[Amazon Toy Clearance/Sale Thread]

But you can buy a $1-$2 pacifier and give or throw it away if you need to- then your Prime is only $12 a year. It's also able to be extended 18 months by doing that (21 total).

Also it doesn't have to be a "baby" item to be part of the Amazon baby section. I keep earning free months and the last month I got was for ordering 4 Leapster games (when they were $10.00 a few weeks back). There are a lot of non-baby items that renew it.

This would make an awesome "Dirty Santa" gift...lol.

[25% off total purchase @ Hollister 11/20 & 11/21 in-store and on-line]

Do Hollister codes stack and if so anyone know of a Free Shipping code for them? Have everything ready to go in my cart, but I've gotten to used to free shipping to be ok with paying $10 shipping for 5 shirts.

[Overall opinion of Black Friday ads leaked so far?]

Overall I'm the least excited about the actual "sales" than any year previously. That may be in part to a change in my shopping habits for quality over quantity though. I'm just tired of all these "fad" toys (like Zhu Zhu Pets - one example of many) that are either broken or shoved in a closet somewhere by February. This year my lists consist of things like Chemistry Sets, Klutz books, a wagon, etc. Things that are either educational or enable us to enjoy them more as a family. And those type items tend to be better deals online than in stores. However, I have been a BF shopper for many years and just knowing what a good deal vs. an ok deal is - most of the ads so far have been a bust in my opinion.

I'm just glad this thread didn't disappear before I made it to the end and found out what the heck "celery" was...I would have been up tryin to figure that one out for a while.

[** Target Black Friday Ad Posted **]

Was super excited to see the ad out - then kinda disappointed once I actually looked through it. It really didn't even seem like a usual BF ad - more like a slightly better than usual weekly ad. Found about 5 or 6 things in the ad that I would consider getting, but they are little things like the Remington Hair Straightener, a robe, etc. Target will probably be one of my stops on BF just definately not one of the high priority ones.

[Free shipping on barbie toys @ mattel up to 60% off + 20% off code]

Thank you! Was able to get the 6 doll Fashionista Set for $28.02 shipped. They are $11.99 each at TRU right now so it saved me about $45.00 - this really was a good deal. Barbies for $4.xx - that's better than the cheapest ones last year I believe.
