Thanks! Picked up one for my son.

I got the TV. This helps to make up for TRU! Now I am getting ready to go out for all the little things with no stress. Happy shopping everyone!

Me too, Katie's mommy. I ended up with nothing from TRU.

Now it kicked me out of checkout and two of my prices went up!! They need to get their act together!

Camera changed, but it says limited inventory!

I need the pink vivitar camera for my daughter. Everything else I have in my cart the price has changed, but not this one. I feel like screaming, but I don't want to wake everyone up!!!

This is the second Christmas that we will be without my Daddy. He was killed tragically in a motor vehicle accident in June 08 at the age of 58. He had never been really sick a day in his life. So far this year has been worst than last year. I think we were still in shock last year. My kids seem to be having a harder time this year too. I try to stay upbeat for the kids and my mom, but sometimes it is so hard. I feel like it would be so easy to fall in a deep depression, but so far I am fighting it. My mom is doing better than I expected. This year she decided to replace all her decorations and do something totally different. I encourage her to do anything that will help her feel better. I am trying to be especially thankful for all the blessings in my life and think positive thoughts and not dwell on the negative. I hope something I said will help. I know it is hard and every situation is different. I focus on God and scripture (Romans 8:28 really seems to help me). I hope you have a great Christmas! :)

I am looking for a 32 or 37 inch TV. I don't want a piece of junk, but am not really picky about brand names. I have three kids to by for and this is basically me and DH's present. Does anyone have any suggestions? I was hoping to stay in the $300 range (is that possible???) Thanks for any help :)

Got it, thanks. My son has wanted this for over a year. I finally took the plunge! He will be one happy little boy come Christmas morning!!!:)

Thanks for the great ideas!! Can someone please share some recipes for the jars (hot chocolate, cookies, etc.)? I usually buy the teachers stuff from BB&W, but this year two of the teachers don't really like smelly stuff.

I have cried reading this thread. My Daddy died suddenly in a truck crash on June 26 of this year. I talked to him on the phone 5 hours before the wreck and he was so happy. We were planning our family vacation for the summer. He was 58 and in great health. I am dreading this holiday season because of this. I have to be strong for my Mom and kids, so I hold a lot of my emotion in. Thank you for the ornament idea. I want to do something special to help my kids. They are all old enough to know what is going on, but not old enough to really understand. I am planning to remember the good times and think about how strong he was and the fact that he would want us to go on and be happy. I hope everyone else has a good holiday :)!

Hey all you fellow deal seekers!! My name is Jaime and I am from NC. I am happily married to my wonderful husband and have 3 kids, ages 7, 5, and 4. Looking for Black Friday deals is what led me to this site a few years ago. I mostly lurk, but the excitement of Black Friday is bringing me out of lurkdom!! Bring on the deals!!!:)

I am so jealous. Cruising is the only thing more exciting than shopping!!!! I will be in Asheboro, NC and if the ads are good I will go to Greensboro, NC.
