I got lots of stuff from the after Christmas sales last year We too are doing a small Christmas as we are going on a family cruise from 1/3/10 to 1/10/10 so that is the BIG gift and we will be doing excursions etc. I will still buy more than I should no doubt:blush:

FYI I just saw an infomercial last night on this new vacuum called Garry, it looked amazing and it is guaranteed for life and has free bags and maintainence for life as well. It is $200 but that is paid over 4 months (4 X $50). I am sure if you googled it you can find it. They did side by side comparison between the Garry and Oreck and Dyson and this one was the best. I mean I know infomerical are to sell products but this one did seem really good. good luck and if you do buy it you would never need to buy another one ever.

OMG we have fujitsu's at work, maybe it is our system but they are the biggest pieces of junk I have ever used. They are constantly in need of repair, keyboard falling off, screen going dark for no apparent reason, will not stay charged. I for one would never recommend a Fujitsu.

I know my DS is a video game addict His 360 is the middle one. The basic one cannot store things in memory and you cannot go online with it. My son plays all those shooter type games too. Also iirc Game Stop had a better warranty with the used ones than the new ones you have to be careful about that red ring of death thing. He plays lots of games online with the Xbox and amazon has deals all the time where you can buy the 12 mos subscription cheap.

LL Bean hands down. They have a free lifetime replacement warranty on them too. The best $40 you will ever spend. DS22 has had the same backpack since he was 10 and it is still going strong. I even wash it and dry it to keep is cleaner looking

I haven't been to a target in ages but I went yesterday and found a DS game that was M&M's (like tetris) for $3.48, they had others too but not as discounted. Summer is still full price here however. I did score some Weight Watchers frozen meals 5 for $9.00, I have never seen them that cheap so I stocked up No more MM 10 packs I guess..only 12 packs for $2.99

I AM NOW OFF ON BF I was scheduled to work but I agreed to work this Saturday all day in exchange for having BF off. Yes....I am very relieved not to mention a 4 day weekend

www.llbean.com they have a lifetime guarantee on everything they sell. their backpacks seem indestructable too. My DS22 has had the same one since 4th grade and it is still fine. It is well worth the money imho as you will not need to buy another one

I work in primary care pediatrics and there are 9 other pedis we cover for so we all take turns. The offices are open 365 days a year for somebody to cover from 8a-8p...it really sucks I may try to go before work if there are any deals too good to pass up. I said earlier Christmas will be small this year as we are leaving for a cruise on 1/3/10 and will be sure to spend lots of $$$ then

We are going on a cruise on 1/3/10 so Christmas will be smaller than normal this year. I want to be able to spend on the cruise . It will all depend on my bonus for this year although I would like to get a bigger tv for the living room

Arghhhh I just got my fall schedule and I am working on BF, Halloween and Christmas Eve, what a sucky schedule

I have only had good experiences with Direct TV now Comcast on the other hand Good Luck...

Target is not what it used to be I haven't even been in a couple of months and honestly haven't even missed it

Christmas Tree Shops had some really nice sets..really cheap. My boss has been going to Home Goods/Marshalls/TJ Maxx and getting some fancy stoneware that is really marked down according to him.

I know they also sell them at the Lennox factory outlet near here. We have some but I have never microwaved them.

My DS had the original ENV replaced 5 (yes count them 5 times, lol) he wanted orange so that is why he bought it I have to say Verizon was very good about replacing them, free overnight shipping etc. He finally gave up and went with the Voyager now and totally loves it!

Most all the stores around here sell them for $1 anyways. Of course the dollar tree always has them. I myself cannot wear them, they kill my feet Of course I have a nice pair of Birkenstocks that cost a little bit more than $1

How about some fabric Birkenstocks? Even some faux leather ones. I wear sneakers at home..nylon/plastic? I wear plastic crocs at work. I too prefer not to wear animal products of any sort and will not buy any product that has been tested on animals.

I think it is nice that the employees can have a day off to spend the Holiday with family

Just FYI I just got an email they have the Dyson Animal Purple one for $298 (1/2 half off) they have this really nice granite topped kitchen island for $99 just click on their website for more info That concludes todays PSA

Drats no Wii Fit I really want it but I am too cheap to spend that kind of $$$$ I just wish I could find a treadmill on freecycle or craigslist

Is it me or is Target starting to SUCK I just do not see any great deals there lately and the joy is out of perimeter perusing lately

Welcome to the GD family all you new people (sometimes GD fmily just sounds wrong on so many levels )

I don't know if your off brand was Vizio or not. We have a Vizio and love it, they are American made and the screen has a lifetime warranty (the pixels)..we have had ours for about 15 months now and it is the best imho. I got ours at BJ's for less than $700 for 42" Good Luck

Usually they have passes on their websites or you can call the store and check with customer service. Just FYI they do add a 10% surcharge using a free pass..since you are not members. BTW we like BJ's the best..they are fantastic, take coupons, have auto service,gas,pharmacy,florist etc. If there is one in your area check BJ's out. www.bjs.com
