    what clothing brand do you buy for your kids?

    in Deal Finder & Deal Discussion

    Posted

    I used to dress my kids almost entirely out of Old Navy...then they closed up here, so now most of their stuff comes from Kohls, Target and Walmart

     

    My ds 13 wears only Levi's...mostly cause they are the only ones that fit him right...for shirts since he's a 'teen' now, I try to be a bit more trendy so he has SOME Hawk, South Pole and Aeropostel stuff...but honestly, I think the store brand stuff is just as cool and sometimes lasts longer than the expensive stuff

     

    my twin ds 10's wear whatever I find on sale...they have various brands of pants all bought on clearance, shirts that are almost totally from Walmart...at this age, they out grow before they really wear out, so I would just rather pay $8 for a shirt they will wear for 6 months then toss or donate it when they are done

    nothing in today's mail and our Target not only did not have any books, the lady at customer service told me she wished SHE could get one!!! but had no idea how to get one

     

    :(

    Couples what is your holiday gift solutions?

    we technically don't buy for each other, but I get stuff for him...

     

    he used to want me to make out a list of what I wanted, where in the store it was, how much, color, size, etc...it felt more like I was sending him on an errand than him shopping for me

     

    he never buys for himself during the year, and I usually do the shopping so I pick up what I need and occasionally want for myself

     

    I'm hoping eventually when the kids are bigger they will think of me and go shop for their mom once in awhile

    Do you buy for your mail carrier?

    My mail carrier is insane :eek:

    If you attempt to go near the mail boxes she stands and shouts

    "step away from the mail receptacle, it is a federal violation to approach the letter carrier

    when she is delivering the mail" WTH :eyepoppin

     

    OMG I LITERALLY lol'd at this one!!!!:cheesy:

    I always give something to my mail carrier...usually it's a cute item I've made, but this year I think I'll get some gift certificates for a fast food restaurant

     

    we never get the same UPS person or I'd do something for them too

     

    I never know if we have a new paper delivery person either or they'd be on my list too

    I got an idea!

     

    Decorate a Holiday Tree ornament or make one that features GottaDeal.com's logo, or stuff about it. Go to a local store. Place it on one of their Holiday Tree's, take a picture. Post the picture here, and tell us what store, make sure we can see the ornament too!

    Now whether you leave the ornament on the tree or not, that's up to you. :)

    this is really a cute idea....I'd sooooo do this!

    Buffet or sitdown

    in 2008

    it really depends on your set-up and how many people...

     

    with Thanksgiving, I usually host and have 9-10 people, I can fit 8 at the main table and a small table to the side for my twins works well for us

     

    we just had my ds 13th birthday and had 20 people here...no place for everyone to sit, so we did it buffett and had two tables set up in different rooms and tray tables in the room connecting the two rooms

     

    you do what you have to do....I prefer family style, so whenever possible, that's what I do, but sometimes it just won't work

     

    and I agree with leefamily23...food should be much better planned...I ALWAYS over make cause I'd rather have leftovers too (like dancglady) :)

     

     

    although one year at my grandmother's for Thanksgiving (this was many years ago), we were sitting family style, but the food was passed around and when it got back to the head of the table, my grandmother put whatever was leftover into Tupperware!!!! Nobody got seconds on anything!!!! It was a weird year cause she also set the table with paper plates, plastic silverware and Dixie cups with water (dishes were never a problem cause I always washed them for her)....

     

    families....lol

    pass our flyers promoting GottaDeal (must submit pic proof of you doing it)

     

    recon: pictures of the 5 items you think will be top sellers/hard to get on BF (you must be in pic and have a GottaDeal 'sign' in the pic with the items)

     

    a write-in contest...who most deserves a shirt and why

     

    a similiar write-in contest...who DOESN'T deserve a shirt but wants one anyway (this could be really funny)

    What were your Hits and Misses last Black Friday?

    in 2008

    Posted

    Butterscotch was both hit and miss here....I got it for my son who LOVED it and screamed and laughed and loved it to death the first week...then slowly tapered off...however when I said something about giving it to the kids at the shelter, he cried and said we couldn't get rid of his horse...so I'm just not sure

     

    other son wants Biscuit this year...not sure if I want another large toy like that which will be loved but not played with that much

     

    other hits; rockband, real electric guitar

     

    miss; rc helicopter (from grandparents), stupid thing wouldn't fly well at all
