Have you looked online at Amazon? I bought a red refurbished mixer for about $120 with free shipping and no sales tax. Most of the time, refurbished only means that the box has been opened. I love my mixer. Also, I believe that Costco is offering instant savings right now on the large mixer. The Kitchen Aid Mixer, regardless of which one you purchase, is awesome. I only regret not purchasing one sooner. All of the colors that they offer are great. Don't just get a white one, go for the color.

Is there a way to display the colors for the girls coats in size 7-16? I can't seem to get it to work. TIA for any help.

Do you have children involved in travel sports or school? I now order gift cards at face value, but a certain % per vendor goes back to my daughter's travel soccer account. Those discounts add up very quickly. B&BW is offering an 18% discount right now, so for every $100 worth of cards that I buy (they are in $10 and $25 denominations), I get $18 back to the soccer account. The program is called Scrip, and it is offered to all non-profit 501©(3) organizations. I am the Scrip coordinator for our soccer team. It's also great for fundraising at public schools, private schools, churches, etc. There are lots and lots of vendors to choose from. Here is a link for anyone that might be interested. http://www.glscrip.com/howscripworks/index.aspx

Also, if you google Vera Bradley, there is some company that offers free shipping on all VB items. The price of the item remains the same, but you do get free shipping.

Some people on ebay do offer some great deals on NWT items. I was able to buy several VB things from someone that lists on ebay, and she ended up giving me a better deal on the side since she didn't get hit with ebay fees. I got a great deal on several items like the small duffel, large duffel, luggage tag, watch, etc.. She shipped the next day after I sent my paypal payment. I can send you her email addy if you send me a PM. I think her rating is a 100% rating on ebay.

Thanks for the advice, everyone.

Any advice on the docking station? Thanks.

Oh, that snow globe is so cute. I got the little light up "Hot"ornament last year. Melies mom, you crack me up. I also live close to Nashville. When I was pregnant, I would go to the doctor's and get weighed etc. Then, I would go through the KK drive through and pig out on donuts with my low fat milk.:) Unfortunately, they have opened a KK really near my house.

I just bought a Wii for my children for Christmas. What accessories do we need? Is the docking station a necessity? TIA for any advice. The 40% looks good with free shipping.

Azzycat, how do you separate the canister? The one big negative about the Dyson is that my owner's manual is virtually worthless. I am finding out things through trial and error. Thanks for any help.

Thanks to a smart gottadeal member who looked at the code at checkout, the free shipping code for AG orders over $100 is 155573. This offer is good through November 20th only. Hope this helps! Lu

iluvamystery, I think this is the first coupon that AG has sent me! I sent an email about 10 days ago asking why I never got offers. I got a very ambiguous answer about the marketing dept. I really think they usually send the offers to people who DON'T order instead of those who do order. I just verified your info by putting something in the shopping cart. The coupon code is definitely 155573 and is good through Nov 20.

Pandagirl, my Dyson has a button that I push that opens the bottom of the canister to dump all the junk in the trash can. Just shake it a little, and most of it all comes out. I am happy NOT to keep all that junk in a bag in my vacuum cleaner. No wonder my house smelled like wet dog after I vacuumed.

I just posted a thread in the on-line deals. I got a link for free shipping on orders over $100 from AG today.:) The link takes you directly to the AG website where the free shipping is automatic. I can forward this to 3 people. The first 3 email addresses that I get will get the free shipping link. Please just send a PM. Lu

I just got a link for free shipping at American Girl for any orders over $100. UPDATE: The free shipping code is 155573 and is good through Nov 20. (Thanks iluvamystery) Happy AG shopping. Lu

Wendy, the Oreck is very very light. The Dyson seems so heavy compared to my Oreck. It is not something that I would try to use on the stairs. The Dyson is make of plastic, but it is very solid. It does not feel cheap or flimsy at all. I would recommend an Oreck to people with back issues and those households without pets. I still cannot believe all the dirt, dander, and hair that I have picked up. Do you know anyone with a Dyson? Maybe you could borrow one, and see how it works on your floors. Don't forget that I have a 25% off coupon for LNT if you want it. I can just email you the link. It expired near the end of October, but they will take expired coupons. Open an account and save another 10 or 15% (I can't remember), and you'll get a great price. By the way, I did not purchase my Dyson on-line. I got it at the store. If you do order on-line, make sure that you check the box for pick up at your store so that you can get free shipping. Lu

Azzycat, I am happy that you have loved your Dyson. It's nice to know that they do have good customer service. That seems to be the exception to the rule now-a-days. LNT also has a deal when you open an account. I had completely forgotten about that. I already had an account, so the offer wasn't good for me. You can still use your other coupon in addition to the discount with your charge account.

These look really good. What flavors are best? Thanks for the link. Lu

fomoco, LNT was the best deal that I could find since I was using the coupon as well as my gift cards to benifit my daughter's travel soccer account. I can look and see if I still have the 25% off coupon. If you print it, they will honor it even though it is expired. I think I saved about $140 with my coupon and then about $40 went to my daughter's soccer account. I looked at the pricing for the new Oreck's, and they aren't cheap either. I also have all hardwoods down (except for the master), and it is doing a good job. It took me a few minutes to figure out how to use the vacuum for the hardwoods. The instruction manual is not the best. The weight of the vacuum and the poor instructions are the 2 negatives. You will be shocked and amazed to see what this vacuum picks up. There is also a Dyson that is available through overstock. I think it is a bronze model. I have a 10% off coupon if you end up buying that one. The good thing about overstock is that you will save in sales tax. My sales tax is almost 10% (9.75). Feel free to PM or email me if you need any coupons. :) LoveNC, I can see how the filter gets clogged up. I have been trying to "fish out" all the junk that doesn't immediately fall out with the handle of a wooden spoon. I still am amazed at all the fine dust and dander that is picked up. I was loyal blue Oreck through and through until I used the Dyson. The Dyson may not be worth it for people that don't have pets, but for pet lovers, it's a must. I love your story of putting the vacuum to the telephone so the customer service rep could listen. That is hilarious. Lu

Well, I took the plunge and bought the D17 Dyson at Linens N Things. They let me use my expired 25% coupon at the store. I also buy Scrip gift cards through my daughter's soccer team that earns money in her soccer account. LNT was offering 10% on the Scrip gift cards, so I saved another 10% (after the 25% coupon) by using the gift cards. I am very pleased. I have to say that the Dyson is unbelievable. I really did love my Oreck and was reluctant to change brands. With 3 dogs in the house, we have an unbelievable amount of dust and dog hair. Some of the carpets look like they have just been professionally cleaned after using the Oreck. I have used it now 2 different days. I have emptied the canister at least 6 times. My vacuum bag on the Oreck was never that full after 2 months. I don't know about the longevity of the Dyson, but so far I am impressed with the suction power. It is VERY heavy compared to my Oreck. Now there is no yucky smell in the air after I vacuum.

They wouldn't let me stack my coupons at the store yesterday. I could use the $10 off OR the free temptations coupon, but not both. I had them ring up my purchases in 3 different orders! I still did OK since I got the free $10 gift card. The $10 gift card is one per customer, so I had my DD pay for one order to get another gift card. If you haven't tried Cinnamon Bun Heaven, it is awesome. It smells sooo good. There are some tempatation products that are half off. If you get the 3 in 1 wash plus the lotion it comes to exactlly $10. Then you can use your coupon for the free lotion item.

Thanks for the code and the link. I ordered 19 items for under $150, including shipping and sales tax.

Thanks for the link. I just ordered some for Christmas. :) My DD will be so happy to have the husky.

I saw several Little Tykes kitchens at Marshall's for $39.99. They looked like a great deal. I bet you might also find them at TJ Maxx since Marshall's and TJ Maxx are owned by the same company.

mommyspice, which model did you buy? Have you had any issues with your Dyson? Thanks.
