Garden Ridge has pre-lits on sale right now. Not sure on price, but they're prices are always amazing. Good luck!

Me, me, me!!! I'm so anxious, I can't even stand it!

waking up at dawn wait in line for the good deals successful, I nap :)

Yep, but having survived past TRU BF nightmares...I'll order online and pay the extra $5.

Don't know how long they'll last. Were $89.99, now $19.99!!! http://www.toysrus.com/search/index.jsp?kwCatId=&kw=pixter&origkw=pixter&f=Taxonomy/TRUS/2254197&sr=1

This is what DH and I do. PLUS one of us has eyes on the cart at all times. We've had too many close calls. Cart thieves (well...attempted car thievs) and gift thieves alike.

Well, if he likes to laugh and has an appreciation for sarcasm (and gross stuff), he might like it. So far, boys have responded really well to Vlad (my main character). Anyway, I forget I'm not here to talk books, but to talk deals. Yay, saving $$$!

It's so sad. And so, so important that we show children how important reading really is.

ALA also has a list of "Quick Picks for Reluctant Young Adult Readers": http://www.ala.org/ala/yalsa/booklistsawards/quickpicks/07qp.cfm

Wow...she really does sound like me! I never shared any of my stories. And now, I only share them with my critique partner, hubby, agent and editor.

That's what I was like! Okay..I'm still like that.

Most boys are reluctant readers. You should try DIARY OF A WIMPY KID by Greg Heffley. It's got a lot of comics in it and boys seem to be flocking to it! Or, you might want to try out some Manga on him. They don't even realize they're reading books.

http://www.barnesandnoble.com/holiday-gifts/index.asp?r=1 Just got this in my email. Some great deals there! The email said that this sale will be made public to all shoppers on November 5th. Plus...they have more than just books.

HUGE stacks of these toys on the very top shelves of the toy section here in Saint Louis. Someone on here mentioned they were doing this--I thought I'd give you all a heads-up on what I saw. Roboraptor, Disney Princess vanity, Dora vanity, Disney Princess throne, Diego Rescue Station, lots of games...and many more things I can't even recall. I'm hoping that throne is marked way down for BF. My daughter wants one so badly!

All I have left are the kids (50% done) and hubby!

With a little bit of carmel, it would make a lovely, edible hat

My DD7 got one last year under the tree--she absolutely adores it.

Ooooh, that's where I bought my dad's gift last year (thanks to this forum!). :)

We have a PS2, a Wii, and an XBox360. We play the XBox most. It rocks!

I'll be leaving the house around 4am. Hopefully it won't be freezing this year!

The thrill of the hunt is impossible to resist!

Last year I spent under $200--the deals just weren't that great. But this year I'll have $700-900 lined up, hoping for something irresistable.

Mine went through this morning for four!

Did the same thing to me!

I forgo the purse on BF, dress comfy/warm, and make sure to wear GOOD SHOES!
