I still have Toy Story 3 in my cart at the GB price trying to decide if we need it, DS6 WANTS it...and its a good price right now...but will it be cheaper before Christmas?? HMMM I am TRYING to get better about getting them things for NO REASON And his bday was Aug 31st

Oh and Boys swimtrunks went 75% I got some for 2.48 SOME girls swimsuits went 75% but most were still marked 50% (markdown team was in mens and womans so girls might be marked down later??)

School supplies still 30% except for backpacks and book covers which went 50%. Sony E-reader was still 50% at my store this morning but they had them all OUT OF THE CASE in a BUGGY so maybe they are getting a markdown? I hope they are not getting salvaged. I have a Kindle but might pick up a E-reader for DS12 if I can grab one 75% off, I ALMOST grabbed it today at 7x.xx just because I am inpatient! LOTS of clothing markdowns today. Got the pullon Circo shorts and tanks in GIRLS for 0.87!!! They will be GREAT for jammies and Gym Clothes! 0.87 is like disposable clothing! I also scored some oak saddleseat barstools that were an internet return 2 for $34.xx (reg.109.99!!!!!!!!)

Target was ramsaked of Monster High dolls AGAIN not even a 2pack on the shelf...! I did however see something new by the Zoobles that was Fish...I cannot for the life of me think of the name of them but they looked interesting (had aquariums and such with them)

Pool toys and BTS 30% today..grills and outdoors still marked 30% off too!

My kids are NOT into pillow pets, maybe its because our house is entirely themed including their rooms and it has been branded into them that they should look catelog perfect I don't know..DD said they were kinda cool during a commercial but didn't want one. My kids luckily don't watch much TV therefore not much advertising. DS6 said "those look hot, I like my pillow cold" LOL Here is her opinion on Squinkies: The rubber is flexable therefor the detail in the things are not crisp or clear. They are SMALL. I'd easily say they are about 1/4 of the size of a LPS or maybe even smaller. DD got the "princess" set which makes a charm bracelet outta them. The peices in our opinion are at best quarter machine stuff. The plastic is flexible and has a "hole" where you add it to the charm. She threw all the "bubbles" away right off the bat and didn't even realize you might want to keep them. The peices are sometimes even hard to tell what they are supposed to be..like the crown its really bulky to add for the charm capibilites..she HATED them so maybe this is just the charm version that was so bad or are they all "charms?" I haven't not looked for them in stores because she didn't like the first set. Maybe it was just the set or the CHARMS that she got??? I have not seen any of them since the day she opened them (the zoobles go to school with her everyday) I expected them to be bigger and of better detail and more similar to LPS. The "bubble was about the size of a quarter if that helps. Zoobles are a cross between littlest pet shops and Bakagun for boys. I actually played for almost 10 minutes SOLID with one little bunny Zooble. Making it into a ball and then putting it onto its Stnad to pop back out....it was rather fun and they are CUTE. So far the TWO DD has have been played with ALOT and seem WAY better made then Bakagun IMO. We throw them around alot and we haven't broken one yet.

I have only seen Monster High at Target so far (HTH)

Browsed my walmart as they had a team of people clearning out toys today we now have FOUR aisles of clearance toys and the new things have started to arrive...My boys LOVE those new dumb cardboard guitars so I thought I'd mention those here.. I grabbed the 5-pack Zoobles to put up just because its a great deal for $12/5pack

What about Monster high dolls? DD discovered them through her Justice Mag and likes them....and the target near me put them out and they are RANSACKED already! None of the single dolls left just the doubles!! I didn't predict that one being so popular!

My daughter has gotten both Squinkies and Zoobles and hated the Squinkies and LOVED LOVED LOVED th Zoobles...my reaction to both new toys was the same the Zoobles are cute

I DID find some "new yellow dot" on the shelf though so buyer beware...WATCH the items at checkout, I nearly bought 10 packs of pencils at $1.00 that I didn't really need because I thought they were part of the 0.10 yellow dot (some color yellow...just warning for those still scouting for yellow dot items) AND the "snotty woman" said they were supposed to be pulled as salvage SUNDAY...

I got yellow dot items today 90% off too..ringing up INF..asked once person who was very snotty and told me NO and tried to grab all the stuff I had saying it was supposed to be taken off the shelf..she literally tried to GRAB MY CART!! I told her that I'd ask at the customer service desk, TYVM and if they said it was not to be sold I'd but it back where it came from because it was not my job to clear their salvage items for them...I scored 30+ items at 0.10 after the young girl at the customer service desk called the manager...he said "they are alot easier to just sell then salvage..." I also got a young guy to ring up some INF toys in Lubbock,TX the other day (legos too..) for the 75% and scored the ice tea makers in Midland,TX for 1.99 each after they rang up INF with a male manager of electronics.. The men seem more likely to not fight you for some reason...or younger cashiers.

I have returned things to the store no questions asked from online, just have your receipt ready...Kohls return customer service is the BEST I've ever encountered...no questions asked !

I think for me its just the mail catelog is easier to look through...without having to click to zoom ect, I do look online but often find more things when I recieve an actual catelog. It has nothing to do with your actual site. I think that LTD actually has a very user friendly and very well set up website.....

DD pulled out her zhuzhu pets for the first time since Christmas TODAY and played with them for at least 2hrs so I don't know...she mentioned she needed more "cars" because she only has 1 car and multiple hamsters

We got our first Zooble and Squinkes this weekend....and the vote is Zoobles YES YES YES even I will admit these things are CUTE! But NO NO NO for the Squinkies, cheap, not very detailed and overall waste of her money (this comes from a 9yr old very imagenative play type girl)

I got 4 packages of Mighty beans for 2.xx Legos set for 75% !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was jumping up and down.. it scanned INF but the cutie I found at the service desk adjusted it no problems it was the Space Police~ Space truck getaway. It was only marked 50% at $15.xx (regular $30.xx) but he adjusted it manually to 7.xx. I got the little handheld bubble blower guns for 0.74 (got 4) a sand filled dolphin for DD 0.64 and a sand bucket kit with toys and shovel/rake for 2.xx) I could have gotten tons of supersoakers or big bubble blowers for 2-3$ but I passed. I got some pool chemicals 30% but the pool "toys" were not marked down yet. I was outta town so this was the "lubbock, tx" store.

I forgot to post but last week (was it just last week?? LOL) My walgreens ran out of the advertised mechanical pencils so they subsituted BIC pencils for me! I was THRILLED since this is the normal brand we use and the regular price was MORE than the ones advertised...SO moral is if they are out of something ASK if they are subsituting anything WTG WALGREENS!

Well honestly I avoid tax-free weekend like the plague. The malls/stores are always INSANE. We actually have the chance to do BOTH New Mexico and Texas tax-free weekends. Honestly I would never go to an advertised "sale" that was 7.25% off everything...BUT I do realize that the real savings is in the additional sales they usually combine..I shop alone with 3 kids and its just not worth the madness to me...maybe everywhere is not as insane? Just order everything from Amazon, they don't charge me tax

Yeah I know they are restetting and it'll be back but what if I wanted to buy a leapster THAT day Most of our aisles were empty but the leapfrog was what I noticed!

I put an order in from the Christmas catelog Saturday night. I bought my very first Christmas 2010 present. I got DD the "Jacob" New Moon Fleece throw. I have a feeling I am going to get really sick of seeing that thing before it falls apart ::) And I was pretty positive that particular one of the 3 offered was probally going to sell out QUICK!

They also had Hannah Montana for didj for 7.50 (75%) Weird thing is they no longer have a leapfrog aisle? I know they are resetting but I am not kidding not ONE leapster/leapster game/ tag/ tag book/ ect ANYWHERE...I only saw the clearanced Didj charger/clearanced ONE didj game and Bakugan Clearance Tag book (they had 15 or so of these) and ONE Tag Jr. clearanced book....no other leapfrog items anywhere..we usually have one whole side of an aisle !!! I walked toys 15 times thinking I was missing it but its NOT THERE!! Made me BATTY

Haven't heard this one mentioned so I thought I'd post Today I found a DIDJ recharging station 75% Was only redtagged at 30% (now I am hoping this is not the one that was recalled for starting FIRES?!?!) Wouldn't it alert at registar when I tried to checkout? ANYWAYS it was a KILLER find and made my target trip worth it even though thats the only toy I picked up

OK thanks, My mom thought maybe it was out towards firewheel for some reason.. Maybe in MArch is WAS the Preston Rd. one. I don't know but I LIKE the 2-story kohls! We spent 3 HOURS in that place last week!

I wish I had an ON I wear camis DAILY My basic colors are really needing replaced. Luckily I wear the XS an they seem to end up on the deap clearance racks but I don't think I've EVER gotten them for $2!!
