90% at Irondequoit, NY but signage said 50%. The place was a mess and there were piles of stuff in carts. Great stuff if you have the time to dig, A lady was finding bath sets but I didn't bother. Some items are only at 70% that traditionally go to 90% like the lip smackers but the EOS balls are 90% off. Food/ candy is 70%

I've noticed in the past (when I didn't need them) that Babies r us has had their brand of diapers for around $10 give or take a few bucks. This year I have 2 new granddaughters and I think this will be my first stop if there is a deal like this. What have your experiences been as far as the quantities in store. Did they have more than enough or was the stock very limited and it's not really worth the wait in line?

Just checking to see when the card exchange sign up will start and I missed it!!! Darn I'm behind:( p well I will have to remember to start looking in September next year.

Yes they were 75% off. The Godiva pretzels were in a small box.

I just went and checked the CVS across the street and they still were at 75% There wasn't anything really great. I looked for all the things posted and no such luck:( I did find a few chocolate Items to us in the prize bags for a bridal shower I am throwing next month. Godiva pretzels, lindt chocolates, Werther candy dish assortment and boxed ribbon candy. I also got a red Hershey kiss to give my DD for Valentines day:gdinlove:

What part of Ny are you in and which store are you talking about. I am In Rochester and hit Irondequoit only today. Nothing much except the African American Barbie I hid.

I found 19 boxes of the striped Kleenex at the Chili, Ny store. The rang up INF and the young man said they were salvaged. He double checked with the manager and she said give them to me for the 90% off. I teach so these will come in handy this winter!!!!!!!!

WOW!!!!!!!! I wish they did that here in Ny state. My brothers have finished bars in their "Sports" themed man caves. This would have been an awesome christmas gift for their stock. They both entertain a lot during these sport seasons.(football/ basketball)

What was in the Dollar Tree? Or was this a joke? I can't imagine anything in there to camp out for.

Mighty beans 3 pack is ringing up $.29 again just like at Christmas. The Series 3 with blue on the front were the ones in with the Easter stuff. Series 2 and 3 are ringing .29 I know this will only last a day or so.

Same here in Rochester, Ny. The CVS across the street from me had some stuff left and they said they would manually ring it in at 75%. I really didn't see anything I wanted. I did scan my card and got a $3 off coupon for Physicans formula makeup. My daughter is into their deep pigmented eyeshadow. There were some 75% off so she got 2 for under $2.50. She saved about $22:D

Someone earlier posted about the M&M's. I went in this afternoon with that advice. I found 2 with the coupon in plain and 1 in peanut, Then I searched for the same upc code. I found 7 bags. Also scored 2 reeses bags with ghosts on the bag in with the regular.(cashier wouldn't take coupon) I had 4 large wonka and airhead bags hid and got those. Stocking candy is all set for us!! My Daughter scored some nice jewelry that rang 90% off.

How about: a vintage style soda shirt for the soda lover. A trendy travel bag or"stand out" headphones for the commuter For the older married woman something she can share with hubby (music cd's, american cookbook- diner,roadhouse, southwestern, bbq and matching fun aprons)

If she arrives after christmas take advantage of all the "Baby's first christmas" markdowns. She will be all set for next year.

I can't imagine the pain you and your children have had this year. I'm so sorry for your loss. I am happy that the children are doing well in school. Congratulations on your son's acceptance to the academy. I remember the first holidays after my Mom died. Our family is small so it is really just myself, my 2 brothers and our kids. I try every year to keep some of the magic she held so dear and make some new traditions the kids can remember. Maybe you can find 1 special photo of each child and Dad and have them put into special frames. (printing them in b&w gives them a timeless look) You may want to write a small note as to why this photo is extra special to you. If at all possible celebrate the holidays but tone it back a bit. Your husband would want that for the kids. Let your sons have the honor of things like turkey carving and tree setup. These will make new memories and will give you many "Remeber when Dad did this or that..." there will be smiles and laughter. You will catch yourself as if you shouldn't but it is ok:gdconsoling1: Hang your husbands stocking and add a special ornament for him. Surround yourselves with loving family and friends. You and your family will make it through these holidays and many more. I wish your family all the best:gdhug1:

What part of NY are you in? I checked the targets by me and they were all full price:( We have to go towards Syracuse on Sunday. Any chance your Target is near there?

WOW! Thanks so much Kim These sound great. I know DS 11 3/4 will love the new Dragon Ball raging blast. Thanks to your son for the wonderful suggestions!

The old coupons are gone but there is a link to a whole new set of coupons. Mostly boy coupons though. I printed them out just in case a sale pops up.

Thanks Kim3498! I'm looking for new and old titles. I want to do games that are a bit different from what we have for the family system and will take advantage of the "great graphics card". My boys say it is a totally different system and the games are better. They have been asking for 2 yrs. now. How about Racing games? I'll keep an eye on the Dell site.

Great! These are similar titles they already have for PS2, DS and Wii. I have been browsing Target and I haven't seen many of these "pre-teen" games there. It's either the war games or super kiddie games. They are with me when I go into the Gamestores so I can't look then. I don't want to ask my kids for any suggestions. This is going to be a total surprise. If your 12 year old has any suggestions for games please let me know. Thanks:)

Thanks for the advice!! Don't freak out on me here. :)LOL! I was just running off ideas from what has been so heavily advertised as we browse. We usually rent before we buy anyway. I was hoping that some of these rated M games have violence controls under the "options" feature of the game. That's why I threw out some title names. My brother has a PS3 and some of his games have this option. I assumed with this being a similar(but different) system it would be the same. We have a Wii and PS2 with lots of the "Family" style games you have already mentioned. No, we don't just let our kids play or do anything unsupervised. My boys get excellent grades, are well rounded kids and aren't" video zombies". This is why these forums are so great! You get all types of opinions and info. Thanks for the info about the Marvel game we will keep an eye on that.

I went to 2 stores looking for this and had no luck. I did find this for $24.xx :http://www.walmart.com/catalog/allReviews.do?product_id=11072524 I may return it though. The reviews go both ways for this. I didn't see any instructions, but I guess my brother will figure it out.

That pie sounds great! I think I am going to make that one for this potluck dinner I have to bring desert to in a few weeks.

I'm starting to think about our menu for both holidays. :holiday03I am trying to be more versatile and still keep some family favorites. I have reached the point where I am tired of the same old thing but my family isn't. I decided to sneak a new dish in every holiday. This is a suggestion I took from another GD buddy last year and my family LOVED it and even asked for it at Easter. http://busycooks.about.com/od/sidedishrecipes/r/potatoesgrand.htm Please share your menus and dishes that you have tried that were a big hit.
