I have soooooo much catching up to do! This fall has been the busiest of my life, but I'm starting to get things together and settle in for the holidays (aka Black Friday Season). Glad to see everyone here again!

Leading up to BF, or maybe it was in the weekends after BF (pretty sure before) WalMart had one of their huge online sales. I hate scrolling through their 98 pages of online deals, but since we knew we were looking for a bike, we found that one and ordered it online and had it without the BF crowd; really for essentially the same deal on BF anywhere. It's not usually a character bike, but we bought stickers and a personalized mini license plate to spruce it up.

Definitely getting excited! Sent from my SM-G930V using GottaDEAL mobile app

I thought of you when I was looking at these yesterday. Wondered if you'd pulled the trigger, yet.

That is insanely late!!! I've had them come around 9pm before. I'm usually on full watch of my expected packages from UPS so I know when they are supposed to be here on a particular day and just watch out for them.

And my recent experience: I bought $160 in merchandise. Used $130 in KC, then 20% off coupon, then some in Gift Card and the rest on Credit Card. Decided to return one item and got back the portion (prorated) back on CC, and the rest back in KC, which is good for the next month, not expiring this weekend.

I had a 40% too. Didn't spend nearly that much, but made it worth my while.

There were definitely sales during BF week and I think they were $74.99. I'm not sure you'll see that same deal again, but it's certainly possible as we get closer to the holidays. I highly encourage the Fire TV over the Stick if you have a wired connection available.

Well, it's one thing for the retailer to send you the wrong/extra products, and another for the delivery service to drop it off at the wrong address. One case is entirely the retailer's fault and the shipping snafu is caused by 3rd party and you'll want to make sure the person expecting that package gets what they should.

Just go to tvfool.com (specifically http://www.tvfool.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=13&Itemid=1)and enter your address information. It tells you which OTA stations you'd be able to get, the direction you'll receive them from (if they are all generally from one direction, things get easier) and how far away they are. From there, you can determine the type of antenna you need (unidirectional, bidirectional, etc.) and the range you'll need to generally get those stations. Len helped me out doing this last year around this time and I've lowered my "cable" bill from $128 down to $30 by getting rid of cable from the cable company. It was funny when they asked me which channels I usually watch and they said we can get you a basic package with these and bring your cost to $105. Lol. Thanks for the hefty price reduction there (after having cut my channel list by 60%). Really trying to keep me as a customer, huh?

She's busy and has 2 kids of her own, a job, volunteer coaching, and PTA with the school. Still...it's a little frustrating. I'll still make the best of it!

And....now also $15 in Y2U rewards to use, too.

DD wants a guitar pick. She is 6. She owns a low-end hello kitty basic guitar. She picks it up and plays it for 5 minutes every 2 weeks. No one else we know plays the guitar. ...I have no idea

Have $115 to spend from various $50 orders and courtesy $5 KC from cancelled in-store pickup orders. DW and I are taking the kids separately to pick out something for their sibling and other parent. Also now need a few other things that have since snuck on family's lists. Also have $50 in gift cards still, in case we exceed the allotted KC.

I think this was Kohls' first year doing such big doorbusters online. I wonder if this will deter them from next year. It happens at all the retailers; just usually WM & BestBuy have such an enormous stock, it's much less likely to happen on those sites. Kohls obviously isn't known for their electronics, but have delved into that realm recently in the past few years. It's really difficult to bank on that big DB actually getting to you until you've seen it shipped.

I had no idea there was even discussion happening on FB. That's crazy.

Lol. Apparently, so. I figured it would be close, though!

Thanks Brad; and everyone. Like I've said, it's lots of fun discussing things with everyone here. Well, I may not have the most entries. He just put the # of entries for the winners. Brad, Kanyon is asking to see the members with the top 10 most entries and how many entries they had. I'm curious, too!!

...So I've been noticing.

Well, I might as well lean on some of you with expertise here.. 1. Are XBox 360 games compatible with XBox One console (not XBox One S)? 2. I'm in search of a good hunting game (I didn't really get much more than that...so maybe just general hunting) that will be compatible with XBox One. Open to all suggestions! 2a. And experience with the ones that come with the gun/rifle? Are they good to have the gun? Do those require the Kinect (not sure if he has one of those)?

Sister finally gets back to me with (for her kids): - NFL bedding - iTunes Cards - iPod 6 Case (is there seriously an iPod 6???? maybe it's 6th generation? way to send the biggest non-apple advocate to buy your son an iPod case) - XBox game - Ninja Turtles action figures *@^$&@#&*!*&!! There was sales/discounts on pretty much all of these items during BF week!! So, now I scour for deals for the next 3 weeks and potentially pay shipping to get it to her if I have to buy it (*gasp*) in-store (that almost gave me a heart attack to even type it).

Oh, the big hammer would fix that alright....

The one thing I can see would gain for you is the fact that when someone who hasn't done their homework/research just goes to a random thread (e.g. Target) and starts a thread called "Does WalMart price match on BF?", then you won't have to move it to the correct subforum and merge with the existing thread (that's been talking about WM PM for 2.5 weeks) and then have to answer questions from OP like "Does anyone know why my post keeps moving?"

Another thing... When I haven't been on for a day and there's 100 unread posts in 55 threads (across 10 subforums) that I can easily read through a few of the subforums at a time and get caught back up and when I don't want to read through each thread I can mark the rest of that subforum as "read", and it won't mark all 55 threads from the other subforums. Where, if they were all one, I'd lose that ability.

1000% agree. I do have Twitter and FB accounts, but don't post, follow, or like anything. I just use it for coupons and discounts and promotions. It's fun chatting/discussing with people on here things I actually care about vs. what color socks someone is wearing today, or whether they put the left or right one on first...
