  1. Well I hope it won't be long for Best Buy and Circuit City. I can't seem to get excited about the BF ads out so far. I guess either we have everything or my kids are just not into any of those things anymore
  2. I will call again tomorrow. The man I spoke with said it couldn't be a one day ad.
  3. The nearest Best Buy is 45 minutes from us. I called Wal-Mart and asked if they would be matching Best Buy ad on BF and was told they do not price match gimmick ads or one day ads. By gimmick he said like buy1/get1. He told me if it was their weekly ad then they would match the price. So now I am wondering should I even try to get them to match. Can they really do this?
  4. Well the one thing that keeps us with Blockbuster are the two free coupons. DS usually gets a game with those and at 5.99 a pop that almost pays for the membership itself.
  5. I tried to get DH to put ours up this past weekend. The temp was in the lower 70's. He didn't want to because he might get hot. He would rather do it when it is cold out so he doesn't sweat.
  6. As the kids get older the items get more expensive. So $5 and $10 here and there add up really fast. Then there is the rush you get from trying to snag that one item on the list that you know everyone else wants too. Mostly though I like it because DH and I will meet up after we are finished and go have breakfast or lunch. Talk over what all happened to us while we were out.
  7. Cookies and milk. After the kids go to bed we throw aways the cookies, but leave some crumbs. The cat manages to drink the milk out of the glass. We also get carrots for the reindeer. You know the ones that look like they have just been pulled out of the ground.
  8. The presents that are from mom and dad go under the tree as we get them. The presents from Santa go under the tree after they have gone to bed Christmas Eve. That way when they wake up they know that Santa came.
  9. I signed up for BBW emails and they are always sending me info on their sales and specials going on in the stores. I even received a printable coupon yesterday for a free Tutti Dolci Lip Gloss or C.O. Bigelow Lip product ($10 value) with any purchase. They did this last year also. DD gave some of these out at Christmas. I went in and bought a 1.00 gift bag and got the lipgloss free.
  10. Do you like Netflix? We do the Blockbuster. I am not sure what the difference is, but DH wanted Blockbuster. No haven't started on movies or music yet.
  11. We start off with our Advent wreath. At night when we do our Advent wreath we read scripture from the Bible. That is also when we start reading a Christmas story every night until Christmas. We make cookies for Santa and magic reindeer food. Put out the food and carrots for the reindeer. Cookies and milk for Santa. Go to mass on Christmas Eve. Then to my mother's. Christmas morning when the kids get up, we each do our stockings first. The cat opens his presents and since DD is older she let's her little brother open all his presents first. Then every Christmas morning we fix cinnamon twist. Then the kids will play with what that got and then go to in-laws that night for a big dinner.
  12. We have Christmas at my mom's on Christmas Eve. Christmas morning is at our house. Christmas night at the in-laws house.
  13. We wrap Santa presents in different paper also. Our kids have presents from us and then the items on their list that are the "hard" to find gifts are from Santa. Those gifts usually are the more expensive ones since mom and dad would not pay for items "that expensive."
  14. I really like chocolate fudge with pecans. DH like those Reese's trees too. I had a really hard time finding the Reese's pumpkins for Halloween.
  15. Shop more of course My shopping is never done. The list just keeps growing and growing.
  16. Thirty seems to be the regular price, I think. I am hoping to get them for at least 24.99, but 19.99 would be great!
  17. DS is the easiest. He's only 7 so he is happy with pretty much anything. My mother is the hardest. She is one of those people who buys what she wants when she needs it. Therefore that leaves nothing for us to buy her for Christmas.
  18. Well I have seen them at Target stacked on the top shelves, so I am sure they will have them on BF. Not sure what kind of price. Then TRU had them advertised in their Big Toy Book for 29.95. I am hoping to get them cheaper on BF.
  19. On my other child's (DH) Christmas list is a JVC 56" HD-ILA TV (not happening)
  20. Each year it gets harder to buy for the kids. This is what they want so far this year and I am sure they will add more. DD always has the expensive items on her list. It makes it really hard to pick. She wants.... 1) A dog (not happening) 2) A moped ( a big not happening) 3) A laptop (possible) 4) A digital camera ( she will be getting this on Thanksgiving for her bday) 5) Sims University 6) Laguna Beach Season 1 7) Abercrombie or Hollister clothing DS will be easy........ 1) Moon shoes 2) Dr. Dreadful 3) Yu-Gi-Oh gift tin 4) Any games for the GC especially Mario
  21. Well since DH counts as a kid I would get him a JVC 56" HD-ILA TV
  22. Once we put the tree up. Which is Thanksgiving weekend.
  23. I hide the kids presents in our suitcases under our bed.
  24. Non flashing, DH puts at least 15+ strands on the tree
  25. Living room, since the only thing we have in there are two oversized chairs.
