Try telling them to punch in an exact amount, sometimes that'll work.

If Kohls carries it, it might be 50% like other toy-like items.

We already have a Go-Pro discussion going here: http://forums.gottadeal.com/topic/233850-go-pro-camera/ Closing this one up.

My credit cards in the past year has been breached at: - Target - PF Changs (and I hate myself for it) - Home Depot They issued me new ones. Life goes on. Considering how little cash I carry nowadays, the bonus dollars I can earn on credit cards, and that I don't want to be robbed at an ATM after taking out cash, I'll keep using credit cards.

Yep, I always order online. It's so easy to get up to the minimum for free shipping. That's a good line.

Also if they lock it down to the primary account holder.

Oh man. If someone got me the cross stitch of the month kit, that'd be awesome. Actually, every other month. It'd take me a while to finish one. *stares at unfinished knitting project... never started cross stitch projects...*

Check with your local library to see if they have ebooks to check out.

Which ones? So at the semi-annual sale, you don't get a lot of "neutral" colors - they're almost all pretty bright. I tend to order online instead of fighting the masses in store.

Oof, those hours are brutal for employees. I hope they can work it out that people are staggered.

Yes, the semi-annual sale will be in January. That's actually a great time to go shopping for clothes, all the stores put stuff on massive clearance. Last year the bras were BOGO 50%. Might want to check the bras you want and see if that's a good job.

Google voice is free for now - free phone calls from your computer. I use it when I'm calling anywhere that I anticipate being on hold. (or if I don't want you to know my real number, lol.)

Amazon Lightning Deals and Prime = Best Friends Forever.

I enjoy keeping my body parts, so, no, I don't really go. If I go, it's way later in the day. This year if I go, it's me walking over to the mall, so I don't have to deal with parking madness.

Trying to find a decent Christmas station on iTunes radio. One hasn't popped up yet.

While the season is nearly over, I saw these deals at Staples this week that are pretty good: (starts Sunday) BIC® Atlantis® Retractable Ballpoint Pens, Medium Point, Black, 4/Pack $1 (Reg. price $4.49) (join me, pen friends, in finding more and more pens...) If you still need mechanical pencils: BIC® assorted mechanical pencils, 24/pack $3 (Reg. price $7.99)

It looks like this - a basic 70 sheet notebook.

Darnit! I was there about 10 minutes too late - someone grabbed an entire unopened box of the .07 notebooks. I think she was buying for a school (she better have been...) so I wasn't mad, but damn. The mead notebooks (non poly cover) were 20 cents.

Verizon made my decision for me. Definitely trading in if they're going to take my old as heck iPhone 4.

I'm bummed about plasmas too. I love my plasma tv.

All the big stores will open on Thanksgiving. They did it last year, and people still showed up en masse.
