Keep it coming raider thanks that Combo is just what my Grandparents want for Christmas so I will be getting one of those.

I bought my Pre lit tree at Big Lots two years ago. It was only 20.00 and I love it. NO needles no lights to untangle just pull it out the box and stand it up. Last year Walmart had a 7' prelit tree for 39.99. I'm sure they will have it again this year they usually have it every year.

I PM every year at WM and have never had any problems with it. I'm sure they will keep PMing on BF.

I leave about 3:30 and I'm home by noon. most of my time is travel because I live in the boonies and the mall is an hour away from me.

I take a quick wake up shower and grab my clothes that I layed out the ngiht before. Jeans, shirt sneakers and grab a jacket and I'm out the door. I figure the scarier I look the more people will get out of my way! LOL

I would never cut and if someone tries it they had better run for cover.

Sound's like you got a lazy check out person or a new one that has no clue. I would get on the phone to the manager of that WM and complain!

Here is the deal on price matching as far as I know. The only stores that will price match is Walmart and TRU (not sure is TRU still will or not) and I think some other stores like Staples also. You must have the ad and the item you are PMing must be exactly the same as the one your are purchasing. They will only PM dollar amounts. No % off or Buy one Get one frees. At least that is the PM deal in all of the Walmarts in my area. And as far as TRU goes I don't know if they PM anymore. Kmart used to but they stopped doing that two years ago. The best policy is to call ask for a manager and get the PM low down.

Okay this kind of started in another tread but I thought it would be interesting to talk about. Do you wrap the day of BF? The days after or Christmas eve? I start wrapping after Thanksgiving when my son is in school I turn on Jerry Springer or Maury or something or that nature and spend a few hours every day wrapping. I also label the gift in code so I know what is in them. So I'm not giving the gameboy games before the game boy! I save all the empty roll for my son and after school we make swords or something.

Last year after Christmas I got enought wrapping paper to wrap for the next two years! It was .29 a roll at CVS last year. I cleaned them out. Now every time I go into the closet rolls of wrap are hitting on the head! LOL

The only thing so far that my son has asked for is a Doodle Monster. Hopefully someone will have it one sale. 16.00 for a stuffed animal that you draw on is nuts!

If there is a good deal I'm going what ever the store. I haven't really ever had any reason to boycot a store usually there are all pretty organized and friendly. Of course I live in upstate NY and people are usually very nice.

Last Year I hit Sears first for the 10 gift cards some tools and a CD player, Then I went to Walmart for Spider man web blaster( price match from Target ad) the 10 cordless drill, and a few other things I can't remember, Then I hit CVS for the 1.99 batteries. Hope they have that again this year. I hit Old Navy too but nothing exciting there. Then on the way home I hit another Walmart for some other things that the first Walmart didn't have.

Laat Year the ads started to roll in November 1st last year. So hopefully they will come in about then this year. Let's hope all the same people are still working at the same places and can sneak out that ad for us!

I carry some cash for the little purchases here and there and then the rest I pay for with my debit card. It makes it easier to see how much I have spent that day. I can just sit down at the computer BF night and figure out how much I dropped that day. Of course I usually already know pretty close to how much I spent in my head.

LOL I saw that on the TV ads and almost died laughing. I think I would have my son to a shrink if he told me he loved me more then bunnies!

I go with my mom. I'm not sure if she will be going this year becuase of her knee replacment but I'm working on her!

I hate people who think they can just waltz to the front of a line that I have been waiting in for two hours. Last year one guy tried that and he almost had the crap beat out of him. I don't like kids who do not want to be there being dragged out. It is not fair to them or others who have to listen to the whinning for hours. If I wanted to listen to that I would drag my son out!

This year I am 99.9% done already I just have a few key things to get.

If you hurry on Amazon they have Bratz Buy two get one for free and alot of them have free shipping. I got three of the 5.29 Funk Out Bratz this week for 10.00 shipped. I just looked and the Funk Out Bratz are sold out but there are tons of other ones that are very cheap even the Bratz Pets. The Boy Bratz are 7.98 and you can get them Buy two Get one free. I would think that this sale will end tonight.

I heard on the news last night that the BF deals are suppose to better and there are suppose to be more of them. Retailer are hopeing to make up for a slow sales year. Lets hope so! What do you think? Does anyone work in retail and have any hints as to what might be on sale yet?

Yes they are open on Thanksgiving. I think the Kmart ad has to be within a certian mile radius for them to price match you might want to call and have a chat with them.

I always find a few things I can't live without.

I have helped older people get stuff into there carts and things off high shelves. But by the time I check out I'm ready to hop in the car and go to the next store.

No way I have a wallet that fits in my pants and I can carry my bank card and some checks in it. A purse would cramp my shopping speed to much!
