70% at Target today. But when did they go from 75% to 70%? Nothing was good like previous years. Not one string of lights, no outdoor decorations, not even any home decorations.... just tons of wrapping paper, bows, paper plates, and the ugliest ornaments. Oh well. I guess it's the sign of the times. They don't carry the nice stuff they used to, or they bring in just very limited quantities. In years past, I got Christmas dish sets, complete bedding sets, outdoor lit up trees and reindeer for my yard, stringed lights, beautiful tree skirts, fancy chair covers, table cloths, napkin rings.... real nice stuff. Did they stop carrying this stuff or is it just my store? What a bummer it has become.

Why can't your friend just write a check? Then by the time it clears, her paycheck will be in there. :)

I'm glad you decided to get the Platinum from Costco. It really is the best deal out there with all the extras you get with it. Plus, if you have any problems with it at all, Costco is so good about returns.

Yes they do! I've picked up some bath rugs in the past and even got an 8x10 on clearance once.

OMG we LOVE ours! We just got one for Christmas and I must say it is one of the best gifts ever! If you have a Costco, I highly recommend getting it there. It's $139 for the Platinum series but the great part is that it comes with the reusable filter and 60 K-Cups. The reusable filters sale from $17-20 by themselves and 60 K Cups could easily run you $30, so it really is a good deal. My favorite K-Cups are by Wolfgang Puck so far. The Hawaiian Hazelnut is TDF!

Got a sleeping bag for my son today for $6.48 (was 75% off). It's reversible... navy blue fleece on one side, sporting theme on other. This isn't the camping type, but perfect for sleepovers. It's very soft! It was on an end cap by the bedding.

OH, and I forgot to mention the Rapunzel table and chairs tower set I got for my niece for only $12.48! That was my best score!

It's not as much fun as your kids grow up... mine are kind of starting to outgrow toys. I did score the Twilight Saga 3 board game gift set for $6.48 and a B.F.C. doll for $7.48. My 9 yr old will like those. And I got my son a couple Bakugan toys. That's about it. There were tons of LPS and Polly Pocket stuff.... a couple years ago I would have gone crazy. But DD doesn't really play with those anymore.

Thank you! I need all the tips I can get since I'm a Keurig newbie! I'll have to check these sites you all are recommending. :)

Thanks for the Amazon tip! I'll have to keep an eye on that. I was shocked at how high their prices are. Hoping to score some deals soon because I refuse to spend over .50cents per cup!

We LOVE bold coffee so this is a great set for us! Plus the kids are happy about the hot cocoa. :)

From Bed Bath & Beyond, this is a great price when you use a 20% off coupon. 60 K-Cups variety pack, $23.99 after coupon. That's only .40 cents per cup. I've been shopping around since I got my Keurig for Christmas, and this is the cheapest I've seen! Great variety too. I got an instant 20% off coupon for signing up for emails. I bought mine in store, but looks like the same price is online and has free shipping! http://images.bedbathandbeyond.com/assets/product_images/230/15816215970243P.JPG http://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/product.asp?SKU=15970243&RN=2004&KSKU=106796&

Thanks for the Mighty Beanz tip. I went in today, not expecting any to be left. There were 3 packs in the regular toy section on a peg that had the $2.99 price. I grabbed em and sure enough they scanned at .29 cents! 9 new beanz for a total of .87 cents, can't beat that! My son loves those...he was one happy kid.

Make sure you scan! Signs still said 50% off but scanned at 75% this am. :) I didn't find much I wanted...the ornaments where really ugly this year and my store didn't have much home decor this year either. I did score a bunch of Soft Soap body wash for .74 each! Loaded up on white tissue paper too. They had lots of lights, but I didn't need any. There were NO light up lawn decorations either. That was disappointing. Was bummed that the 3 packs of mighty beanz in the stocking stuffer section still rang at full price.

Thanks and my apologies! You just never know on boards like this.

Not to discredit, but this person just joined and only has 1 post. Nobody else has seen 75% off. I'm guessing stores will start tomorrow based on past years.

We ordered a Wii Mario game, and it came yesterday in a box about 5 feet long and a few inches thick. When the delivery came, I thought I was going crazy and must have forgotten something I ordered because of the shape/size of the box. I pulled out tons of paper, and there in the bottom corner was my tiny little game. Don't know what they were thinking when they packaged it lol.

Definitely go down a size, especially on the knit ones. They will stretch. Uggs run big anyway.

Down to $7.99, thanks for posting! Grabbed one for my son. And to think, I almost paid $25 for this at Target the other day!

The Teacup Piggies are buy 1 get 1 half off.

OMG... you won't believe this!!! Well, maybe you will! TRU raised the Teacup Piggy prices AGAIN....they are now $16.99!!!!! Shysters!

Anyone know how much the mini lalaloopsy dolls are? They are just too cute!

Booo! That's boring... they ALWAYS have 40% off coupons. Thank you for passing on the info! :)

FYI, if you are looking to buy that Barbie Video Girl it's on sale this week at Target for $34.99 (from $49.99) AND there is a $5 off coupon in their Holiday Toy Book. So, I got it for $29.99! It's one of the only toys my 9 yr old has been asking for. I hope it's not a piece of junk... has decent reviews so we shall see! http://lh4.googleusercontent.com/public/HOEVeDqN9D5VLBLlenVh-Mlg-Lu6pTs2x_-Cq4hLH6Mpy2dVfHaQ1Fg4OFxO672nS-PFZssVoSG6tpKE6qT449ctAAk9SJwkwm6AWUs1E9RngRmy95jV0scs4gjaFbBDwXQ4T6LAlVUj=s90

We got smaller Dynex sets for our kids rooms and we love them! They have excellent reviews. Only brand I would definitely stay away from are Vizios. My sister's died after 4 yrs. They are notorious for having the picture go completely black after the warranty is up, a known problem to the company yet they won't do anything to fix it.
