  1.  

     

    I've had to rent/borrow smaller cameras for concerts several times this year and it's for that reason I'm looking for a smaller programmable camera this year. I love my DSLR but the last concert pics I took with borrowed camera were so bad I could cry.

    Being a very frequent concert go-er.. I have a Canon SX60 HS that I've been able to take into nearly every venue (1 venue is evil).  It takes GREAT pics and is substantial enough that you shouldn't have a problem with your arthritis.  I usually use manual settings during shows w/o flash and auto w/ flash for pics with people.

     

    As for the DSLR question, I've been debating myself.. not between which camera, but whether I would use it enough to justify the cost.  Most of my photography is at concerts and DSLRs are frowned upon.   I'm also spoiled by the rotating screen on my current camera.  (My camera also has the wi-fi) 

     

    Good luck in all of your searches everyone!!

  2. The CVS I went to today had a few of the Bic Soilei razors with a free pack of refill cartridges attached for $5.99. Paired up with a "Buy any handle, get a 4 pack of refills free" MFC that was in the paper a few weeks ago, I left with two handles and 4 packs of refills for $10 after using some ECBs :)

    I paired that deal up with a $2 q from a previous package of the disposable soliel razors. Very nice!

  3. Just got back from the cr, ia store and some were 75% off some went 50% and some stayed at 30%. I had the toy isles to myself besides the mark down team. Guess I'm the only crazy one to go toy shopping when it's -52 with wind chill!

    No.. you weren't the only one out. I was just at the Waterloo store instead. -34 actual temp. yikes!!

    Didn't look at the toys, there were lots of baby boy clothes at 75% off, not much for girls; Hundreds of shoes that were 75% off, kids & adults both. They also had several of the sit & stand strollers for 50% off, sold the last 2 high chairs they had just as I got there. Not that I need any of that stuff..

  4. Only one stop for me. Walmart--arrived about 3:30. PMed 4 games from BestBuy, candy from Menards, Guitar Hero World Tour from Target, picked up 6 HSM & Hannah Montana dolls, 2 sets of 10 matchbox cars. No problems getting any of the items. Unfortunately chose a checkout lane with inexperienced cashier, waited 10 minutes for CSM on the candy PM, then had to have the CSM back for the Guitar Hero PM & something with the final transaction approval. Out the door about 5:30 and at work by 6
  5. I did buy the Crazy Frog also but haven't tried it yet. BUT...I also got the Naked Brothers Band one and that one kept skipping and did the same and the post above. I removed and reinserted and now works fine. Good luck!

     

    BTW...are people finding the Fusions's now at 75% off because I paid at only 50% this weekend.

    They were 75% off last week in Waterloo, Iowa.. 50% off Sunday in Mason City, Iowa. Not sure what they are at now or if they have any left.

  6. Waterloo Iowa store has:

    Fusion & Fission players (can't remember which is which) all for 75% off. Sponge Bob & Naked Brothers Band in both. Had at least a dozen of the video ones and double that of the non-video.

    Hannah Montana stage 75% off 14.xx, Pokemon Battle thing also 75% off.

    LOTS of ladies clothes 75% off about 3 racks of them.

    Boys button down dressy shirts 75% off 3.xx I believe..

    3 boxes of the rug squares, striped pattern - 14.xx--these were a return.

    That's all I can remember. I need to start writing down notes..

  7. I unfortunately did not find a Photokinz at my Target today...:( So if anyone would be willing to look for a MONKEY for me or has a MONKEY that they would be able to part with, I would be willing to pay for it plus shipping. Please PM me regarding this. Thanks a Million!! You guys are wonderful!!

    Not sure what part of small town Iowa you are in.. however.. the Target store in Ames (as of Saturday) had two cows, one penguin, one dog, and one frog. 7.49/ea

  8. My dd wants a pink kodak easy share, I have been looking online. Found these so far. Keeping fingers crossed for better deal BF.

    The reason she want an easy share is that is the kind I have and she likes mine. Plus she wont buy batteries and Im not either, lol.

     

    Keep in mind battery cost, look for a rechargable battery camera.

    You might watch Target. As I recall one of the stores I was at last weekend had the pink kodak cameras on clearance.

  9. The OM store in Beaumont, TX has closing and clearance signs on the front windows including furniture & fixtures. But things are only marked down 10%, somethings are 20% (pen, pencils & markers) and a few 30% (presentation materials). The shelves are still loaded with items. I'm waiting for a better deal.

    Same with the Waterloo, IA one. I had my boss pick up some stuff that was decent price to start with, but not going all out until the markdown is way more than that.
  10. The company I work for has a general credit card that they use for hotels and someone at one of these places used it to sign up for aol. The lady that takes care of the credit card has gone round and round with them to get the charges removed. Still not sure if she has had any luck, has been going on for at least 2 months.

    AOL was my first ISP about 10 years ago & I had a heck of a time getting them to stop charging my card when I closed the account. What a pain in the ...

  11. Mom & I went to both of our nearby Walmarts and bought tons of stuff.. they had the little scrapbook sets for $.24 and some of the bonbon stuff for $.20 (reg $.88) Didn't see any wrapping paper left, lots of cards.. tons and tons of lights.. We also hit Kmart and got flannel sheets twin size for 11.26 and 5.61, the sign said 14.99, so check the prices!! And more of the 50% off makeup with $2 off coupons making it $.60 or so.. Great shopping day!!
