lots of good ideas here.
we really appreciated a museum membership. meant we had a weekly outting and it had reciprocity when we were on the road.

anyone know if there'll be another scratch off sale soon?
-
all the last chance items are clothes for girls.

I thought this thread could be used to share opinions on various toys, so that none of us waste money on toys that just do not work.
DD loves to do crafts so I was thinking about getting (or letting grandma get) a pottery wheel. Has anyone else bought one? What is your opinion of it? I read some reviews on Amazon but they were varied and I was not impressed.
instead of buying a wheel, are there any arts centers nearby that offer classes?

i have LOW FAT brown sugar if anyone'd like to trade codes.

I am a teacher and seldom receive gifts. I received a clipboard, some pencils and a tablet one year that said teacher. I was ecstatic!! Something very simple such as a little basket of paperclips, pens, pencils, post-it notes and white-out would make me very happy. Teachers spend so much of their own money each year and small items such as those I listed help out a lot in the classroom. Some parents think that candles are nice but I am allergic and end up regifting or giving them away. Stay away from candles and scented items as many people are allergic. Gift Cards are always nice.
As a teacher, I'd 2nd this. It's a nice surprise to receive any present or card of appreciation. But, I'd also stay away from smelly things and chocolate.
(At the holidays, there's an abundance of that and some folks are allergic.)
But! small gift cards or office supplies are always nice.
(Small cause we're still grading your student's papers! Large gcs seem weird to me. Actually, I do an office/school supplies present in December and a personal present at the end-of-year.)
You'd be surprised how much teachers spend and on what. Post it notes. Reams of paper.
There are still some back to school sales now for folks who want to stock up.

what about magazine subscriptions? many are less than $25/year.
i salute you. buying for everyone takes work. i'd organize a family grabbag where everyone pulls one name and buys for one person! said goodbye to the present for everyone a few years ago and it's so much easier but still merry.

thanks for the tip--was the 40% off automatic? for charge card holders?...?

Happy feet are a happy kiddo. (My momma always said that.)
We need some happier feet! :)
Looking for a sale on little kid velcro sneakers.
I'd prefer a brick and mortar store so I know they're comfy.
And, I'd rather they be Stride Rite or another good brand that will last.
Sometimes, you get what you pay for. (Momma also said that. I say, okay, but I don't have to pay full price.
)I'd appreciate any leads.

why not ask parents to donate their copies when they're done? they may be a few weeks or a month late but they'd be free.
ladybug, and animal baby families of mags have ones that are nice...but not cheap.

No, I do my own . It's very easy if you have a vcr dvd recorder. Just play each tape and record to vcr and when vcr tape is full, burn it to a dvd.
Also totally tech challenged. :) But I'm an ace at following directions.
What exactly do you do to burn a vcr to a dvd?
Dh will be SO impressed if I do this myself. :)

thank you thank you!
now why would they go and hide the savings? it's walmart and coupons! don't they know their target consumer!? lol
-

thoughts on the least expensive place to buy flannel pajamas for m-i-l?
would tj/marshall's be least expensive?
or is there a bf sale somewhere else?
tia,

just fyi, you can't use the toysrus gc on the games transaction.
it takes 6 hours to activate the card.
that makes the game transaction more than .99c/game, even with the rebate.
i think it's a little misleading to include the gc as going toward this transaction.
but some future purchase is $10 less expensive.
-
do you know when those coupons expire?
we're planning to go but not before the fall.
-
craigslist.
-
there were two coupons. are you interested in both?

Ask an independent photographer to donate a certificate for a photo shoot?
Could also ask Michael's/craft store to donate the kits that make mugs/things with photos on them or photobook supplies.
