  1. Actual fancy wedding gown or white gown? If you don't want over the top bridal try dept. stores AFTER PROM. I got two nice formals at dillards for around $30 each 90% off!! I was suprised at how much white they had!

     

    Resale, consignment or custom from a seamstress (how I got mine designed after a designer gown that's price tag was over 10K!)

     

    Also remember that things can most likely be altered to fit :)

     

    Congrats ;)

  2. I felt so bad for your little boy that I scored a second Star Wars set today just in case you wanted it! My son already opened his up and they are divided into 3 smaller boxes of 3 figures, it would cost a bit to ship and would have to be done in the 3 boxes instead of the long one but if you want it I can find out how much it would be. If not no big deal just grabbed it in case for you.

    That is SO NICE of you! Just a thought if her son is going to "play" with them maybe open them and just ship the guys to make it even cheaper? (assuming its not being kept as a collectible of course!)

     

    PP do you mind sharing what console the toy story mania was one (we bought it for ps3 and DS for full price of course, but would buy it on Wii since all my kids LOVE it)

  3. I don't shop Ebay..problem solved ;)

     

    I am another one stalking Legos so if anyone sees them marked down HOLLAR. I am not a big enough Lego fan to EVER buy them fullprice regardless of the set but I'd bring them ALL home for 75%! I told the manager that but she didn't budge LOL (I *think* ours started at 30% BTW) and my stores seemed to have TONS LEFT @ 50% (not a big Lego town I guess, also TONS of Bakugan don't think those hit like they did in other towns here either...)

  4. Can someone clarify something for me....wasn't the JOKER imaginext house on clearance??? I SWEAR I saw it at 30% but when I scanned it today it rang up full price??? Did I DREAM that??

     

    My store went 75% pretty much everything except LEGOS (50%) and the Wooden Thomas track set (50%) None of the game tables were marked down and that 10 and 1 is still 99.98!! (I had someone scan it with a handheld)

     

    I skipped on alot of stuff I had in my cart and ended up putting back I am trying really hard to not overbuy and realize my kids are pretty much outta the toy craze. Mostly I put back Legos and Littlest pet shop (my did has 10000000) It KILLED me not to buy that wooden doll bed/hairchair/bathtub I mean physically made me ILL (LOL) I also left a princess kitchen and a repunzel table set, a train table AND a little people airport (that one stung too!)

     

    Here is what I did end up getting

    Playdoh movie kit x2 ###086001218 $2.52

    Polly pockets with pool ###086020974 $6.24

    LPS custom make your own pet ###086022388 $2.97

    I also got an Imaginext big foot but he's on another receipt that I gave to my neighbor so I don't have the ### (it was for her)

     

    Sure wish I knew if legos might make 75%!! Also I passed on those Webkinz little flutter whatchamacallitz....hope I made the right decision...I really had not idea what they did...???

  5. I am so MAD I bought ornaments at 50% off and opened them alst night (red, green glass Radko ones) I am pretty sure they were USED and taken back...the glass on some of them looks filmy and on the back of one it looks burned...like it sat too close to a light on a tree (pefect shape of a light on a strand...) I am sure they are going to think I used them but my reciept shows I bought them After christmas...frustrating I hate returning things there!
  6. :eek: Made me spit out my drink when I read this! My 11 year old wears a womens size 11 and my 5 year old wears a size 4!

    I know we have little feet but its not so bad its perportionate to our frames. I am only 5'4 and around 100lbs and DD is only 48lbs....my boys I think are pretty normal though my 7yr old is in a 13 and my 12yr old is in a size 9.5.....I have to buy all my heels in a size 5 though and that can be difficult most stores start in a womans 6....

     

    I have a friend that wears a womans 11 and she can never find shoes :(

  7. My kids ended up loving those Paul Frank slipper socks. Boy, they must run small though. (I thought they were women's sizes.) I got a s/m, and it fits my 5 year old (size 12 shoe)! The l/xl size fits both my 8 and 10 year old. Must be why they didn't sell any of them. They should have had them in the kids aisle!! LOL

    WOW thanks for the heads up..my DD will be 10 in March and wears a size 12! LOL I only wear a 4-4.5 though...do you mind sharing what size your 8/10 yr olds wear so we can compare?

  8. I got a TON of stuff 75% off yesterday....one score was 4 full sized items, a puffy in a lime green shower caddy reg $30 for 7.50!! Yes I said FOUR FULL SIZED !!!

     

    I got tons of 2pk refills and starter kits for $3....Twilight woods and Secret Wonderland were about all that was left in 75% scents but they had several others in the 50% bins..I also got some of the stress relief stuff 75%...

     

    Candles were 50% Lots of giftsets were 50% (few at 75%) but mostly all the trial sized ones....

     

    Socks were $3 as well as hand soaps (very few handsoaps were 75%....)

     

    the scent bugs were 75% very few scents marked 75% at my store though :( They had pink/green/blue and the apple one)

     

    I got two of the large handle bags full of stuff for under $50!

  9. Heads up on the Wilton round package of 10 cookie cutters...I got one for 90% (reg. 9.99) and was VERY disappointed in them. They are horrible...and I expect more from the wilton brand... I honestly thought about taking them back even though I only paid 0.99 (which is 0.09/per cutter) I had to bend alot of them into shape and they are so thin I was scared they were going to actually BREAK ...I did calm down and realize if they work ONCE they are worth the 0.09. I have GOOD hand me down cookie cutters and the larger Wilton cutters with rubber on the outside so maybe I am just spoiled but if I would have paid 9.99 or even 50% off for them they would have gone back in a heartbeat!
  10. hmm, I quickly glanced there but didn't see any christmasay ones may have to investigate further.....Ornaments/Martini were they pink, if so I think I saw them in the return basket they wouldn't let me explore

    I believe they are bright blue and only come in the gown version but I still want them..they scanned 30% at my store and were tagged that...the sockmonkey red ones, the snowflake ones and the dogs in christmas hats all also scanned 30% :( All very obvious Christmasy!

  11. Those of you whose stores are at 90%, what is hte candy ringing up?

     

    Thanks!

    All the candy I got was candycanes which rang up 90% and the Lindt/Ghirardelli which rang up 75% but my favorite manger overrode them to 90% at the service desk for me :D Little does he know I woulda still taken them all for 75% :P (I got 9 bags in several different flavors) I found them all in the regular aisles and I was on the phone with my mom saying "I feel like I am Easter Egg hunting this is GREAT!"

     

    ....the outside is Christmas but I am going to take them out of the bag and stuff them in something Valentinesy for teachers gifts :D

     

    Check regular aisles for tape, my store restocked and I got some today

     

    BTW I returned things today in NM that I bought at 75% and got back what I paid...(they were the world clock/calculator/pen/pad in leather wallet in the red box stuff...I had bought 7 and didn't like them) the SECOND I returned them the manager (he works the service desk in the mornings at my store....called over another attendant so he could buy them....yep on the clock) and at 90%) BUT in his defense he ALWAYS does me right.....once when I took back a radio I got on 50% he offered to resale it to me at the current price (75% off...) I figure its a perk of having the job.

     

     

     

    Can PP post the DCPI for the Razor scooter? PLEASE!

  12. 90% off here I got the Nick and Nora PJS for me and all 3 kids for 90% in reg aisle with no red tags..!!!

     

    I also scored the Lindt and (what is the brand that does the truffles?) in regular aisle for 90% of .44 BAG! look for ornaments and gold bows. And some more Goldfish (reg aisle)

     

    Found 5 packages of the tape and the tablecloth I wanted :) Grabbed a few packs of gifttags for 0.10 and the 10 pack metal cookie cutters for 0.99...coulda went overboard but I didn't really need anything ya know?

    They are putting out the "bulk stuff" and I snagged the 3 pack of 409 for 4.99 (got all 3 my store had)

  13. 75% off at my store, not much worth wanting....AND like other stores lots on shelf regular price (DUMB!) Saran wrap, ziplocs, themed snacks. I'd beeen wanting to try the Renuzit crystals...the bag that was out for Christmas in 2 scents clearly SAYS "Holiday" and they were full priced ??? They can keep it!

     

    I walked out with 10 of those boxed, tie with a button and elastic DVD gift boxes at 0.37 and nothing else....

     

    It was strange they had aisles and aisles full of "stuff" (at least 8 aisles plus endcaps!)but nothin caught my attention

     

     

     

    AS for PP it was not her intent on taking anything and I actually had something similar happen to me halloween 2009 I walked up to the service desk and explained and said "I don't want anyone getting fired because they rang it up wrong" and they sent me home without correcting it....which is what they would have done for PP most likely. And THIS halloween they incorrectly put signs up that read 90% when it WASN"T and I made them honor it. Another woman and I had been there at least 45mins loadin our carts up before they ran over pulling down signs!!! Got the HUGE bags of dumdums for 90% because the signs were right over them.....Yeah they could have made more on them if I had left it BUT maybe not and it eventually goes 90% anyways....actually my store STILL has random Halloween things laying around...I saw cookie cutters TODAY and a full aisle full of Scarecrows and "harvest" tableware!!!
