You also have to sit down and figure out how much you have to spend in order to have the membership pay for itself. If it is just you, it might cost you more in the long run to join than say shopping at your local grocery store. I know that I always price stuff at my local grocer or even Target before I buy stuff at Sam's. With sales and coupons, I usually don't find myself shopping at Sam's that much. Just because the items are packaged in twos and threes, doesn't make them cheaper.

That's great news! Now if I can just get my DD to get on the honor roll ...

If you got this route, I would suggest a women's shelter of some type. They are always desperate for makeup.

I bought my DD the Sandisk 512 models on Black Friday. She is very happy with it ...

I went last night .. my Target was wiped out of V-Day stuff. No cards, no candy .. nothing but some Spongebob boxer shorts .. lol

You can just ask the Target store. I was shopping in one the other day and I overheard one of the sales assistants that if they didn't want to buy the item today that they would probably be able to find it at Goodwill in a week or so. So I'm guessing that the employees all know of when they ship stuff out.

A free shipping code would be great. I had two items in my cart that totaled $3.40. With shipping my total would have come to over $14.00.

I saw one at Big Lots on Sunday.

all gone now

No deals at my Sam Goody. 20% off CDs and DVDs but the CDs were marked $19.99 .. if they sold them for that price all the time, no wonder they've gone under ..

My Kohls has been cleaned out for weeks now .. you were luck. I have to buy a new winter dress coat and what I'm finding is that the stores have either sent them back, or not yet put them on clearance.

Oh I do love when Kroger includes Hamburger Helper in the 10 for $10 sale. My kids are hooked on Cheesy Enchilada and when it's not on sale it can be almost $2 a box.

My local Target has lousy customer service - and that includes when they bring the manager in .. if you feel like you were given bad customer service from a Target .. call their 800 number and complain. I did that and I was sent a $10 Target GC for my trouble!

I bought 2 and used both of them. One in New York City and another one in San Francisco. No problems using either one of them. I also got a survey from Restaurant.com after I used the coupons wondering about service I received and if I liked the restaurant. I was very happy with my purchases!

Do you have an IKEA by you? They are relatively inexpensive for furniture.

I do love Rugged Wearhouse .. but they sometimes fail to warn you that their "red tagged" merchandise is nonreturnable. They do have signs around the store and at the register, but I HATE when the folks ringing the stuff up don't tell me too.

yep .. the prices have definately gone up .. stuff that was 1.99 this morning is now not that low ..

Wow 1.99 for Paul Frank stuff? Great deal! Thanks

You have to keep your ears and eyes open for new restaurants. Usually on opening day is when they do the giveaway for a year's worth of food. But .. the line usually starts 24 hours beforehand.

I got my BB rebate on the Virgin Mobile phone over the weekend. Mailed on 12/14, received on 1/20.

Here's what I found on their site:

OMG .. thank you guys so much for reminding me of this. I'm headed to NYC with my kids and I was able to pick up a certificate to Mars 2112. This is one of their favorite places. $25.00 gift certificate for $6.25. woohoo!

Call your local American Cancer Society - they will give you a list of places who sell products for cancer patients .. or you can call a local beauty supply store

Good question .. I'd call Hasbro's 800 number cause I've never seen them in the stores. They might even let you order the discs directly from them ... I'll be watching this cause I'm curious now too ..

check Napster-to-go. You can download unlimited songs for your MP3 compatible player for a monthly fee. No committment to renew every month either ..
