaper in Bf

amazon used to be my go to for dvd and blurays...last year was disappointing though. Maybe look at toys for the younger kids,

some of the pcs look decent. Are these offers usually available online? Are there any requirements to using the small business site?

I've been busy/MIA for a bit and expected to have lots of ads to save by now. At least I'm not totally behind

We still go out but I agree it's not as thrilling as it once was. Sales are not as great and we do pretty well with year round sales and clearance. It doesn't help that I've been so hectic around Bf the last few years either, no time to plan as in depth as we used to

Ditto. Perfectly put Dev, sort yourself and your family first and we'll be waiting for your return. We can manage, it's just not quite the same.

Hoping for free or close to free upgrades for at&t. all lines are eligible for upgrade but don't feel like paying through the teeth for it

All too well...friendly reminder: call credit card/bank before BF to avoid stops being placed on card and ridiculoua security questions

Probably looking for a new 32" decent brand tv this year. Hoping to get done on turkey day or online since it's highly unlikely I'll get bf off this year.

THANK YOU! I was surprised to find mine on the doorstep as I stopped in after a morning at the hospital to feed dogs before rushing to work. I opened as soon as I got home and brightened up what I didn't expect to be a good night. I think I'm going to let my mom have the shirt and my dad the hoodie. The stress relievers will come in handy at work, nothing like providing toys to goofballs to brighten my shift.

PM sent.
