  1. Hubby got me one for my birthday in September because my old one couldn't get stations with the new conversion. My biggest complaint is that you can't watch it in a moving car like the old kind. I wanted it only for watching sports and I want it when I'm travelling. If I'd known you can't watch it in a van,I would not have wanted it but your situation may vary. The picture is really good and picks up quite a few stations I didn't even know existed. If being able to watch it while in the car is important to you,this isn't the tv for you unfortunately. If you just want it for on the counter or some place stationary then it's very nice imo!
  2. Mine was in an envelope. There was a card with 2 different discounts (ykwim): One is save an extra 15% on everything Weds-Sat Nov. 25-28 The other is save an extra 15% on everything Nov. 19-29 I am an MVC cardholder.
  3. I love this idea too! I'm not sure I could remember to set Baby Jesus in his cradle on Christmas morning though....
  4. Sassy- you're a CVS Queen! GREAT deals and thanks so much for posting the order of transactions. I need to go this week for the Maybelline B1G1. DD is turning 14 next Weds and make-up is on her birthday list. I still have $5 ECB but was saving till BF. Gotta try and roll them within the next 2 days.
  5. Of course you don't want to throw your money away by buying cheaply made things,but there is something to be said for upgrading each year as the child/interest grows. I don't know how much fishing your son will actually do,but I got my DD4 a Barbie one at a garage sale and it lasted the whole summer (it's put away now). She's not a serious angler by any means and just has fun casting,catching,then throwing the fish back in the pond! The character ones are fine as starters for a casual fisherman,imo,so don't feel bad to get the one a little boy would like. If he turns out to really like fishing,then you will always have a good idea of what to get him for presents!
  6. Absolutely agree with everyone else who says to downplay the whole thing. Tell him that they are for other people but maybe Santa will bring those same things to him. It'll be fine,really :) We parents worry over it way more than they do!
  7. Looking at your pictures makes me want to get my stuff out! Unfortunately we are having near record heat and I'm not quite in the spirit yet. I'm listening to Christmas music in shorts and a t-shirt grrrrr. Love this time of year!
  8. Awesome finds! I sooo need to stay out of Targets for a little bit though....my candy hoard is quite substantial
  9. Glenbrook still had signs 75% off but everything except bagged candy scanned at 90%. I had a cashier from CS come over to finish checking me out about half-way thru my order,and her phone rang. It was someone wanting to know what percentage off Halloween was and she told them 75%. After she hung up,I told her that most everything was ringing up 90% off (she was surprised). So,even if you call CS and they tell you one thing,it's not necessarily true! Hehe,I saved $279.34! and spent $46xx Now I can rest lol!
  10. I had to check your location lol-sounds just like most of the folks at my closest CVS unfortunately!
  11. Very cool! I wish I had that luxury! :)
  12. I love the challenge of stocking stuffers! Small things: all the travel sized things for guys (shaving cream etc.) mini-bottles of alcohol puzzle books just about anything from the Dollar Tree lol food! Then there are always the magazines rolled up in his stocking-whatever he is into and that come with a year's subscription! For the musicians....throw in some strings,picks,reeds,sticks or whatever. Gift cards to fave restaurants,coffee places.ice cream places. How 'bout some boxers with their faves on them? I've seen them with sports or game systems on them. Slippers,tools,computer accessories (headphones,memory sticks/cards). Yeah,it always seems like men are hard to shop for but really,they are the easiest as they always appreciate amost everything!
  13. Glenbrook and Northwood still at 50% off candy and 75% off everything else. Funny thing: I scored one pack of the 30 ct. mini pretzels 75% off ($1.49) at Glenbrook but the same exact product scanned at $3.99 at Northwood. Could be why they had half an endcap full of the obviously Halloween bags. Also at Glenbrook,the mini-chewy granola bars scanned 75% off for .62 which wasn't all that great for 15 little bars. This was in the regular aisle,but they had Bakugan case sleeves cleareance priced at .99 (reg. $2.99) in case anyone is interested.
  14. Ours was 50% off Halloween yesterday at 9 a.m. So was Wags but I'll be checking both again tomorrow if not today.
  15. Me too. I have time for KMart on Thanksgiving but not on BF!
  16. Glenbrook and Northwood both went to 50% today.TONS of candy and stuff at Glenbrook. My friend who works on the floor at Northwood said there wouldn't be anything left there at 75%.
  17. Does anyone think there will be a thing left for 75-90% off? I really want some majorly cheap candy (for football team-boys will eat anything) and will be stalking from here on out..... The way it sounds,there won't be anything left!
  18. Thank you! Gonna try this one too!
  19. Love Meijer and their Santa Bucks!
  20. I'm thrilled to report that Sounds of the Season is playing Christmas music now! That's on Music Choice,channel 1832 on my FiOS line-up. Whoo hoo!
  21. Thanks! I'm, listening now-heck, Christmas is next month!
  22. I get such a warm fuzzy feeling hearing about the good things people do Makes my day to know there are fine folks out and and about-keep it up!
  23. Apparently,they will be having BF-like sales every weekend until Christmas. http://www.wane.com/dpp/before_you_buy/saving_money/doorbuster_deals_now_part_of_christmas_creep_1256817539892
  24. They are on page 30a of the TRU toy book that just came out. Looks like they are $14.99 each: Power of Air Pressure, Weird World of Water or Forces of Flight. I'd have to look at them to see if they are worth it.
  25. I forgot to mention this the other day: I got one of the Walgreen's 27 oz. water bottle and inside was a pack of tissues,a 7 day pill box,a 4ct. box of crayons all for .49. They had plenty and were clearancing them out.
