LOL I'm right there with you stationchief

We are traveling this year so anything I get in stores has to be small enough that the kids wouldn't notice. Anything bigger than a suitcase and a good deal with shipping, I'll be buying online this year. This will be the first year I buy anything online on BF I usually like to see in person what exactly I'm getting.

Thanks Brad I love Old Navy. Don't usually go on BF there, I might this year though.

oooh Thanks for letting us know. I wondered when they were doing it, I thought it was around the same time as ToysRUS big book.

Thanks for posting this, not too excited over this ad.

TY Brad I'm going to be picking up a few things next week for DS BDay.

I keep checking back to see if it's up yet. I think I'm ready to do some shopping. :) Looking for deals on some leapfrog items.

Yeah! I'm so excited I can't wait! To me it's the start of planning on what I want to buy.

I believe it comes out on the 28th, this coming Sunday.

We'll be in Wichita Ks visiting relatives this will be my first time not being able to get any big items (we're driving and with three kids it's going to be hard to try and hide them)

Last year I spent around 600-800 dollars. This year will be the first time I won't be able to buy big items so I guess I won't be spending that much unless it's small. (We'll be in Kansas for thanksgiving for the first time in 10 years. We're driving so with three kids it'll be hard to hide any big presents.)

My target is finally 75% off here in Issaquah WA the toys are still just 30% off. Things are tight after Christmas so I only got a couple of things. Waiting on DH paycheck and the toy clearance! LOL

It's a hit or miss at my Target too tjarena. Sometimes I just pick odd times to go like first thing in the morning on a wed or thurs and I'll find a few things. My target is currently 50% off too and toys were not as cheap as posted on here. Did pick up two spark art add on packs for the art easel, org. 4.99 marked down to 3.48. Not a big markdown but I was wanting this for my youngest two.

A Walmart that I don't go to very often in Renton WA had 7 of these all marked 35. It was packed but nobody seemed interested. I was very tempted but alas have no room for it, and we already have a big little tikes house indoors. My husband just rolled his eyes and said we would have to put it on the roof, lol. So I passed on it but good luck to everyone else who is looking for this.

I would bring outlet covers and the gates. Thankfully when we go (we go every other year to KS) my in-laws do think of my little ones and when we go to relatives houses when we're there, I don't leave them alone and when it's something breakable I usually will just pick it up and put it up high. And I mention it to them later so they know where it is and they are usually happy that I did that. (better than having it broken!) lol especially with my three active ones :)

This is too funny. Especially with all the deliveries I've been getting from UPS in the past week.

I am going through this exact same thing. I wish I could give some good advice but I'm having the same trouble. DS #1 is getting expensive small gifts, DS, DS games, digital camera, his one big (as far as present size) gift is a roboraptor. DS #2 and DS #3 wants a lot of the same things so they are getting a few big items together and some individual big items and smaller stuff. My goal tonight is to go in my garage tonite and stack up all of their gifts and compare. Right now I feel like I've spent more money on my oldest but I think the younger two have more to open. I'm trying to even it up but if I buy my one something I feel like I have to even it out with the others. Not done with all the shopping yet either, still have some small stuff to get and one big thing, a kitchen for the little ones. (Hopefully one that isn't pink :) )

K'nex are wonderful, just like legos they can build and also use their imagination or build using the diagrams. I have regular K'nex and also the younger style for my little ones. I suggest getting the big bucket of them because my boys tend to like to make their own and not use the diagrams. (they also tend to scatter like legos but well worth the money) :)

I agree this year's ads weren't as good as previous years. Last year we got home around 4pm, this year we were home by noon. (We have to drive about 30 min to get to any good stores.) I did get a few good deals but I spent quite a bit less this year and unlike last year have a lot more shopping to do.

My best deal was getting the roboraptor that was on sale at Sharper Image (their ad was in the newspaper) for only $30 by pricematching at Walmart. Saved $50! The clerk couldn't believe it.LOL Also got the free camera for my DS from CC.

:) It was 400 for me too untill you put in in your cart and start the checkout process. It's 15% off of your order of $400 or more of any EnA product.

Thank you so much for posting this. I got the 360 , two extra wireless controllers and a remote for 479.97 I saved 77.85 with the 15% off and with free shipping I saved another 19.00 Yeah now DH is done!

ditto

I agree Target and Toysrus and Walmart are the ones I'm waiting for.

My husband thinks I'm nuts but I'm so excited to see this movie. I'm hoping to see it in the theater but getting three active boys to sit still through a non animated cartoon may not work we might at least give it a try though.
