Wow, sorry to hear about your heart attack. I hope you are doing well now.

When you drink as much Dr. Pepper as my household does, that alone makes it a good ad. LOL

There was a name and address missing from the cards list. Thank you Sunni0913 for catching my mistake! I have sent her info to everyone participating in the cards, so please check your messages.

Mine are both Cook's Essentials, from QVC. I can't speak to any of the other brands.

I got an $89 TV on a lightning deal one year, and literally about threw my laptop in the floor because I got so excited. LOL

I have 2 on my counter. I started with a 3.6 (or there about) qt, decided that wasn't quite big enough so bought a 5.6. I use them all the time. They are like a convection oven, in that they are cooking with hot air. But the shape allows the air to flow around the food (or something like that). I "fry" chicken legs in it and they are better than my actual fried chicken legs. But I tend to overcook chicken legs because I'm so paranoid I won't get them done. I do french fries, tator tots, fish sticks, any of those frozen convenience foods. I've done a whole turkey breast (see picture), that came out awesome. But my favorite thing to cook in it is steak. Yes, steak. I do add about 3 minutes to the preset, because the preset is not quite done enough for me. The trick to crispy is, you DO still need to use oil. Just spray coat what you're cooking though, it's not like dropping it in a vat of hot oil. And the excess will drip off, so it's still healthier than real frying, if that's your goal.

I had googled "best gaming headsets", and found a list of 5. But they were expensive (like a few of the ones in your link, but they were all up there). Thanks for the link.

My son has mentioned wanting a new headset for his game. I see them in several ads, but how to tell the difference? Is one better than the other? I should mention, he has one that works. He says it's "just a cheap Walmart headset". But the brand I see at Walmart is the same brand in all the ads, so maybe he's looking for something more expensive and high tech? I would just ask him, but a) he's told me not to worry about it because my budget has gotten tighter, and b ) he ALWAYS knows what he's getting for Christmas . SO, having said all that, what do YOU look for in a gaming headset? Would you be happy with the $29.99 Turtle Beach Recon 150 I can get at Best Buy today? Or would you be happier with the $44.99 Turtle Beach Stealth 300 in the Target ad? Neither?

I have ordered online for in store pickup from WM and Target, and never had trouble. I have read that some people are not so lucky, however.

I always think it's not the ads. It's that there's just nothing new. We have it all.

I would recommend investing in a better set of pots and pans. Circulon, for example, will last you for years. And the price isn't that much higher than RR or PW (because you're paying for their name to be on there).

Such a tough age. Have you considered upgrading her bedroom decor? Maybe a new comforter & curtains, a few wall hangings? Something for that transition from little girl to teen (sorry to say the "T" word, I know it's a scary one. LOL). Karaoke machine? Dance video games?

Wow. This is usually one of the last ads I'm waiting for.

Home decor, throw blankets (maybe as part of a set), kitchen gadgets. Is there anything a lot of the participants have in common? For example, hunting and fishing gear always go over big when my family plays.

Bass Pro had one for $599. Cabela's had a bundle (Kayak, Paddle, Crate, Garmin Striker 4CV) - 899.99. Home Depot had an inflatable for $60. You can check out those ads here, if it helps: http://forums.gottadeal.com/topic/286017-black-friday-ads-from-the-past-dates-lists-scans/

I updated the cards list

Ornament names, and cards lists are out. Let me know ASAP if I got anything wrong or if I missed anyone. HAVE FUN!!

the Secret Santa names are out. I will come back and do the Ornament Exchanges and send the cards list here in just a little bit. READY...SET...GO!!

Notice that price is after mail in rebate (still ultimately a good deal).

With your Prime account, you can get 20% off Music Unlimited (reg $7.99/mo). If you buy an Amazon device, you get 3 months. I don't know if you would get the free months if you don't buy it from Amazon. I may be missing what you're seeing, but I don't think owning one of those devices will make the monthly rate cheaper.

I'm afraid we wouldn't get far lol

make sure you are using the import from url option. You can't upload the pic straight from your device. Does that help?

Thanks guys. I was thinking $25 too, but wasn't sure since it hasn't released yet. I guess since it's unlikely to get MORE expensive after it releases, I can just wait and see.

OK, I feel like there used to be an Official Video Games thread, but I can't find it. Please move this if it belongs somewhere else. Every year, I get my son the newest COD game, but this year he already has it. So, the other day he said I should get him the new Spyro, which I guess is a remake of an old game he played as a kid. (I'm not at all a gamer, can you tell? LOL). What do you think the chances are of this game being on sale on BF? Or should I go ahead an pre-order it now on Amazon for almost $40?

I guess it would be an inventory nightmare, with too many smaller items, to try to do like Sam's does, and allow you to scan on your own phone. Short of that though, checking out throughout the store sound like a great idea.
