Those storage solutions look pretty good. The cart on the last page is basically the same price today if you order online and pick up in store ($52.49 vs $49.99).

Finally joining the club this year (since I'm here all year anyway)! :-)

No, we talked about it. I was like, "Can I bring my order up here then?" and he said, "Will it be a lot?" I said, "Yes. I have 10% off my total order." His eyes got wide and he just stuffed it in my carriage and said, "I don't care. I don't even work for Target."

I was able to use my 10% off my total order coupon on the BF preview items. Got my niece the Instax Mini camera for $30 after you take off the gift card. I had to talk the guy into letting me put it in my carriage to bring up to the registers instead of buying it at the electronics department. It was either that or he ring up the rest of my $300 order! Good thing I look trustworthy!

I'm missing my BF buddy this year as she is going to Germany for her daughter's tap competition. I'm saying that I might not go out, but I think we all know that I'll probably hit up a few stores.

We don't know what is going to be on sale on Friday, correct? November is my Target Card anniversary and I have a 10% off my order coupon. I wonder if they will let me stack it with the preview sale on Friday? That would be the best!

Do these people think we have Thankgiving breakfast? No much quality time if you're opening at 2pm! (Which I know is what they usually do, it's just funny how they worded it...)

I'm in the market for one too. Trying to decide if it's worth it to get a Maker or if the Explore Air 2 would be enough. We mostly cut paper for craft/school projects, but I'm not saying I wouldn't want to cut fabric if it was available to me.

I looked. They have PJs but I'm looking for sweaters or button downs or something on the dressier side for photos.

Does anyone have recommendations for matching family outfits for Christmas pictures? I've looked all over the internet, but I CANNOT find something that matches for me, my husband and our two sons. The boys are easy, adding my husband in is complicated because he needs a Large Tall,which isn't sold everywhere and I can't find anything for myself. Any suggestions?

I waited too long on the family jammies and now they don't have my kids' sizes.

I was looking at the Imaginext Batmobile for my younger son and the price was actually lower last week with a 15% off Cartwheel deal than it was in the catalog. Which doesn't mean that BF prices aren't going to be lower, but I was underwhelmed by the prices in this catalog.

So buying on November 1st is better because you'll get 20% off instead of 15%? (Assuming the base prices are the same?)

I looked up Jingle Bells Around the World, but all I could find was an instrumental version. I hate it when there's something you can't find on the internet! It doesn't seem possible!

That's an awesome tool! It's a Wordpress blog that I'm trying to dig through but I think it only saved the first page of the tags, and I need to dig deeper than that. I'm bummed because that's eating at me! I am dying to see it!

With all that extra payroll, maybe they won't just leave pallets full of boxes in the aisles during peak shopping times...

I did some Googling. It's on a page that's broken so I can't see the other lyrics. But I'm gonna go with "Jingla Bell Jazz"???

Congrats to the winners! I can't believe we're still waiting on an ad! :-)

My Christmas Club got moved into my checking account this week so IT'S ON! Looking forward to getting the season started!

Yesterday was officially 100 days until Christmas! Yikes! I bought quite a bit on Prime Day that I actually want to wrap and then figure out what people need. I never ever do that, but I need to get myself organized before the holiday season hits!

Harbor Freight - 10/4

I got my kid's backpack from that KMart. It was pictured on their website as having 2 in stock. Went up that night but couldn't find them. Ordered it for in-store pick up. It was actually kind of nice that the store was so calm. I didn't mind my kids running around because there were no customers to trip over. When the bag came in a few days later, we went back. The email said to go to any register. There was no one at customer service, so we went to the line. The guy at the register said he couldn't help me and I told him there was no one at customer service. It took a bit for someone to get over there and then they had to hike off to find the order. In the end, we got the backpack he wanted that I couldn't find anywhere else for a great price, but man, it was painful.

If anyone buys my kid Ryan's World Treasure Chest, they can prepare to have it thrown at their head. Why that kid is famous I have no idea!

I have a Christmas Club, but I don't deposit enough to cover my whole Christmas budget. You could also open a higher yield account through SmartyPig that will let you categorize your money into "goals" and save that way. There could be others, I just happen to know about SmartyPig. I also use UPromise and Ebates when I'm buying things online (they work the same but UPromise's rates are often higher) and theoretically you could save that cash back for Christmas budgeting, same with a cash back credit card. My husband and I are both salary, so there's no chance of making extra money to pay for Christmas, so we have to save during the year. My husband teases me, but I buy a ton of toys on clearance and save them throughout the year. The kids' Easter Baskets this year were all things I found on clearance at Target. Our attic has a bunch of toys in it right now that are being held for upcoming birthdays or Christmas.

Sending you prayers Gator Pam! I hope they find and heal it quickly!
