  1. my total would come out to $289.98 (plus no tax..so that's an extra $25 savings that I would essentially "not have to pay for")

     

    plus a $50 GC to boot? This is a better deal IMHO.

    :gdiagree:

    This is exactly why I jumped on this deal ... was really looking for a good deal and for me, this was the best way to go! I plan on using the $50 GC to buy the Wii Play w/ extra remote and an extra nunchuck which I was going to buy anyway! :g_dance:

  2. Here's our tree this year taken in two different settings (the 2nd one shows the fiber optics the best):

  3. This is the only cookie I don't screw up!

     

    RED VELVET COOKIES

    1 box red velvet cake mix

    2 eggs

    1/3 c. oil

    Tub of cream cheese frosting

     

    Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix the first 3 ingredients. Roll spoonful of dough into a ball and place on cookie sheet (don't flatten unless you want them thin). Bake for 8-10 minutes. Allow to cool, then frost with cream cheese frosting.

     

    If you don't like red velvet, you can substitute with any cake mix (I've also done lemon mix with lemon frosting and strawberry mix with funfetti frosting).
