Yep, this is Staples' annual anniversary week sale. There are some great deals to be had if anyone's in need of office supplies and the like. --Mark--

That's really useful and a good deal...too bad there's no Costco around here... --Mark--

Hey guys, As you know, my favorite hobby is finding out all the glitches on Pizza Hut's online ordering system -- I swear their webmaster must be like a high school student or something. Large 1-topping pizzas are usually $9.99, and you can find coupons pretty easily to get one for $8.99. However, if you want to get one for only $6.99, use the following coupon code: 61 Here's what's interesting about this. The coupon "61" is supposed to be for a medium 1-topping pizza, but for some reason, when setting up your pizza (i.e. which topping you want), you can make it a large pizza. Of course, remember to use coupon FS as well to get some free breadsitcks -- that's a $14 order for only $7. --Mark--

Oh, come on Aaron, I do have a life....I'm also working on trying to debunk the theory of relativity in my spare time; but trying to get free pizza and breadsticks is a much higher priority. --Mark--

Actually, I hope the topic title isn't too misleading, as this offer only applies if you've joined the Pizza Hut VIP program. With the program, if you buy two pizzas in one calendar month, you get a coupon for a free pizza in the mail. Make sure you redeem these coupons online using the "new" ordering system. These are supposed to be one-time use coupons, but the new system doesn't have the check and balances in place to invalidate your free pizza coupon when you enter it online. Also, when you pick up your pizza (or have it delivered), make sure you have your coupon available, because if they ask for it you'll need to hand it over, but I've done this for five or six times and the most recent time was the only time they asked for the coupon. So..as long as you still have your coupon (in case they ask for it), you can continue to get UNLIMITED free pizzas with it! I'd give you a code or two for a free pizza, but I'd be afraid that someone will enter it on the "old" ordering system, which does make the coupon invalid after you enter it. Actually, if anyone would like to try it out, shoot me a PM and I'll give you a free pizza code, with details for you to make sure you enter it correctly. Bye for now, --Mark--

By the way, speaking of Little Caesar's crazy bread, here's a coupon for an order of crazy break for only 99¢ http://littlecaesars.com/images/coupons/cr_combo.jpg --Mark--

Oh man.....it no longer works! EDIT: Nevermind; I just tried it again and it's working EDIT (Again): I figured out what the discrepancy is. The coupon code only works if you order using the "new" online ordering system. (i.e. Click the big orange "continue" button when you log into the system; don't click the smaller button below to enter the old ordering system) --Mark--

I actually came across it because I had an old coupon for "Get a large 1-topping pizza for $8.99". The online code was listed as "FS", so I entered it and saw that free breadsticks were added to my cart. So they must have updated their system since that coupon was printed. --Mark--

There's only one Little Caesar's in my area (if you can even call it that) and it's in a Kmart. There used to be one within 5 minutes of my home, but it went up in flames (literally...there was a fire). I absolutely LOVE their crazy bread and still am disappointed that I don't get it as often. Well, you have to make at least an $8 order to get it delivered; but if you want to just pick it up, you can just order the free breadsticks (hey, you may even try to get multiple free orders at one; just enter the coupon like 10 times) --Mark--

Just order online at www.pizzahut.com and enter the coupon "FS". This is a multiple-use coupon that, as far as I know, doesn't have an expiration date. Enjoy! NOTE: This coupon only works if you order using the "new" online ordering system (i.e. When ordering, don't choose to enter your order using the "classic ordering site") --Mark--

Yeah, I bought a few family gifts that I get some use out of (new monitor, blender, phone, etc). But I didn't really buy anything just for myself. I'm pretty good about that. --Mark--

I don't know. I'd like to, but it's going to be like -20 or -25 degrees (wind chill) here on the 26th, so I might just stay in my nice heated house. --Mark--

$60 coffeemaker and $50 pack of tea/coffee for $44 (no rebates). --Mark--

Awesome. Thanks, jaycebee! --Mark--

I think I've come in at just under $1,000 this year. --Mark--

Well, in my first post here, I said there'd be like 75 presents under our tree for Christmas. Well, it looks like we'll actually be closer to 100 (with the youngest one, 16, getting about 36 presents) -- by far the biggest Christmas we've ever had. --Mark--

I hate to be a devil's advocate here, but I really don't mind the pop-up asking for a read receipt. In fact, I like being able to know if someone read my PM (in case he/she doesn't reply to it). --Mark--

My other poll thread has received a fair amount of voters, so I thought I'd make a similar one about just how much people have spent on their presents so far (considering the majority of voters in my other thread are finished or almost finished). If you're coming to this poll late, answer it as you would have on 12/17/04. --Mark--

Well, I'm the one who voted for the last option. Maybe I'm too generous, but I never look at Christmas shopping as a task that can be completed. I buy Christmas gifts from Black Friday clear through the last week before Christmas. I just have a hard time buying anything for myself during that time period. --Mark--

If you're coming to this poll late, answer it as you would have on 12/14. --Mark--

Looks like they just raised the price from $26 to $35. Good thing I got it when I did! --Mark--

Well, two of my rebates have already expired and I did not send away for them. So I'm not quite sure how I would answer that poll question. --Mark--

My brother bought my Office Max stuff for me on BF while I went to Best Buy. I filled out my Best Buy rebates the very next day. The BB ones didn't need to be postmarked until January, so I assumed I had a long deadline for the Office Max ones as well. Well, I checked with my brother today and it seems they need to be postmarked within 14 days of the purchase (which would have been yesterday ). Oh well. I was only getting $15 in OM rebates and I've got $75 in BB rebates, so if I had to get only one set of rebates fulfilled, I guess I got the right one. --Mark--
