My 8 year old really wants to go (She heard me and older siblings talking about it last year) I would not mind taking her, she is great company but she is only 8 and I am usually out all night. I don't think she could handle the lack of sleep and it would cause problems for both of us. I might get her older sibling to bring her out to me later but we will see. If you have to take them I hope that it works out for you. I would make sure to have snacks and items to keep the occupied. A blanket to cover up items in the cart, and I would make sure the oldest was willing to be a great helper because it will be hard to shop and watch the cart with the babies too.

I picked up a few things for the stockings, thanks to the Brown Spot at Target's clearance being 50% off. I will look again when it goes to 75% off!!:)

I have been making list, setting money aside weekly and trying to figure out my budget. If I try to talk to anyone around here about BF they just roll their eyes like I'm crazy. I have been reading some of the older years post and the old ads, just for fun.

I think that may be it, I will have to check so I can quit thinking about it!!

No they weren't the fijits. The things She was looking at were much, much smaller and a whole lot cheaper. She is not interested in the fijits at all and I am thankful.

Target had some new toys out for girls. Of course I can't remember what they are called at the moment but the were small and could light up and I think they were different colors. They had some kind of video DD was watching about them. I took some cold medicine and my brain is done.

Decided to go ahead and buy the the wii fit plus with balance board for one of DD's Christmas presents. It seems like a good deal and I realized I won't have as many shoppers this year as in years past so it will be harder to get everything. Now I need a great deal on the Wii.

I've picked a few things like clothes or shoes for my older grown kids. I also have my nephew done for toys thanks to Target. I also buy stocking stuffers throughout the year. I probably do about 85% of my shopping on BF. Considering buying the Wii fit plus at Buy.com today

Target has some boxed bikes on clearance at my store you may want to check. They were about 30% off here. They were 16 inch and smaller. I saw Barbie and Spiderman ones.

Hope your CVS was at 90% too. DD went to one in NC and it was still at 75% she scanned and asked just to be sure.

Summer clearance was 90% off today. Was able to get a few items. Found an off brand bubble mower for $1.49, flipflops for .29, 25 piece bubble thing for .49 and a few other things.

I wish you hadn't told me!!:) My DD thinks they are cute (I don't) but for that price I would be willing to get her a few. She'll be thrilled to find them in her stocking if I can get them.

For those intereseted in the sing a ma jigs they are BOGO at Babies R us and Toy r Us this Labor day weekend.

Thanks for letting us know it works in store. I will try to get by there before the weekend is over.

I have not tried it, I take the ads just to be safe.

thanks I may try a few of these.

I hope everyone that predicted the Wii for under $100 or with a great gift card is right.

Noticed a lot of girls bedding on clearance this morning. Was wondering if anyone would know what day they normally do bedding for additional markdowns? TIA

Your charts are great and a really big help. Thanks for doing it!!

I have no clue yet for any of my older kids, but for DD 8 I am looking for a Wii (hoping to find a deal before BF if possible) Wonder if I should have bought the one from Amazon when it had the gift card???

Totally forgot to check the rainboots UGH!! Did get one of the generation dolls for $4.98, but nothing else left in the toys.

If you don't need them before BF I know they are cheaper then. I got DD the Barbie sscooter last year on BF for around 20 at Target. I also got a 20" bike this past Easter for under 40 at Walmart (not on sale) Good luck in your search and if I see any sales I will post.

What do want to spend per bike? What sizes?

I'll to stop on my home from work, I checked last Friday and ours were still 30%

Where and when?? I hope you are right. :)
