    Monster High Dolls

    in Deal Finder & Deal Discussion

    Posted · Edited by mstacks

    Check your WalMart stores. Last week one of the storesr me (central AR) had them anywhere from $20 up, And accessories anywhere from $10 to over $60. Oh, and don't-cha-luv WalMart's "logic": :D That same store also had more MH dolls in the HALLOWEEN COSTUME ASILE! :shock:

    OMG are you for real.

    In a word...yes. :yup:

     

    Okay, so the bomb squad happens to have a cop friend of mine working on it and he'd probably come over on his lunch hour or something to check it out before he made an actual blow-it-up trip. ;) But when you've been the victim of 5 burglarys in 2 years - and know the drugged up creeps - the thought remains true: If I can't identify the package I call the cops. :g_shrug: :)

    Gottadeal mentioned

    I meant to mention this back last week when I first heard it, but 'real life' got in the way, and I just now thought about it again. By now you may all already have heard about it, so feel free to delete if desired. :D (I ran a search but didn't find anything already posted.)

     

    I *think* it was on the Today show that I heard this guy and his mention of gottadeal as one of the best black friday sites.

    wherever it was, good publicity is good publicity! ;)

    this is the best part of this forum...or is all the great freedbies??? Anyway this is the time to start cashing in on our pointds programs for the gift cards that we will need BF this may seem early but remember that some site take 6-8 weeks to get our stuff to us. I was impressed with My Points it was less then a week to get $45 in cards.....I am sooo ready

    Were those MyPoints cards specific to a store or were they a WebCertificate? I was thinking about getting one of the WebCertificates that are good just about anywhere, because I'm not sure where I'll be shopping this year. But if I'm reading the webcertificates site correctly you have to pay for them. :eyepoppin

    Question on current desktop deal

    in Deal Finder & Deal Discussion

    What would be the minimum machine specs to handle a dual monitor set up? I'd love to have two screens available, for the tv idea above or maybe carry on an IM conversation with the grands on one screen while I search for the information we're talking about on the other screen.

    I'm counting pennies trying to stash back enough for a new computer. It's slow going and I'll need as cheeeep as possible...but ohhhh that dual monitor setup sounds gooood!

    Target Items at Goodwill

    Per the staff at our Goodwill, Target SELLS it to Goodwill. They do not donate.

    Well, personally I think that's tackey of Target. :( Aside from the good PR if word got out that they *gave* away their leftovers, I'd think they could get more bang for the buck if they donated and took a tax write-off than they could by selling the stuff to them! :rolleyes:

     

    As for "where" they send the stuff, it may be a local thing. I don't believe I've ever seen anything in most of the central AR Goodwill's and Sal.Army's I go to that were identifiably fresh Target stock. May be wrong of course. ;0

    Offers for existing customers?

    in Deal Finder & Deal Discussion

    We have Directv and saw the super deals they were offering to new subscribers. My husband call the customer service and they didn't offer us anything. Just pushed the offer where you get $50 off your bill if you recruit someone to sign up. Regular cable is still higher so we still stuck with Directv, but I was upset they didn't offer us anything to try and keep us as my husband said we may switch or cancel. She just said she was sorry if we went.

    Because in a lot of places Direct or Dish are 'the only ball game in town', neither company gives a hoot if you stay or not. They figure once they've got you hooked you'd rather take their s##t than drop them. Especially when it comes to adding things. But it didn't work with my sisterinlaw: She had Dish with two connections, in her Living Room and her sewing room. Then daughter moved in with them and they wanted an additional connection for her bedroom. Dish said sure they'd add a receiver...for $150 payable up front! She pointed out to them that their then-current promotion was offering up to 4 units free. They said that was new customers only, she already had an account so she would be charged for any changes. No offers, no deals, just "it'll cost you".

     

    Soooo...it "cost" her ten minutes of her time to talk to DIRECT-TV and arrange for 4 receivers, more programing than she had had, and several dollars LESS monthly rate! :)

     

    She said then Dish had the nerve to call and ask why she was canceling them! :D

    Walmart Beach Towels

    KitaKaT, thanks for that LandsEnd info. It haddn't occurred to me to check there. With them shipping so quickly I can actually get a couple towels here before I get desperate for them in a couple weeks! :)

     

    Oh, and I sympathize with you. The last time I saw somebody 4' at 5yrs.old, he was 6'2" at 12yr.old. He finally "topped out" a few years later: at 6'8"!!! :eyepoppin Try to buy clothes - or beach/bath towels! - for that! :tongue1: He *is* kinda handy for changing light bulbs, though! :yup::D

     

     

    Biomajor, at least your stores are seperate towns, so I can understand the price logic. But I've seen two stores in the SAME town be that different! They're only about three or four miles apart as the crow flies, but on different sides of town, one 'old established' area and one 'new fast-growing' area. Confusing in the extreme the first time I went to both the same day, but now I like it. It's just that many more bargains for me to scoop up. :)

    Ohhhh Myyyyy! I LOVE that BigAssTowels logo! :yup: But I'm trying to behave with the money, so it looks like I might have to make a trip to Sam's Club, instead. :D (Ohhhh how terrible!!!!! ;) )

     

    Thanks for the help, both of you! :)

    Could someone measure one of those towels for me, please? A lot of the WM beach towels are just plain too short to do TALL Son any good. If they're long enough I wouldn't mind an excuse to go to town, but there's no need wasting the gas otherwise. LOL!

    TIA

    WALMART Ad for 06/14/06 - 06/20/06

    in Offline Hot Deals

    Posted

    Biomajor, I gave up on getting the ads in the mail in time. Now I just subscribe to the WalMart email. They send you notices when new ads come out and link you to the ad. :)

     

    And you can always pull up any current ad from the WalMart home page. Don't remember exactly, but I think it's about half-way down on the far right side of the homepage. Says "this week's circular" or "show me this week's ad", or something similiar.
