  1. Thank you! Makes me feel better because I just won't spend that kind of money until they are in high school.
  2. I am wondering the same thing! I have girls 9 and 11 who love Minecraft and Roblox. That's all they really want them for, and YouTube and maybe to watch movies. I was at Best Buy yesterday and a guy kept showing me the ones with the graphics card in the $800-$1300 range. I said under $300? He said with games like Minecraft it will work fine for a while but once they start building larger worlds it will get slower and slower and may eventually stop working. I told him I didn't want to spend $800 for a 9 year old who may drop the thing! He recommended a desktop as you get more for the money. But of course the kids want to be able to take them everywhere. So I'm feeling stuck:(
  3. I just read the reviews of that tv on Target's website and they are pretty bad, I'm thinking I might skip this "deal".
  4. Does anyone think Walmart will price match Target's 40" Element Tv for $119? They have different item numbers when I look them up online but the item number isn't shown on the Target ad.
  5. I would love to get 2 of the 40" tv's but my husband refuses to spend Thanksgiving day standing in line:(

    Christmas Cookies

    Mint Chocolate Chip Cookies Prep Time 25 min Total Time 40 min Servings 36 1 pouch (1 lb 1.5 oz) Betty Crocker™ sugar cookie mix 1/2 cup butter or margarine, softened 1/4-1/2 teaspoon mint extract 6-8 drops green food color 1egg 1cup creme de menthe baking chips 1cup semisweet chocolate chips 1 Heat oven to 350°F. In large bowl, stir cookie mix, butter, extract, food color and egg until soft dough forms. Stir in creme de menthe baking chips and chocolate chunks. 2 Using small cookie scoop or teaspoon, drop dough 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheet. 3 Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until set. Cool 3 minutes; remove from cookie sheet to wire rack. Serve warm or cool completely. Store tightly covered at room temperature. My kids love making these cookies but we leave out the food coloring because they seem softer without it. The peanut butter balls are always a big hit when I make them. Peanut Butter Bon Bons 2 cups peanut butter 3/4 cup butter 4 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar 3 cups crispy rice cereal 6 (1 ounce) squares semisweet chocolate, chopped In a medium saucepan, melt together the peanut butter and butter, stirring occasionally until warm and smooth. In a large bowl, stir together the confectioners' sugar and rice cereal; pour the peanut butter mixture over the cereal mixture and use your hands to blend well. Roll tablespoonfuls of the mixture into balls and chill. In the microwave or in a metal bowl over a pan of simmering water, melt chocolate chips, stirring frequently until smooth. Dip the peanut butter balls into the chocolate using a toothpick. Place onto waxed paper to set.
  7. Yeah he was gonna order one, he's a chef but definitely not a butcher!
  8. Fake because every time we tried a real ones my ornaments were too heavy and fell off. Bought it 11 years ago and it still looks the same.
  9. Most of the time we agree although my husband tries every year to make the budget smaller and smaller and limit what I buy, then when Black Friday hits he gets into the Christmas spirit and wants to buy everything lol. Last week he told my daughter she couldn't have a laptop and iPhone for Christmas because we were only spending $250 per kid. Today he's looking up laptops and AT&T to see what deals they have and raised the budget to $500 each and says the iPhone won't come out of the budget since its a small monthly payment lol. I've learned to go with the flow because eventually he sees things my way!
  10. My husband wants to make a turducken this year......should be interesting lol
  11. I've never been to a Sports Authority on Black Friday, how are the crowds? I really want the trampoline they have on sale but not going to stand in line for it. Hope it doesn't sell out by the time I get there.
  12. Just noticed sports authority has the 12' with enclosure for $169!!
  13. Definitely interested in the laptop for my 9 year old.
  14. I'll be looking for a 12'.
  15. http://m.ebay.com/itm/390963511015?nav=SEARCH My daughter wants a room makeover for Christmas. Her room is small so a bed with drawers under it will be a great space saver!
