My son (18) is hard this year, but I asked him what he wanted and he wants a paint job for his car and new tires. I'm getting the tires, but not sure about the paint job (the tires are $107 each) My daughter (15, almost 16) didn't want a car for her birthday present. She picked a new flute, so she has a combo present for her Christmas and birthday present because the price of the flute was a bit more than what I was willing to spend for the car. My son's car was only $1300 and so was hoping to keep it in the same sort of range for her. i bought the flute 2 weeks ago and she's been playing it for a few hours a day since. She has Midstate tryouts Saturday. If she makes Midstate, I'll still buy a car :)

Our WalMart store still has some of the door buster 8" for $49.86 Online, they have a bundle with a case for $79 DVD player bundle

That's a little far--If you were closer to Mid TN somewhere--I think shipping one would be cost prohibitive

Today I picked up another (makes 3) of the portable DVD players from Walmart and the $34 HP all in one printer :) They also still had lots of the Bratz heads for $10, about 15 of the vacuum's and the Cricut machines. They had some of the pyrex still ringing up for $15 too. I actually just went in for some poster board because Dollar Tree was out of stock (this is the project time at school this year)

The Walmart in Gallatin, TN still has 5 of these, for the BF price, too--as of about 4:30 or so

Where are you? I probably have an extra snowman one.

You should have gotten the frames for $8 because the sign was still up, but they weren't on clearance. They were part of the 2 day sale for $8

OK, now that I've somewhat recovered LOL My DD (15) and I worked the Predators game at the Sommet Center TDay, so we finished there at about 11:30, stopped by On the Run (Exxon convenience store) and bought 4 hot chocolates--It was nasty, so we stopped by Mapco and bought 4 more. Then we went to BB to see a friend who'd been in line all day and take her some Hot chocolate. We gave the nasty ones (but they were still HOT) to some other people in line who looked cold. I did warn them that it wasn't very good and was too watery, but they didn't mind. I left there about 12:45 and went to WalMart. I only needed the Portable DVD players from there and the Cabbage Patch Dolls, but I went ahead and Price Matched all the Best Buy and Target DVD's that I wanted and the Life game (Monopoly was OOS by the time I thought of it at about 3:30) It was a HUGE MESS. The DVD player wasn't out of the back room until 4:30 and some rude lady in pink with an empty cart hit me with her cart!! I tried to move the cart and she got really rude, then they moved the cart that the DVD players were on to behind the photo center thing and the line disjointed and I got lost in the line. Luckily my DD is FAST and Small!! She ended up #4 or so in that line and got 8 (YES, 8 ) of them and gave the other 6 to people that were there with us since 1 who didn't get one and an older lady who was near the end of the line who she said didn't stand a chance and one to a girl about her age she says who looked frightened LOL I needed them for my nieces Christmas presents, so she did very well!! While she was doing this, I went up front to the line and waited for the registers to open. I let 2 people in front of me so that she would have time to get to me because they were adamant that they weren't giving them out until 5. The Cabbage Patches were another thing--I started looking for them when we got there at 1 because it was what I wanted for my other niece. I buy her one every year. They weren't out and they weren't a doorbuster, so I asked for them--I asked about 6 random employees, then I called the store about 3 and the manager said he'd have them brought out and he didn't realize they weren't out. At 4:45 when I went to get in line, they still weren't out. I ended up with the 2 Portable DVD players, about 20 or so movies, Dog food, cat food (I know, not BF worthy, but my cats are picky and will ONLY eat the Wal Mart Green bag) and Life. I had a prepaid Visa Debit card rebate card from AT&T that the cashier couldn't figure out how to use. The PIN pad kept popping up and she kept telling me I had to enter the PIN. After the 3rd time of her telling me this and it not working, I just hit the Cancel and proceeded as a credit (like I told her the first time) and it worked just fine. Next stop we split up. I dropped my daughter at Target and I went to Staples. I love my Staples. They let us get the tickets, then come back for the items, so I got my Memory card tickets and the BT headset tickets and went to Target where my DD had gotten the 2 fuzzy blankets and the Monopoly game, so life was good there too!! Our next stop was Chic Fil A. Breakfast time LOL Walgreen's opened at 7 and it was only about 6:30 then, so we went through the drive through and ate in Walgreen's parking lot. I got 2 of the mini digital frames for her to give to her bestest friends and some candles and some of the paper sacks for my class. Not a bad stop at all! After finishing there at 7:20, I'm a glutton for punishment, so I went back to the Walmart to see if they'd found th CPK's yet. They apparently had, but were all sold out at that point GRRRRRR. Pissed OFF. Anyway, we left without buying anything and I decided to call the other Wal mart. They were much nicer on the phone and when I asked if they still had them, they said "Yes, we have a lot left, would you like for us to hold one for you" OMG--I'm never stepping foot in the Hendersonville store again!! I declined their very kind offer, and drove to Gallatin to get the CPK. My daughter likes to pick the name for my nieces doll. We ended up with a Snowman and a tree. The tree was just cute and it's name is Harmony Grace, so my daughter wanted it for herself. They still had the $398 laptops, the Portable DVD players, the frames, the TV's and most of the other stuff that the Hendersonville store was out of, and their employees were singing Christmas Carols in the front of the store!! I found the Rubik's cube that I couldn't find at the other store too, but since it wasn't a big price drop, I wasn't worried about it and Spiderman3 with a bonus Comic book for $12 that I didn't even see in the sales papers! All in all, a great day--We made it home about 9 or so and went to sleep. I'd been up for over 27 hours at that point (23 for my DD LOL.) We woke up about 4 and just watched movies for the rest of the night. It was an interesting day!! I think I cherry picked well and was very happy that I Price Matched so much Loss Leader stuff at the first WM!!

Our Staples is awesome--they had tickets for every item that was a doorbuster and once you had a ticket, you had till 10 to come back and redeem it and pay for it. I got my tickets, and went next door to Target and came back after Target and breakfast and my stuff was still there and they only had about 4 people in each of the lines.

I have to add my Thank you's too. I picked up the BB Photo frames this morning, so I can avoid BB tomorrow and will probably just hit walgreen's and Target

I just ordered 3 of the 7 inch ones from Best Buy (2 separate orders) and one of the 9 inch ones.

Target has down alternative blankets on BF for $29.99. I bought one Down and one Alternative 2 years ago and I can't tell the difference in the heating level for blankets.

Mine came in the mail yesterday

wal mart has the titans stuff in pink, so they might have colts stuff too

I don't know about the poor economy part of the forecast, but it was FREAKING hot here, so not many people were out buying the fall clothes/stuff. It's only just turning cool here now, so maybe shopping will increase.

send it to the office

Some of these are really funny!! Thanks for the laugh, Brad!!

I just found another stocking last week that the cats had dragged under the bed LOL Usually before the 11th because that's my DD's birthday, but if it's still up, no biggie LOL

Best: Fuji S2600 a few years ago (I've upgraded to the s700 this summer--they are great cameras) Worst: Last year my MIL sent me a framed picture of herself and her husband --Nothing else, just the picture LOL

Probably walmart for me because they open first, then it depends on what else I need. Maybe Home Depot or Lowe's and then probably Target. I avoid BB on BF

You can use code 752 online for 25% off. My daughter is too old/big for most of their stuff, but I picked up all 4 of the tote bags and a pair of flip flops and a dress for $23.33. She wears a 1/3 in juniors, and I think the 18 will fit about the same in the halter dress

http://www.bcoutlet.com/Search/SearchResults.aspx?SearchHeader=coat They have a lot of women's and men's coats on clearance

Sorry, you beat me to it--I really should read the whole thread before I respond LOL

That's very strange--You can print the current coupons directly from the registry kiosk and it only prints in black and white. I wonder what they say about that?
