  1. I just wanted to put this out there....I went to BB this morning and ordered my washer & dryer. The guy that was working said that they are supposed to be checking to make sure the person using the coupon is actually the person that it was mailed to/has the rewards account. He checked my drivers license to to make sure my name & address matched my account. He also would not let us double up on coupons. He may have just been a "By the book" kind of guy (or a jerk) but be carefull if you are buying a coupon off of ebay. It would really stink to pay the money and BB not let you use it!
  2. I used to go BF shopping with my dad when he would visit each year for Thanksgiving. One year I drank way too much Thanksgiving night and wound up staying up playing drinking games until 3:30 am. At 4:00 my dad came banging on my door to hurry up and get up because we had to leave immediately. I grabbed my purse and ran out the door with him. I went shopping in pajamas with ducks on them, slightly tipsy and miserable. Not my finest year!
  3. I work in a large real estate office that has a big luncheon and we do the "Secret Santa". We don't pick names, we buy a generic gift and pick numbers to see what order everyone will go in to pick & you can steal gifts from eachother. Every year, there is a group of the same cheap people that bring in broken stuff from their closet or re-gifted junk that no one wants. (We have a 15 dollar limit) I usually buy something nice - a Yankee Candle or something like that.. 2 years ago I wound up getting a broken picture frame! Last year I bought 15.00 in scratch off tickets, and holy cow...you would have thought it was gold! Everyone went CRAZY over them! The lady that ended up with them won $50....so that was cool.
  4. We get Entertainment Books for each teacher. My son has 2 teachers and my daughter in middle school has 7. To buy these books at a store they are $30...but I'm in the real estate industry and get a discount, so they are only $15 per book. I save some money & aggravation trying to figure out what to buy for 9 people I really don't know and they get a nice gift they can use through the year. The bus drivers get a box of candy....
  5. I've never ordered anything from Amazon, but I shop at Overstock frequently. I've always received things in the original packaging...I mostly order household things, not electronics...but they have always been very good. Be sure to read any feedback that has been left from people that already purchased the item you're interested. That usually helps!
