The Magic Bullet is at Linens and Things for $59.99 it has only been on sale $49.99 in the last six months. You can use a 20% off coupon the stores always have extra coupons this time of the year.

Linens and Things will take all Bed Bath and Beyond coupons even their expired coupons. This time of the year there are always flyers in the store with a coupon on the back. You can also sign up for the email coupons from the web site. BBB and Linens and Things aren't owned by the same company so they stay pretty competitive.

I am a manager for Linens and Things and we gladly accept any expired coupon from our competitors as well as our own. We use to have the 60 day policy but that was changed months ago. I have seen guest use coupons from as far back as 2005. You can use a coupon for every item you purchase if you have that many in hand.

Linens and Things have them for 29.99 and they always have 20% off coupons.

AMEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It is a shame that some time people get so involved in the rat race that they forget the real meaning for Christmas. ( So everyone, please when writing or speaking don't take Christ out of Christmas with that easy to write X-mas thing.

Why not fix her a nice basket with a pair of memory foam slippers, some foot lotions, and nice framed picture of her and your girls doing one of their routines.

How about an electonic journal, some cute PJ's, a new duffle bag with maybe some new dance tights and shoes in it. Last year I worked with alot of toys and the biggest request from little girls her age was for the password journal and music CD's. Hope this helps:)

Toys R Us is really bad about shipping anything that is over 12" or larger in the original box and plastering the labels where ever it lands. You would think they would put it in a brown box especially around Christmas time. They don't honor the online prices in the store because they no longer price match anyone and their theory is that once you pay shipping it will be the same price or higher if you just purchased it in the store. Sometimes it makes you wonder if it is just another way to get their allmighty dollar.

We have a real tree every year. I have always added a cup of sugar to the water about every three days. It seems to help keep the needles from drying out.

One year DH wanted an electric brad nailer so I bought a hammer and extension cord. I hot glued the cord to the hammer and gave it to him on Christmas eve. Everyone got a good laugh. Christmas morning he got the real one. I also did a pencil and an extension cord for a son who wanted a hundred dollar calculator.

Just got back from Target and got my BBQ pit. I also picked up five shirts for my son at $1.24 each, a six pack of socks for $2.24 reg. $9.99, and the ice shaver. :)

I think a coupon book with different chores EX: a night where DH cooks, five loads of laundry washed dried folded and put away, a top to bottom scrub of the bathroom of their choice etc. This would be the ideal gift and I could just pass the coupons out on those days or weeks where work has been brutal and I could use a break.

We have four cats. Two are just perfect babies the other two just love to bat the bottom ornaments on the tree. We are hoping this year will be better since they are all over a year old and seem to have gotten a little lazy. All I can say is have patience with them.

We buy all year long. On BF we pick up extras of the items that we can donate to the battered womens shelter. I have a spare bedroom that looks like a mini toy store. The neighbor kids sometimes ask if they can go shopping in the room with their allowance money. I laugh and let them pick something out and tell them to keep their money.

Darn my didn't have any:(
