  3. Keep an eye on Office Depot. I know someone who got a great deal on a Toshiba there. (been a while though....like before school started, so I don't know what kind of deals they have now)

    I just received the details on my brother's recent purchase ($475+tax) at Office Depot, (YMMV), and I see now that this wouldn't meet angelic680's new specs, but as a point of reference...

  4. davephillyj...FWIW...I've had my Toshiba D-VR5SU VCR & DVD Video Recorder for almost 2 years now, & it has seen a great deal of use with both formats. It was a great deal at under $200 then......Maybe check out the Toshiba line now, and or check out Consumers ratings....

    If you only need DVD/VCR 'play'.....I have to agree with freesia and your own conclusion that the cheaper ones are just that....another 'nearly-disposable' consumable!!!!

  5. I have a "Seal-a Meal" dealy from Rival for extra-long term frozen goods (expensive up front, & bags/rolls pricey)...Haven't heard of the 'Green Bags', but am planning on checking out the new mini-vac sealer (small hand-held, with re-sealable bags) made by Glad I think....Looks like a good idea, & could be a good alternative for shorter term....Anyone know more about these too?? TIA
  6. My JCP (instore) had them on sale last week, and many were also eligible for the big additional 40% off already reduced price!!! GREAT Deals...!!!

  7. Here ya go....FWIW...try..CRED50P....1-16 thru 1-19 for15%

  10. I agree with spending more for a better chair! I work at home and have bought several chairs in the last year when they were on sale trying to save some money and keep going back to my old one- btw, if you are going to use it a lot I have discovered not to get "manager's chairs"- they must be made for managers that dont do a lot of work! Very uncomfortable if you are actually typing/working a lot! :)

    That's a good one, rachealb ....How true!!!......:D

  11. Walmart has 32 inch Vizio on sale for under $500 today and other good buys. I'm just looking for a smaller size for bedroom.

    Again, I'm with the Marcster.....Depending on where you'll be placing it, (viewing distance), keep in mind that not all programming is in HD yet, and when the signal switches back to digital, the aspect ratio reverts to "Pillar Box" format, thus reducing the image size....For example...I replaced my 36" conventional with the 42" Olevia, (Great set/Value).....When the major network news in HD is on, full screen...When they cut to local news/weather snippit...it converts to pillar box, reducing image size, essentially giving me a 32" picture.....If you change the format to "Stretch", then the non-HD image is out of proportion...

     

    Just something to keep in mind FWIW......:)

  12. Walmart is a serious Your Mileage May Vary kinda place for clearance! They do it at the individual store level, and ours is HORRIBLE! That is putting it nicely. They had the same stuff in the clearance section for 2 full months without making any major markdowns. they just left it there taking up space. They apparently get a budget for their markdowns, and they can only do so much per period. It is allocated from above, but they have to do it manually at the local level. We almost never get good deals. Those Legos you mentioned would never go below 25% off. They'd just sit on the shelf until someone paid that price.

     

    Same here, I've been in 2 different Walmarts this week, Totally inconsistent on markdowns...& the same junk in the clearance aisle(s). Picked up a Spiderman 'wall-graffix' at one store for $1.00......Saw the same thing today at different store marked down to $7.00 !!??!! :confused:
