I just canceled my one-month free blockbuster account - if you are thinking about getting an account, get a trial first, and cancel it! During the cancelation process they offered me a better deal to stay on! 15.99 a month (instead of 17.99) for 6 months!

tab?

Ok, the woman lives alone in a retirement village. She can't go anywhere unless someone drives her... so GC usually mean one of my inlaws - who live closer- will have to take her somewhere, and i get an earful. We've done GC, Craft supplies (but her eyes and hands aren't so good) we even tried a seasons lottery ticket (to which she muttered: waste of &%%# money...) We've done corny jewlery boxes, pictures of the kids... all of it with luke warm response... Any ideas as to what she might actually enjoy??? Oh - we live 3+ hours away... visiting is not much of an option...

how did she lose the weight? At the gym? Maybe a membership, or an excersize bike for home? Reciprocal saw? Those are awesome!

they both expire the same day (tomorrow)

Mine was NH, MA, VT

don't they sell the little chinese-food-takeout looking boxes.... hmmm...

what is a dip mix? as in like chip dip? In a jar? how about wine bags?

should I stop giving them away here?

The one I got is. I would check to see if your local McD has them, too. They are franchises, but often have the same kinds of promotions.

found a 12 pack of halloween coupons at my McD's tonight. 3 each of: -free pie or kid size drink, -free small fries, -free cookie - chips - or kid size drink, -free small cone (or drink - I am noticing a pattern). cost:1$. yup, 1$ for the 12 coupons. coupons are valid 11/1-12/31 in 3 states. (Great Dane Mom, some are near you) reedemable by kids 12 and under only.

sounds like you've got plenty to me...

Sure, all well and good, but I'd rather deal with the cold than the hurricanes... :)

D'oh! That makes it tougher... Get a surrogate shopper?

day shift? What time does it start? You may be able to hit 1 store before work...

yup. we've got them in our house. they were gifts, both barbie and bratz, and I think they came from walmart or target.

Ok, this is a bit off topic (just barely) but we celebrate hannukah in our house, and I just started making up the list of the things I had gathered for the kids... Hannukah is not a major gift giving holiday - and we do just trinket gifts for the most part. For DD 8: (will turn 9 during hannukah) A CARS license plate for her bike a felt color-it poster a birthstone necklace 2 gameboy videos a sticky pad with her initial on it a 3/4 sleeve shirt with flowers, in her favorite color For DS 6: A Cars license plate for his bike a spyro school kit a batman winter jacket a sticky pad with his initial on it a book of dinosaur stickers & a strechy toy dino a fantastic 4 metal lunchbox 2 ninja turtles action figures a dragonball Z action figure we also have to talk to santa... he brings gifts to papa's house... I think DS will be getting a GBA, but I have no idea what DD will be getting.

please see the thread in post #1 for all the advice, questions and answers you might have.

I have one of them, too... I will post it tonight or tommorow. -- added the netflix link to post #1

AFAIK they normally do 2 week free trials. Here is a code for a Month long free trial Promocode:friend1 Please note that this offer expires on October 5, 2006. Blockbuster online not only sends you the movies directly, they also give you a coupon for 1 free in store rental a week (even during the free month) http://www.gottadeal.com/click.php?retailer=blockbuster Also, here is a link for a free 1 month Netflix trial http://www.netflix.com/Default?mqso=80009930

I didn't get it... so .. yes? I kept hearing about pokemon freebiees... :) TRU is an hours drive... not worth it to save a couple bucks, too much in gas. but thanks for the thought

I don't know if travel agents allow that... I'd suggest you save until you have enough $$ or use a credit card...

why use a travel agent? why not cheap tickets, or expedia?

whatever I got on clearance last year :)

I thought it was 1 per person, not household...
