  1. 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.
  2. I need the mermaid barbie. My store never got them in stock like with 20 other toys.

    This is my daughter christmas wish :)

     

    If anyone has one please let me know :)

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

  3. 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.

  4. 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 :)

  5. 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 :g_thumble

  6. 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.
  7. I went into TRU today to PM something from Target. They said they no longer PM :eek: Since WHEN!?! I know last year other people had problems with TRU and Kmart not PMing. I had no problem at TRU, and while Kmart SAID they wouldn't do it, after I pointed out the big sign that said they DID PM, they did it for me ;) (the sign was covered in black tape the next time I went in :tongue1: ).

     

    Anyways, is this new? Was my store just being nice PMing for so long?

     

    What stores (that carry toys and/or CDs/DVDs) STILL PM? Is Walmart the only one left?

  8. Macys does the $10 coupons and IMO has mediocre sales. Just the usual 50% off clearance blah blah. I think it even excludes designers (which are included every few sales...right now they're included). I think it's also an extra % off before 11:00. IMO not worth it except to spend your $10 coupon.

     

    Mervyns gives out a gift card to the first 200 people I think. It's only a $5 gift card. Here there's always a ton of people inline because they open later then most stores (7 I think) so people can do other shopping and then go wait in line. I don't bother for the $5 but do sometimes hit the sale later in the day or the following day. They do a decent sale IMO. Mostly just the usual 50% off sales they do all the time, but they do them all at the same time KWIM. Like 50% off jammies and kids jeans and side out and sweatshirts and rugs and towels and....

  9. Haven't seen them in any ads, but they have a set at both Costco and Sams club. Not sure of the price or configuration or anything, but worth checking out if you have a membership to either :)
  10. My kids have a nice, inexpensive, plain kitchen they've had for maybe 4 or 5 years. Theirs is the 'Family Kitchen' I think. It's the same 'base' as the cooking sounds kitchen but ours is girly colors and doesn't 'do' anything. Also where the cutting board is on the cooking sounds ours is a spot for baby to sit.

     

    Anyways, my kids use their kitchen often. They're 4 and 6 now and we've gotten plenty of use out of it and will probably get at least a few more years, at least with younger daughter.

     

    Another option, there's an adorable wooden kitchen at Costco for $95ish.

  11. Did she say if you had to come back for the doorbuster sale on Black Friday to get the price ADJUSTMENT? I am guessing by the post she didn't...which makes me think that you are one of the lucky ones that can do it anytime w/in the 14 days.

    You have to PA DURING the sale. So Friday/Saturday. If you come in Sunday and the Sunday price is full price, no adjustment for you.

  12. Our malls do not let you stay inside to camp out. How lucky would that be!? Nope, we shiver and shake untill 5a.m.

    When we were inline in the mall there was actually a store in the mall that was already opened. I wanna say KBtoys? I think that's why the mall doors were open.

  13. Thanks! Our outlet is probably a little too far away for me to bother, but looks like they'll be some nice sales :)

     

    I'm wondering if anyone outlet regulars though could compare the 'midnight' sale pricing to the regular pricing. Like Vans states B1G1 1/2 off...but isn't that the everyday outlet deal?
