Just bought some inexpensive ones at Big Lots for the kids. ($1.00 & $3.00)

Thank you!!!!!!!!!!

The last one we bought only lasted a year. Has anyone found a decent quality one at a good price. Thank you!!:)

Lowes, our way, has been marking down appliances. Just got a nice deal on a refrigerator. Their prices seemed better than the others. So don't throw that coupon away just yet.

Did you check Walmart? Found the cutest black ones there for my Daughter.

Check ToysRus they are running bogo specials this week.

FYI- Did some reading and talked with some serious gamers and both said there are upgrades in hardware and software in Rockband 2 for Wii that will make it worth it to wait until just after christmas for its release.

If you plan on using it alot with tomato and acidic products go with stainless. I've seen aluminum pit.

Try and find a good installer. I know it is hard. We went to a local independent dealer and the guys he contracted with were horrible. After coming back to fix the buckling, the carpet is doing it again. We thought it was the carpeting and had our Son's friends father look at it and he said the installers didn't use a power stretcher. You could call the local Union near you and see if anyone is available/on layoff.

I had the same experience with them. I had bought a couple of shirts for my husband and of course, he didn't like them. (Late June) Shortly afterwards I had a miscarriage. Went to return them in early August with the receipt and they treated me like I had stolen them. They instisted that I specifically had to get men's shirts. I told them my husband had an issue with the quality of the shirts and was in the store for something else. Their answer was no........ So I left and so went my business and I don't hesitate to tell others.........

Congrats on Preschool! I recommend doing some research before buying them. Not long ago, they found lead in the insulated portion of the bags. I have been putting paper bags and stainless steel thermoses (they come in all sizes) in back packs this year. I think I'll buy a few more stainless insulated drink containers since a lot of the plastic drink containers (sippy cups and sport bottles) have been found to leach chemicals.

If you don't mind talking to people. I'd suggest chatting with some well known pool installers in your area. Tell them you interested in having one installed and find out why they recommend going with certain filter systems, and the pro's and con's of vinyl liners vs other finishes. Some of your choices will depend on the shape you desire. Others based on where you live. Gunite may crack more in northern climates and can be rough on young feet. Good luck

I bought mine at Sam's a couple of years ago. Good quality. If you are in a windy location, I encourage you to get one with a granite (or similar) bottom. I saw some that use water.

Check out consumer reports. You may be able to get some free info off their website or you can get a copy from your local library. I've been happy with most of their recommendations.

Check out Sam's Club. My local had one marked down to $99.00. Not sure if available on line. If they are and you are not a member I think they charge an extra 10%. Not bad considering a friend paid 249 during the Holidays.
