Gator Pam

Ooo! UPC or model number please? How heavy duty is the mixer?

Me too! But I knew I would. I just wish someone had pm'd me while the chat was on to remind me. :::sigh:::

Well, I've seen so many 'team members' shopping the clearance deals while on the clock that they don't leave any behind for customers that I do sometimes wish I worked there to be able to do that. But, the sources I have gathered over the three years I've been Perimeter Perusing constantly say the employees are not supposed to even say when a department is going to be marked down or anything. I enjoy sharing the clearance deals at Target, once I've gotten my own. I think I would be very unhappy knowing about a good clearance coming up, and not being able to share aobut it.

I thought the no temp control crockpot was only meant for potpourri...

Teri, all last season's dollar spot items should be ringing up 30% off. The Dollar Spot is one area that's usually done corporate wide. Even if there are no signs are clearance stickers, take an item to a scanner and see if it's scanning at 30% off. I've heard rumors the items that are on clearance in the Dollar Spot may go 50% off of Mondy corporate wide.

Amber, was it a migraine both years? Could you be eating something at Thanksgiving dinner which might be triggering it? Perhaps taking a preventative dose of Immitrex before sleeping might help.

For some reason I'm thinking March/April, but my son is 12 years old, so I may be wrong.

From the above list, I chose America's Second Harvest and Habitat for Humanity. I feel these are organizations where donations go more to benefit those they help, and less to adminstrative cost.

Welcome to the gottadeals.com boards! I am also fairly new to the site, but my understanding is as soon as Brad and Ross get a confirmed ad for either BF or T-day, that they post it to the site. I'm looking forward to Kmart's and Big Lots!

I am awaiting mine so I can also promote the site. I love the idea of having copies of the ads on hand to pass out! I'll have to keep some in my purse.

Cami, could you give some more detail about 'that stupid little beep?' The plans for our first SuperCenter have finally been approved, and I was planning on doing a lot of my grocery shopping there with pm and coupons when they open. Do they limit the number of coupons you can use?

:::wishing I had the $$$s for it:::

There are several items in the Wal-Mart ad like this for me. We need a new t.v. in our bedroom, and the 15" flat panel will be perfect for there. I had a Concorde less than megapixel digital camera that worked 'OK' for ebay pics (I only paid $9.94 for it on clearance at Target) that gave up the ghost earlier this year, the Kodak easy share will also be nice. Due to my son's AS, he has use of 'assistive technology' written into his IEP, but the school refuses to supply him with a laptop; he has to use a desktop computer that faces away from the teacher and white board. If my budget allows, and there are any available when I get there, I will get the laptop for Beorn. There are other items I seelcted, such as the portable dv player and the dual screen vd player. And those are truly ones I'll seriously consider depending on my budget because of how good the deals are. We were the same way regarding upgrading from the GBA to the GBA SP. But, once we got one we realized the back lit screen, folding compactability, an built in rechargeable battery made it worth the price, even at $79.99. Oh, I hope they offer these again this year! I give lava lamps a b'nai mitzvah gifts which I have ensribe on the base with the honoree's name and date of ceremony in both English and Hebrew. Beorn's bar mitzvah is this oming September, so he'll be 'doing the circuit' this year. I better stock up if they are on special!

Will you have computer access while you're in Cocoa Beach? If so, pm me, and maybe we can arrange a brief IRL while you pass through Gator Town on your way home. I would suggest today, but we're at FIL's south of Orlando riding out Wilma before we head home later this afternoon (we hope!).

Oh rats, this is the first I've seen this thread. I would have loved to have suggested CHABAD-Lubavitch of Lousiana and Desire Street Ministries, both religious based organizations doing wonderful charity work in New Orleans who have been devasted themselves by Hurricane Katrina.

I think the retailers object because by knowing what will be on sale BF, and he prices for the merchandise, many shoppers postpone spending money now. I know I postpone shopping on the items I'm interested in! But, I doubt they would go through the trouble of 'leaking' a fake BF ad.

Crissy, are you coming down down 75S? How far into the Sunshine State are you trveling? You may be coming right past Gator Town! Great finds! Would you say the entire Fall line of outdoor decor has gone 75% off?

But, if Wal-Mart carried the items you want from Target and TRU, why not pm and be done with it?

I am so bad at remembering this type of stuff, even with a reminder on my calendar. Could I request someone pm me with a reminder once chat's started, if I'm not already in chat?

Any idea what time they become available on Turkey Day? Does that include door buster items? Do they honor coupon codes on T-day or BF? Hmm... Will they honor coupon codes for free shipping, if there are any current ones available on T-day and BF?

Ditto!

:::nodding::: I find the Wal-Mart door busters tnd to not be available ahead of time, as they are usually the item under wrap on pallets. But, the items I hope to price match from other stores are the ones I put on lay-a-way. Now, if I get a pallet door buster, do I have to pay for them during door buster hours, or can I go on line at lay-a-way and pay for everything at once, even if I don't get to the lay-a-way cashier until after 10:00 AM?

Me too, please!!

When does Kmart's Thanksgiving Day Sale ad come out in the papers? I'm hoping if there's anything I want to price match at the 24 hour Wal-Mart Superenter that's open all day Thanksgiving. We're at FIL's for the weekend, getting ready in case Wilma comes a bit further north, so I stopped and asked at Cutomer Service if this Wal-Mart will be closing at all for Thanksgiving. I was told they are open 24/7, except for Chr-tmas, so no worries on lining up outside here.

Right! I only have one Target locally, then next nearest one is 45 miles away. With gas prices being what they are, it would really have to be a good deal for me to drive nearly 100 miles round trip for a deal. Anyway, my Target seems to mark things down slower as well. This can come in handy, as many of the items seem to be forgotten about by those who read Target clearance message boards by the time they reach 50% off (about three weeks to a month later), so I don't have to rush right out for fear of competition after reading about a deal. I usually do anyway, but that's because I'll take any excuse to Perimeter Peruse Target.
