Definitely more this year!! Last year was slim in the financial dept.. this year shouldn't be (and I should have even more if I'd get a job, lol). :)

I just minimized mine. :)

My DH repairs computers as a side business. About 3/4 of the hundreds if not thousands of PC's he's had to reformat or just tell the owners that the HD went bad.. were eMachines.

I don't get myself clothes on BF.. but I like Sears, JcP, Eddie Bauer if I am feeling rich (lol), etc. :)

Yum. I always have McD's after I am done shopping. I look fwd too it after a few hours of he.. I mean shopping.

Coworkers and people we are not all that close to, around $10 or so. I agree with SuperMommy, it's more about the thought IMO. :)

Ditto, may treat myself to a laptop.. but I am trying to talk myself out of it for some reason, lol. :)

A camera lense.. he has a Nikon SLR (D70) and needs another lense. It's between the lense and another D70 actually (yes, a second one). I am debating still.

I don't think I do either. Each of my kids gets one or two toys for Christmas each year. Now granted, they are all toddlers (3, 3 and 1) and I know we'll buy more quantity wise as they get older. But for now, this is just right. With what they get from the Grandparents, we don't need to buy them anything really. LOL.

It's more than likely a cookies problem. Hit sign out.. BUT then, if you have IE (do you?), go up to Tools>Internet Options and push the button for "Delete Cookies". Then try rebooting the PC as well, just for good measure.

THREE? Eeeks. Wayyyyy too early for me. That means you have to be up how many hours earlier than 3? LOL. No thanks.

I always forget about them for some reason. I may hit them up this year if they have an ad (I don't see ads from them too often?!).

I never tried mine on BF, but I don't see why you would have a problem. I'm going to use mine on BF this year as well probably.

This is what I hate. I also don't care for how one person will be in front of you.. and then their buddies show up RIGHT as the store opens.. all ten of their buddies that is. They just send one person out to hold the line and the rest show up.. blah.

Around that age I wanted CD's, subscriptions to magazines, clothing gift cert's, etc. For my own children, they are 3 (twins) and 1.. my daughter will probably get a doll or the like, the boys will get something each (one present each). I don't like to go nuts on kids who have too many toys already.. Plus their Grandparents help out enough as well.

Or maybe, just maybe, I'll win an Alienware by BF time (in my dreams). Heh. I only use my laptop now for regular online stuff - emails, sweepstakes, forums.. nothing intensive at all really. I occasionally load up Photoshop but not often.

Oh noooo, believe me - that's why I wouldn't go this route for what he does/needs. I've priced laptops he needs and they'll be $2k easily. We both build computers and repair them for friends/family. I just want another laptop to toy with.

Blizzards don't happen here.. nor most any other advisory. When something does happen, it's just a lot of rain and some flooding usually. But if something did happen, I think stores would just open as usual and say, "Come if you can.."

I know certain regular items go on sale/clearance to bring in next years models. Does anyone know when infant/toddler car seats are clearanced out? I am thinking either spring or fall, but is there a specific month?

Thanks all. Even with rebates, I'd still jump at it I think. I wanna get DH a new laptop for school but with how graphic intensive his work is.. I think that gift will have to wait. Instead, this laptop may be for me.

Stowasser - Yes, but I think shipping isn't included in that.. so it's a bit more of course.

Yay, thanks!

IF I use a cart (I try not too), when not pushing it - I stand beside it and keep my hand on the biggest thing (or the thing nearest the top, that way they can't pick stuff up from beneath it). I've never had anyone take anything out of my cart nor my hands. I did have someone offer to pay me for an item I got the last one of though. :)

Early November usually.

Best Buy had most of their deals available online last year.
