First in line at Babies R Us - got a ton of diapers and wipes and got the baby furniture deal that gives you the $399 lifetime crib for free. HUGE set though - only the dresser/changing table would fit in my Pathfinder - went over to Home Depot and rented a truck at 6:05am. After that second trip to Babies R Us we returned the rental truck and went to Office Depot and got one of their 7" picture frames. Then Kohls cause I needed new shoes they had on sale and the wife wanted one of their snowflake necklaces - priced $375 (yeah right), on sale for $129.99, early bird price of $99.99. Later tonight we're going to Best Buy in hopes they still have one of the Harmony 550 remotes for the father in law.

Think the free lifetime crib deal is going to be popular? (ie, line up early to get one?)

Also, I saw online at least that the Newborn in Especially for Baby is a 96ct for $16.99, but the other sizes like size 1 are 152ct for $23.69. Are both of those going to be $10? Because that's one heck of a deal on the more expensive non-newborn boxes.

Much thanks! :) Looks like I have a reason to go out on BF now then, cause with a baby on the way in June it certainly wasn't for big purchases for us like TVs and such. LOL.

We're due with our first in June and I'm looking for the best deal to try to stock up ahead of time - one less thing to worry about then. Is this sale there on all sizes? Or is there somewhere else I should be looking this BF? Any suggestions on how many boxes of which sizes I should get initally?

Did you get it for their Customer Vote deal price?

1) Retractable cord would equal more overall weight, so I'm fine without that. 2) I have overhead lights in my house, so it's all good. 3) I got lucky with my rugs, they all work out pretty well, but with it's power I could see it being a problem for some. 4) The attachments are great, the included medium-wide with the velour is nice, the power fur thing is great for stairs. Which that and one other attachment are the only difference between the "Animal" and the regular DC07... but that attachment with the agitator is worth it IMO. Got ours for $399 because Best Buy had it on sale on their website (online only) and I got Circuit City to match it in store. They're definitely worth it.

We got a Dyson animal (the ugly purple thing it is) and our two cats haven't killed it yet... they're too scared of it. Hah, in all seriousness, it tears right through everything we throw at it... absolutely love it. It's better than our previous vacuums out of the box by a long shot and if it's "never loses suction" claim holds up (we've only had it about a month) then it's the greatest thing since sliced bread IMO.

You should just stop checking your mail this time of year.

Ahh, screw them. I've heard the "reasons" and I'm still not convinced there's any good reason for them to kill free advertising. I fail to see their logic...

And a big tip for anyone with one of the Smartparts 5.6" frames... Go to their website: http://www.smartpartsproducts.com Click on OptiPix in the upper right of the website... it's software that will go through a folder of your images and copy them to a folder on your Desktop while also converting them to make sure they work for the frame. The OptiPix software is a 20.9MB download and they ask for your email address and serial number on the back of the frame before downloading... but you don't have to use your real email address, so just use a fake one there so you don't get spam email.

What one were you looking for, shopping mom? We got two of the 5.6" $69 frames at Staples. If you want one of those - which seem nice enough for good gifts... then search Ritz Camera for "Smartparts"... they sell them. They're $79.99 right now but there's a $20 off $50 for using Google checkout right now and I think it has free shipping, so it's $59.99 total. And here's the link: http://www.ritzcamera.com/product/812043131.htm

Staples. I like seeing that no one else picked that one.

I wish... I'd like one of those 1000 watt Honda Generators.

Not a lot... cheap DVDs, maybe a digital picture frame... Would like to get one of the 32" LCD TVs, but don't think that's going to happen.
