Cookie salad? Is that a real recipe? If so, you MUST send it to me, PLEASE!!!!!

Hey now, they might have even better store closing sales then BF sales, this could end up working out for her, at least for this year.

I'm in MD, but this summer I was in Indy, and behold the glory that was Meijer's!!! IIt was amazing, and reminded me of an old Super K I used to go to, K mart and grocery combined, before it closed. I hope they expand out here, as we don't have any Super K or Super Walmart or Super Target anywhere near me, and I always found the combination of groceries and discount department store super convenient.

These are two struggling retailers. I think this might just be what both of them need to stay afloat. Hopefully with their combined buying power they can become more competitive.

I consider myself super lucky to be able to work four 10 hour days, Mon-Thur, so I always have Friday off. If I didn't have it off, I would definitely take it off, but I understand that's not an option for a lot of people, especially those in retail.

Thanks, I appreciate it, I can totally see those. Those plasma screen TVs are mighty tempting. However, I still wonder why I cannot see that thread directly in the forums.

I'm sure this is a really stupid question, but where the heck are the Costco ad scans? On the main BF page, it says there is a link to them in the forums, but I can't find it here anywhere. Little help?

Looks like the newly posted Best Buy stuff has an IPOD on sale a bit. But, may I recommend what I use, an RCA Lyra. Here's a link to the 40 meg one, I bought the 20 meg one about a year ago: http://www.mysimon.com/4014-6490_8-30469698.html?tag=ksrch.srlist&q=rca+lyra So, that's about $200 for 40 megs, I don't think you can beat that. The Best Buy Ipod is $400 for 20 megs. I honestly don't see why this player never caught on, I love it, find it very easy to use, and it doesn't use any kind of proprietary format, like I understand that ipod does. It's a little thicker than an IPOD, but it's not very heavy, I take it everywhere, to work and the gym, and have no problems with it.

Almost completely off topic, I have a friend who just bought the Senseo coffee maker, and she says it makes excellent coffee. I'm guessing with it being relatively new in the states, that SOMEONE should have a sale on it for Christmas.

When I first started doing BF, about five years ago, it was great, I got up super early, made the rounds to get a lot of great free stuff, and got most of my Christmas shopping done. But the past few years, there's been less and less free stuff, and the sales have just not been as great. The only free thing I got last year was the JCP snowglobe, but going there to get that caused me to spend money at JCP that I otherwise would probably have spent elsewhere.
