Buckeye Shopper

Dh gave me a kindle fire (early), keurig, and ugg boots. Dd gave me a vera bradley tablet cover, and ds gave me two pandora beads. My dad gave me cash and a hobby lobby gift card. Inlaws gave me a really nice necklace. I had a wonderful Christmas, everyone was really happy with their gifts and we had a great day with family.

I didn't have any issues with my orders this year but on a side note I think their website is a nightmare. It takes forever to load, and to navigate.

Another item that goes well with earrings is an earring tree. They have some really cute ones out, and they're widely available. I've seen them at justice, jc penney, kohls, and claires.

I know it's not ideal, but I have told my daughter that I won't pay the inflated price for an item but I will get it for her when it becomes more widely available. She's almost 10, so she understands. I know for younger kids it's not an option. It helps that my dd's bday is in January so alot of the htf items are available then.

Cherry Butter Cookies 2 C. Butter, softened 2 t. Vanilla Extract 2 C. Powdered Sugar 1/4 t. Salt 4 1/2 C. Sifted All Purpose Flour 1/2-1 C. Chopped Marachino Cherries 1/2 C. Chopped Walnuts Preheat oven to 350. Mix butter, vanilla, and powdered sugar until smooth. Mix in salt, then stir in flour by hand until dough is stiff. Incorporate cherries and walnuts into dough, kneading like bread on powdered sugar surface. Roll dough into ping pong size balls, and place on cookie sheet. press down balls with a fork making a criss cross pattern. Bake 15-17 minutes or until edges start to brown. Cool on wire racks.This recipe is really versatile for any holiday. I'm thinking I might leave out the walnuts this year and add some almonds, and some almond extract.

I'm doing a few cookie platters this year for friends these are my choices so far... Peanut Butter Fudge Rolo Cookies Peanut Butter Blossom Cookies Cherry Butter Cookies 7 Layer Magic Bars No Bake Cookies Roll Out Sugar Cookies

I was at walmart yesterday and they already had cookie reduced to 29.99 at the front of the store with a clearance sign above it.

Dicks coupons do list UA excluded, but on black friday they were accepting all coupons. Last week I was in and had 60.00 of UA itemsand had a 10.00 off 50.00 coupon I asked the clerk if I could use it now because they were accepting them on bf. She took it with no problem. It never hurts to ask.

I've done alot of my toy shopping at Meijer this year. I know alot of people don't have Meijers, but their sales have been pretty decent.

I agree, I'm so disappointed with amazon this year. I have bought a video game, and a movie, that's it. So unlike previous years.

I second this, my dh gave me mine this week, he couldn't wait for Christmas. I absolutely love it. I've already downloaded a few free books, including water for elephants from the lending library which you can use with amazon prime (you get a free trial of amazon prime). It's great for going online also. I love the versatility of it.

My dd is 9, almost 10 Barbies Monster High Dolls American Girl Accessories DS Games Orbeez DVD's (Soul Surfer & Monte Carlo etc.) Kind of past animation jewelry

I see you're in Ohio, I got mine about a month ago at meijers for 30.00. I posted it in offline deals. I would watch meijers they do some really descent sales. I've ran across alot of unadvertised deals there also.

I've been a permanent resident here for a few years, not leaving now.

According to my niece, there were several fights that broke out in the back of our Kohls over HAND TOWELS, seriously hand towels. They were all arrested. That will make for an interesting story at Christmas...Oh btw...enjoy the towles I went to the big house for those things.

Crap, thought it was wireless...I'll keep looking. Thanks for pointing that out.

Hollister & Abercrombie Anyone know what these store are doing onlone? There's a pretty decent sale that ends today. I didn't know if I should go ahead and order. I received an email with what they were doing instore but not online.

I was curious of your opinions on this blu ray player. Should I buy? Good price etc.? Thanks ! http://www.walmart.com/ip/17281826?wmlspartner=RjWYtCqO0*M&sourceid=29583235964063066700

Not sure if you have a meijer, but they're giving an 80.00 giftcard with ipad purchase.

Thanks for the good advice.

I purchased an ipad 2 for dh for Christmas. I was looking for suggestions of what would be helpful to go with it. I would like to get him some type of cover, but unsure of what type to get. If you have one, please tell me what works well and what doesn't as far as accessories. Thanks!

Check shoes.com and zappos too. You can verify authorized sellers from ugg.com

I agree, their website is a nightmare.

There is an option to save your shopping bag.

I purchased a video game a few weeks ago for 59.99, and received a 15.00 gift card. It says on my recceipt that the returnable value on the receipt is 44.99. Does your receipt have this?
