My kids are loving all the cards that are coming to the house. Well you know how sometimes in the post mark they have the city and state listed? Well my bright DD16 wanted to know who Mobile Al was - she thought it was a person. I about fell out lmao on that one!

Do you have a Things Remembered by you? They engrave & personalize things. You might be able to pick up a child's set of silverware maybe and have that engraved.

I really wish we had a Meijers here in NC.

My stuff should be going out after Saturday. For some reason I have an aversion to doing anything Christmas related until after December 1st.

The guy at my local CC said the laptops were online for approximately 3 minutes before they realized their mistake.

While I was waiting to pick up my items that I had selected for instore pickup (were not available for shipping) I can't tell you how many people were told their items were not there and they would not get them. They only offered to refund their purchase price (some were doorbuster items). I would have been pissed if that was me.

You'll be in the store forever waiting for them to print.

you just mix and match as many different 4x6 pics you want. You can have them all the the same or not.

Sign up for Hot Topic email promos. They emailed me not too long ago and was able to score an extra 50% off clearance. Picked up some $60 Tripp chain pants for like $12. They normally do it again around the holidays, that's when I go and get some stocking stuffers. Slipknot tshirt and CD maybe? You could get her something from Hot Topic and ask for a gift receipt maybe?

Something with Jack Skellington from Nightmare Before Christmas or Hot Topic gift card. My DD16 is a goth wanna be.

there is also a coupon for 25 free prints with a 25 print purchase. If you order 50 at the above pricing that makes them 10 cents each. See the website for the coupon code.

My local Walgreens had them for 12 cents this week. You upload to Walgreens.com and pick them up in the store.

Unless the ad said "special purchase" they should have given you a rain check. But even Saturday night my Target had most of the merchandise on sale in stock.

See if you can find it at Target. If you're not happy with it, it would be easy to return. Target has an section with As Seen on TV products.

Next year get a raincheck.

You can return/exchange any BB.com purchase in store. My two Wii games came yesterday - in separate boxes.

I personally never understood why people line up so early at Target. They don't do doorbusters and will give out rainchecks for almost everything in their ad. It was the first time ever that Target had the game cabinets unlocked and unmanned. It was great. Swooped in and got my 2 Wii games and left. Was in and out in less than 35 minutes.

It all depends on what you are shopping for.

It depends on how much you play the Wii. I bought 2 packs of rechargeable batteries and just keep the charger by the Wii. Keep both sets charged at all times, replace them when needed.

oh that's clever!

One of my boxes came yesterday - the sticker was on the inside of the box on the flap. Glad I saw it before I put the box out for recycling. Maybe it's just when they send it in an envelope?

Wow .. I was lucky and ordered online when their site came back up Thursday at 6am. Got everything I wanted mostly Wii accessories - except Smallville on DVD which showed backordered. Got that somewhere else cause I think everyone had those onsale this year.

Oh yes the Lays are the best. Every other brand is NOT the same. Every time I head to Canada my first stop is for ketchup flavored chips. And I've never seen the Canadian/European smarties around here. You might want to try World Market as they carry foreign brands of candy. And they are like M&Ms.

Best Buy on sale this week for $19.99. Sears shows $19.99. Everyone else shows $24.99.

I think that's what Target is trying to stop IMHO. They'd rather have people shop all weekend instead of just 4 or 5 hours on Friday.
