One of the other message boards that I belong to posted a link in one of the threads.

Yup, us too. I got a new tree at Menard's today, and it's up, but not decorated. I'm going to start wrapping tonight after I get the kids in bed.

LOL... OK, I can only wish my waiting was that exciting. I got to hear a girl of probably 15 whining to her mom that she was standing for too long and needed to go outside (we were inside Walmart waiting for the unveiling) and have a cigarette.

WOW! Great deal ~~ and kudos to your dh for doing the right thing. There are so many out there that wouldn't.

Mine doesn't have the offer number on it either. I figure I'll just do the mail-in.

Luckily I have a closet that has shelves behind the clothes rack. The kids never think to look in there --

I was at Walmart and didn't see any unadvertised specials, but then I went straight to what I wanted and was out of there. K-Mart did have one unadvertised special, some Harry Potter GBA games for 5.00. I'm thinking they were acutally just clearance though (with a big sign over them saying "unadvertised special"), because there were a TON of them there.

Me too, with no questions asked. There was a big enough price difference that a supervisor had to approve it, but she just kept her key in the register until the transaction was complete and turned it when the cashier asked her to.

I was done by 9:30. If I can help it, on a day off, I'm not even up this early.

I got to Wal-Mart at 5:00 am. Ours is open 24-hours, so I was able to go in and grab all of the items that I was PMing, as well as other everyday priced items that I was putting on Lay-A-Way. The crowds weren't getting thick yet, so I had some time to decide where I needed to be to get the items I wanted. I ran into a co-worker, and we were getting some of the same items, so I stayed with one and she stayed with the other. About 5:30, it started getting crowded around the Rock and Play Piano. There were only about 60 of them total, and most of the people were saying how they wanted 3-4 of them. The Walmart staff cut it open at about 5:55 and said she was getting out of there, and asked us to play fair. Everybody waited until they announced the sale, which was really cool. Grabbed my items, met up with my co-worker, and headed to Lay-A-Way. I was 4th in line -- YAY! I made it to K-Mart by 6:30. My brother is the electronics manager there, and he said that he went through 80 DVD players in 2 minutes. I got everything I wanted there except the boots my mom had asked me to pick up for her. After everybody was talking about Menards yesterday, I was afraid to go up there, afraid that everything I wanted would be gone. It is 1/2 hour drive, so I wasn't sure if I was going to bother to take the trip. WRONG -- they were busier than usual, but nowhere near the mob scene that one would expect. I was able to get everything there too. Then over to Staples for the DVD +R. They had those stashed in back, so you had to ask for them. Got those too. Then to Target, where I got everything I wanted, and picked up a toaster that wasn't on my list, but ours broke a long time ago and we just never bothered to replace it (I'm eating toasted bagels with cream cheese as I type this, I forgot how much I love them!). I then went to Meijer to pick up a couple of things, then on to Ace for batteries. I got mostly everything that I wanted, not much hassle, and had a really good time!

NP -- just glad I could help.

Target -- Microbead toss pillows mold to your shape and melt away stress. Choose from a variety of shapes and colors. Pictured is a neon green, blue, and a purple. 8.00 each.

Dh just mentioned how it would be nice to get a few of those for when we lounge around on the floor. Lemme look and see if I can find it for ya.
