My 10 year old son (He will be 11 in December) LOVES his. He has had them for about 6 months or so and wears them about every day. He will outgrow them soon and will need another pair. They are name brand and most cost about 65.00 on sale.

WAY to much. It is definitely a daily habit and sometimes the habit can last for hours on end.

I have been to my local Target twice lately and have not found a thing on clearance that would be for christmas. I did find a 12 pack of washclothes for 1.50. I love to shop Target and "look" for deals.

I don't recall getting snow or rain, I think a little drizzle on time. This year, I hope it doesn't rain or snow.

I hope we get the final news soon. I want to know which other stores and where - I think midnight would be good for me as I could rethink my game plan and get more shopping done.

My Wal-Mart also had those little black and white flyers out to lower BF prices. If I am not mistaken, I think they actual had one for Thanksgiving day too. I am ready for this years ad - I can't wait. Walmart is always my favorite spot.

My six year old loves this book, of course he wants to circle everything in it.

I have about 700 to 1000 lights on my tree. They are white lights. I love the white lights.

No shopping after BF - buying tree and putting it up and then lingering on the decorations. Just basically getting all stuff down out of attic and beginning to decorate for the season. If i go shopping, it is normally just locally and to get stuff for the tree/house.

My walmart will price match on BF and that is how I save time and money. I am planning on going to Walmart earlier this year so I can get all the stuff i need and then make a beeline for Target. Can't wait.

Awesome feature. I used it last year and will continue the tradition this year. Waiting for more adds to come out so I can start making my lists.

Make friends with others standing in line around you and develop a buddy system. They help you out and you help them out. Great system for me. I always end up getting what I want.

I love popcorn and buy these tins occasionally - I like the idea of letting the kids use these as storage or trash cans so I will have to get them both one this year.

I keep the small stuff in hidden in my closet and bigger stuff in the trunk of my car. This problem with the trunk of the car however is remembering that it is in there. Last year, I told me oldest to get something out of the trunk and he opened it and said, what is in all these bag? so, i immediately yelled, nothing and slammed the trunk. I need to find a better hiding place.

I tend to spend a little too much but they are my kidos and I love to spoil them rotten. I buy from "Santa" which is not wrapped and then have to have about 5 presents under the tree wrapped (pj's, movies, etc.) that are from mom and dad. So, that is why I go usually go beyond my budget.

Last year, I had to go to the local gas station to get a paper. This year, I will have the Atlanta Journal start delivering so it will be here waiting for me when I get up. I want to get my lists made early.

Sorry - crhoward - the above message is for you. I didnt know how to put your original message into my reply so I just hit cut and paste. It didn't work like I wanted it to.

Was this publicized? I ask because when I checked their website www.tangeroutlet.com the hours for 11/24/06 are listed for opening at 8AM. I am heading there this tomorrow, so I guess I'll know for sure then. I've been to their Commerce, Ga location, but not the one in Locust Grove. This one is a lot closer to where I live, so I'm looking forward to it I teach in Locust Grove at Locust Grove Elementary and I go to Tanger all the time - When I was in the Levi Outlet last week, the employee in there told me about it. She said that all stores in the outlet had a meeting and not all were participating but a MAJORITY of them are. Hope this helps.

These coupon books would be a good gift for my fifth graders. I live in Georgia and will have to check our McDonald's and Wendy's to see if they have the same offers. Thanks for the heads up.

Our Target (or the closest one to me) has a Starbucks and I love to get a frappacino everytime I shop there.

Tanger Outlet Mall (Don't know if it is a prime outlet) in Locust Grove, Georgia is also opening at midnight Thanksgiving night - officially BF at 12:01. Hooray.

ieschibar, what target did you go to? I am interested in finding out. Thanks

Don't feel guilty at all. The other shoppers have just as much advantage as you do to go out and get the deals. You go and save money. Have fun doing it.

I received my DVD's today too - I think I ordered on the first day of the post. My order was not cancelled and I received all the ones that I ordered. This was a great find. Thank you OP!!!!

I love stockings too but have a hard time deciding what to put in them. I have referred to the stocking stuffers list and it gave some good ideas.
