    Do you collect ornaments?

    in 2015

    Posted

    Frosty Friends from Hallmark, every year since I was a child. Once i buy it, it feels like the holidays can begin. :)

     

    I collect Frosty Friends too as well as other Hallmark ornaments. I also have a fairly large Grateful Dead ornament collection.

    No Walmart legal letter yet... update 10/19: it's here

    You know, I haven't been inside a Wal-Mart I think in over a year. But not because I'm boycotting them... there's like.. one... in this entire area.

    I've got you beat on that one. I haven't been to Wal-Mart in over ten years, and there are two Wal-Mart stores close to my house. I just come to the Wal-Mart threads to catch up on the latest gossip and complaints. As for the C&D letter, I'm really surprised it took them so long.

    Bath body works sale - 10 coupon off 40 check email

    So do they keep marking stuff down? How often should a person check?

    If this works the same way all the other semi-annual sales have worked at BBW, some of the items will get marked down more (ie from 50 % off to 75 % off) and some won't. Usually, every week of the sale different items will get put on sale, some of the previous week's items won't be on sale any longer, and some of the previous items will still be on sale possibly at a bigger markdown percentage. Normally, the sale changes on Monday, but during the last semi-annual sale (last June) the new week started on Thursday instead.

    I'm rather new to the Bath and Body works sales. Don't they have a super sale coming up soon? Does anyone know? My store had a few things at 75% off but mostly 50%.

    BBW's semi-annual sale started today and ends on January 16. The stores in my area didn't have too much out that interested me, but I did manage to find a few items I wanted. I don't remember everything that was on sale, but here's a partial list of items on sale here: some of the older fragrances are back that come back during the sale like Country Apple (I think they are on sale for $3), some of the holiday hand soap fragrances were 75% off (Twisted Peppermint, Vanilla Bean Noel, and Candy Apple), the Winter Cranberry hand soap was 50% off, the holiday fragrances of shower gels and lotions were 50% off, the Lemon Vanilla lotion and shower gel was 75% off, a few of the Patricia Wexler items (all I remember was tinted moisturizer and Intensive 3 in 1 serum) were 75% off, some of the pocket bacs (White Citrus, Orange Sapphire, Midnight Pomegranate, the remaining halloween and christmas fragrances plus a few others) were 50% off, the Orange Sapphire hand soap and the figural Market Apple hand soap were 75% off, some of the hand soaps (Sunburst Tangerine, Fresh Linen, and a few others) were 50% off, Lemon & Orange Blossom body wash was 75% off, some of the Scentportables (Pomegranate Lemonade, Apple, and a few others) were 75% off... that's all I can remember. Also, some of this varies by store.

    Keurig VS Senseo...which do YOU prefer?

    I just ordered the red mini from Kohls with the 30% off:D I figured if I change my mind and decide to keep the cheasp Senseo, I can always return it when it gets here.

     

    What KCups are the best?

    I bought the Mr. Coffee one that's made by Keurig a couple of weeks ago when Target was offering a $20 gift card when you bought it because it was cheaper than the other ones ($80), and so far I really like it. I haven't had the chance to try too many of the varieties yet, but the ones I like so far are Newman's Own Special Blend Extra Bold, Green Mountain Donut House Chocolate Glazed Donut, Green Mountain Dark Magic, and Timothy's Decaf Columbian. Yesterday, I ordered several sample size packs from Keurig's web site so I could try some different flavors.

    Need info for Toys R Us on Black Friday! How TRU handles lines, doorbusters...

    in 2010

    Posted · Edited by oldandintheway

    Freebird, I don't know how popular the Ipod deal is going to be at Toys R Us this year, but my suggestion to you is to call your store and speak to the store manager on Monday or Tuesday and ask him how many Ipods will the store have for the Black Friday sale. Then base your game plan on that information. If your store only has a small quantity of the Ipods, I would suggest lining up outside at 3 or 4 pm. But that really depends on how many Black Friday shoppers there are in your area. Last year, I arrived at Toys R Us late (a few minutes before 11 pm) because I didn't need any of the hot items, and there were at least 200 people already in line. According to a store employee, people started lining up around 5 pm. Like the others have posted, around 11 pm or so, an employee came down the line and asked if anyone wanted one of the hot items and handed out slips for those items to any of the customers who wanted them.

    Official Black Friday VIDEO GAMES Discussion Thread

    Here's a question - we're getting a wii this year and I really want Beatles rockband. Well Beatles rockband for wii is too expensive, but the software is cheap. Could I use wii Band Hero gear with Beatles rockband?

    According to Rock Band's web site, you can use the Band Hero instruments to play any of the Rock Band games (except Green Day) on the Wii. You can use basically any USB microphone to play the Rock Band games. The other day, I found a game with a microphone for the PS2 at Gamestop, and it works fine with my Rock Band games (RB 2, Lego RB, and Beatles RB) on the Wii. I've never used the Band Hero instruments, but we use Guitar Hero 3 guitar, RB guitar, RB drums, RB microphone, and two microphones from other games to play RB and have never had any issues. For more info on compatibility, go to http://www.rockband.com/compatibility .

    Anyone remember if Bath and Body works has good BF deals?

    Actually Dark Kiss wasn't in the bag this summer. The two bags they've done since last CHristmas have that Forever Sunshine and Orange Sapphire.

     

    I'm really hoping for Dark Kiss. I'm in love with that stuff!

    I don't know about the bags other BBW stores got this summer (I think it was in July, but could have been August.), but the bags the stores in my area got had Dark Kiss as the featured fragrance. Maybe the bags we got were a mistake or something, but the one I got had Dark Kiss in it as did the display bag at the store. I remember because Dark Kiss is one of the fragrances I don't care for, but I bought the bag anyway because my DH wanted some of the items in the bag, and I knew one of my friends would enjoy Dark Kiss.
