Did anyone get a Mervyns ad in the paper? I was shocked that there wasn't one in either of my papers (LA Times and Daily News), but did notice an ad in the Times saying saying there were errors in the ad. I wondered if they left the ads out because of those errors.

FYI on the handsoaps. Last year they were 4/$10 BF and $5/10 the day AFTER BF. Alot of people had a hard time getting PA.

They're onsale at Mervyns for $6 IIRC and they have a better selection.

LeapPad does have a Thomas book. Not sure about My First LeapPad. LeapPad books are $7.88 at Kohls. The ad says off of all LeapPad games, so I was able to PM at Kohls who has a MUCH better selection then Kohls.

I don't really do a set amount. My girls are young (4 and 6) I imagine if they were older they might get a computer or game system or something and that would make the $$ amount go up a bunch. I also don't do the same amount per kid thing YET. I try to go for an even amount of toys they've be happy about. Like older daughter will be getting a $100 American Girl doll for chirstmas (Ouch!) and younger daughter will get a $10 CPK. They'll be equally excited though. I've spent $300 between the two of them so far. That includes the $100 doll, Disney Princes TV/DVD for them to share, so about $100 on misc stuff.

My sister bought some today 3/$10 (even though I told her not to cause they go 5/$10 often during the holidays!). Anyways, can she get a PA tomorrow? Will they let her pick up 2 more or whatever?

I know ours was still PMing up until a few months ago. I just went in to PM something last week and learned they don't PM anymore. So, I went to Walmart today instead :)

Walmart! As odd as that is to say.....I was super impressed with them this year. Browny points first of all for being the only one of the 'big box' stores willing to PM. Everything was super organized thismorning at our store. Lots of everything in the add. Lots of SAs around that knew where the ad items were. The only thing I was disappointed with was the efficiency of the PMs. They required a SM to to come put a key in the register and it was crowded and the SM were busy so you had to wait around (which didn't make the people behind me inline happy). Otherwise though, A+ to Walmart :)

Yep. Those are the ones in the ad. According to the add the reg price is reg $12.50 each and the sale is 2/$20. They might be that 'sale' price all the time though.

Which playsets? I happened to get a flyer in the mail today for the DS (with a 20% off coupon! I wonder if I can combine BF and the coupon??). Anyways, it says the figurines are 2/$20, are those the playsets your talking about?

Please disregard if this is old news. I did look and didn't see anything. Just got back from the mall and they had a sign up. Sign says the store opens at 4, free select DVD (I remember Cinderella was one of them. There were I think 5 others) w/ $75 purchase. HTH someone. Not amazing to me, but if you feel like starting at 4am at least it gives you somewhere to go

No BF ads in the L.A. daily news either. Plenty of ads for Wednesday sales, but nothing for BF :)

Totally the Little People sets. If you don't end up with the BF one though, they have the newer zoo (each animal is an alphabet letter and it talks...I think it makes the letter sounds). Anyways, they have it onsale at Target this week I believe, and I'm sure they have it at Costco but I'm not sure of the price.

I also saw it. Channel 5 KTLA (SoCal) during 7th Heaven :)

I vote, don't believe a flunky department store manager. Just be patient and see what pans out :)
