That is the best way to describe me too! That just made me laugh so hard. I'm just glad there is no blood involved.

I have two girls, 8 and 6. They want Barbie Cruise Ship, make-up sets, fleece lined crocs, camp rock/ high school musical stuff for their room, gift card for Claire's (earrings), Columbia fleece jackets. All fairly practical choices, much to my amazement!

Geotrax is awesome. I can't speak for others. I just think the Geotrax has so many cool features that I can't imagine buying anything else.

Thanks for the heads up! I just ordered mine too. I wasn't going to buy it but the price was right!

I got the toy book with $5 off $50 in the mail yesterday. Today we went to Target and the had what looked like the same toy book but almost twice as thick and a lot more coupons. As a matter of fact it had a pull out coupon book in the middle. My daughter found it laying somewhere in the store. Hope it helps someone.

We bought an easy bake for our dd at six years old because I remember how cool mine was at that age. We just buy the Jiffy mixes at the grocery store, let her use what she wants in the easy bake oven and throw the rest in the toaster oven in a bigger pan. It's a win-win situation. I think it makes the girls feel safe and responsible with cooking. Of all the toys you might chose this year, I think it's a great choice!

Yes, scrapple used to be something my mother said she ate alot growing up. It cornmeal and scraps of I don't want to know what! I believe we tried it once with syrup on it. No thanks!

As a music teacher, I have been listening to it since September. Frankly, I am sick of it and can't wait to hear something else. Ok, I love it the last week of school before the holidays.....the kids even seem a little kinder, gentler, more giving.

Thanks for doing the math! I had no clue how many days we had left and certainly never gave a thought to the 90 day return period. It's a good thing we have people like you around that keep all of us organized and on track!

We just got back from Target and bought mostly Campbells soup and Barilla whole grain pasta, all 50% off. We were able to stock our pantry for the upcoming winter season-Farmers Almanac says it will be numbingly cold.

I found a ton of Smith and Hawken metal planters and hose keepers for 50% off. I was able to purchase the last two window boxes for 50% off. I was so excited because I wanted new boxes for the last two years.

I hit both the Watertown Kohls and Fayettville. I was mostly looking for girls 7/8 and found a lot of great deals. There were a lot of t shirts for $1. and other cute shirts for under $5. I also found two pairs of gold ballet flats for $3. Some of my stuff today rang up wrong and the cashier explained that it is because they were putting stickers on this afternoon for the new markdowns tomorrow. So she said she had to let me have them for that price!

If I remember correctly I hit that sale last summer around the second week in August. I think all Land's End sale stuff was an additional 70% the already clearanced price. The stuff we found was amazing! I remember saying to my husband after paying practically nothing for a giant bag of clothes and shoes..."you better go look again, those prices are too good to be true!" And then I made him take me to another Sears to look for more.

I too, have had terrible luck with buy.com and will no longer do business with them. It's a shame because there were times in the past that I spent a bit of money with them, and so did my extended family. The last straw was a refurb. ipod that died after a few short months. I can't remember any shipping problems.

I just got back from Clay, NY Target, Easter was 90% and the had a lot of those really cool baskets/buckets in different characters and shapes. We got two transformers fabric buckets for .99 each. I was so excited. I also found a lot of those "FLOR Rug in a box" for 75% off, just what I needed to carpet my old splintery floors upstairs.

I am wondering the same! Hope somebody knows a little about karaoke machines. I did see one in the Target Black Friday ad that was priced reasonably, but I haven't done any research on it yet.

We love it as well. As a matter of fact our family now asks us to order their stuff from Amazon, shipped 2 days to them, and then they reimburse us. It works great, especially if you order a lot of little things and don't want to wait to get a cart full. It almost justifies buying stuff because now I don't have to drive all the way into town.

I bought a bunch of stuff last night! Great deals! The next two coupon codes worked together! "SPA" for any True Blue item up tp $15.00 free. "FREESHIP65" if you buy $65.00 worth of stuff

Wal Mart needs to get themselves headed in the right direction. After the fiasco last year with their website and POOR quality merchandise, I don't care what their ad says, I'll be spending my money elsewhere. This whole legal threat is just the clincher for me.

We do three gifts from Santa because there were three wisemen and three from Mom and Dad. Our daughters, age 5 and 7, get a little bit of everything. I buy each of them something I think they'd like, something they asked for that was reasonable but will probably not be a big hit after the newness wears off, and something practical, like clothing or a family game. Santa and Grandma come off smelling like roses because they purchase all the cool stuff that mom and dad "can't afford".

My favorite thing about the holidays is just the sense that magic is in the air and it's ok to "believe" for a short bit of each year. Believe in family, miracles, goodness, joy, peace, SANTA!!!!!!! Just a belief in something extra-ordinary!

I hate the crowds as well. I'll be up all night searching for the best deals online!

I love trying new things during the holidays. What does your family always ask for? Share a recipe here! Thanks! I am loving these ideas! Keep them coming!

When it comes to Santa, there is no HELL! "Everything" is truthful in SantaWorld!

I've got a rubbermaid tub going in the garage also. I keep sending my husband out there with odds and ends and then questioning him if he remembers what he put in the tub. He always has the same kinda answer, "I don't know, it was something in a Target bag!" I' must find a better sysytem of keeping track of what is out there-I can't remember anything!
