Santa told me that if you want to go ahead and open the box, everything inside is wrapped :).

Yep. I think I drove BY a Menard's once in Missouri. I pointed at it and said "Hey, that's that store!", but I've never been inside. And yet, I look at every item in their ad.

I haven't seen anything from Academy. I went to their website, and apparently they are having issues. (Or it doesn't think I'm a human and so it won't let me in )

That's a good price on the 27 gal totes if you need them.

They've listed the Rayovac batteries as $10 off instead of a set price this year. That's interesting. The Energizers at HD might actually be a better deal.

I was just telling my sister, it seems the more I buy the longer my list of still need gets! I try to keep the grands pretty even, and the grown up kids pretty even, in terms of # of gifts (they don't have to be exact, but close). When I look at the # of gifts I still need to buy, it feels like it should have been my starting #. LOL I envy those of you that wrap as you go. I just can't do it. Even though I keep lists, and would mark it off as I wrapped it, I would still be second guessing myself and unwrapping stuff to make sure it is what I think it is. So after all the shopping is done and all the candy is made and all the cookies are baked, I dedicate 1 day to nothing but wrapping. I hate wrapping, LOL, so my sisters come to help. We make cocoa and have a good day just hanging out together and doing my chore.

Thank you! I honestly had not seen that. I've used other filters, but didn't realize I could filter out 3rd parties.

We are off Thursday and Friday.

Home Depot, Lowes, and Academy.

Checked out with what I had saved in my list. I'm with others here in that I'm not scrolling through 5000 pages to see what's on sale, that probably isn't even being sold by Walmart. We will be there Friday, and if I see something in store that I think I need, I'll pick it up then :).

Ordered a couple fillet tables for my boys. We talked about going to the store Friday, but it's farther out than anywhere else we shop so I decided to just let them bring them to me

I think it means you can't include these items in your buy 3 get 3. You have to pay $40 for this bundle. But your buy 3 totals will qualify you to buy this. I'm not sure I said that right, but I know what I'm trying to say! LOL

First tracking # is in! This would be a good time to remind you - PLEASE post here when you receive your package, even if you are not opening until Christmas. It keeps my spreadsheet happy :).

I do this as well. And, when I put things in my wishlist I make a note on the item with the price it was when I added it. Amazon is bad about raising prices before putting items "on sale" for the same price it was a week ago.

This time of year, I keep a spreadsheet of all my online orders and their tracking #s so I can make sure I don't miss anything (and so I know when i need to go to the post office). I also get text updates from USPS when I have a package coming. So earlier today when I got a text with a tracking # from WI, I was panicking that I had forgotten I had ordered something! The lightbulb came on after a few minutes :). Thanks Brad!

Congratulations winners!

Mine expires in March, but I can't get it to budge off the $79.99

We will go out. It's a tradition, and it's fun, and I need it SOOOO bad this year. I will probably not have anything left on my list, but I bet I buy something while I'm out anyway. LOL

Alright Santas, the lists are out. Ready, Set, Shop! Please let me know ASAP if you didn't get a list that you should have gotten, or if you got a list you shouldn't have .

Not too late! I haven't drawn names yet for the SS or OE either, if you still want to get in on either of those :).

This is it. Today's the day. Please get your info in. Don't forget to turn in your list

Home Depot has an animated reindeer and I want it SO BAD. I stand in my living room and turn in a circle trying to figure out where in the world I could fit him (my house just isn't that big). I think I'd have to take out one of the recliners or the love seat. I live alone, though, so I don't need all those seats anyway! If company comes, they can sit on the floor.

I love this community. Thank you, and if she does send me her list I'll be sure to let you know. I've had a couple other people ask about adding her info to the cards list. Since she is currently staying in a rehab center and I'm not sure what her mail situation is, I've reached out to her to ger her okay on that.
