  1. Unfortunately it's no longer available. http://www.thestreet.com/story/11770307/1/amazon-drops-monthly-prime-pricing.html?cm_ven=GOOGLEN I am wondering if they were worried people would sign up just for the holidays and cancel. Perhaps monthly will come back after the holidays.
  2. Why not get the brown one? Any reason other that it is brown?
  3. What Lowes ad? I didn't see a Lowes ad posted yet.
  4. The Home Depot ad doesn't say what time they opened on BF. I called my local store and the manager said that he thought they were opening at the normal time 7:00am, the time they normally open, but he didn't sound to sure. Does anyone know if they open early?
  5. We were at Walmart today and they had frozen geese for sale. Has anyone eaten goose? What does it tase like? Is is similar to duck? Any advise for cooking it? We are thinking of geting one to try.
  6. What is an affiliate account and what is it's significance?
  7. Just not in the tent I hope. If you spill any oil it's going to melt the tent.
  8. Practicing his mad nunchuck skills?
  9. I would like that brine recipe also. I agree that brining is definitely the way to go. We usually have 3-4 turkeys a year. Brining not only brings a lot of flavor, but makes the meat really moist. We try new recipes all the time but usually go with Alto Brown's Good Eats recipe at Thanksgiving. Good Eats Roast Turkey 1 (14 to 16 pound) frozen young turkey For the brine: 1 cup kosher salt 1/2 cup light brown sugar 1 gallon vegetable stock 1 tablespoon black peppercorns 1/2 tablespoon allspice berries 1/2 tablespoon candied ginger 1 gallon iced water For the aromatics: 1 red apple, sliced 1/2 onion, sliced 1 cinnamon stick 1 cup water 4 sprigs rosemary 6 leaves sage Canola oil Combine all brine ingredients, except ice water, in a stockpot, and bring to a boil. Stir to dissolve solids, then remove from heat, cool to room temperature, and refrigerate until thoroughly chilled. Early on the day of cooking, (or late the night before) combine the brine and ice water in a clean 5-gallon bucket. Place thawed turkey breast side down in brine, cover, and refrigerate or set in cool area (like a basement) for 6 hours. Turn turkey over once, half way through brining. A few minutes before roasting, heat oven to 500 degrees. Combine the apple, onion, cinnamon stick, and cup of water in a microwave safe dish and microwave on high for 5 minutes. Remove bird from brine and rinse inside and out with cold water. Discard brine. Place bird on roasting rack inside wide, low pan and pat dry with paper towels. Add steeped aromatics to cavity along with rosemary and sage. Tuck back wings and coat whole bird liberally with canola (or other neutral) oil. Roast on lowest level of the oven at 500 degrees F. for 30 minutes. Remove from oven and cover breast with double layer of aluminum foil, insert probe thermometer into thickest part of the breast and return to oven, reducing temperature to 350 degrees F. Set thermometer alarm (if available) to 161 degrees. A 14 to 16 pound bird should require a total of 2 to 2 1/2 hours of roasting. Let turkey rest, loosely covered for 15 minutes before carving.
  10. This is what we have every year Thanksgiving: Turkey Stuffing Mashed Potatoes Sweet Potato Casserole Jolly Green Giant Boil in the bag corn with butter sauce Christmas Eve: Waffles Christmas Day: Rib Roast (Usually Smoked, but this year I won't have my smoker ) Baked Potatoes New Years Day: Fondue (This is a tradition my wife wants to start. I think we should do it New Years Eve and do something different New Years Day. Maybe ham)
  11. Play Mafia or Psychiatrist. Nothing to buy and a lot of fun. http://www.bluepineapple.com/partygames/
  12. So what did you get him? Personally if I could afford it I would like to get myself a Taylor, but I dont have $1,000 to put down on one.
  13. Check out Sam's Club and Cosco. They have some stainless sets for under $100
  14. I would look at local guitar music stores that sell used guitars. You will be able to get a better deal buying used and you will be able to talk to someone that knows what they are talking about. Avoid the guitars that sell for less than a $100 at Walmart.
  15. It depends on your location. Call the Best Buy you intend to go to to find out when the line formed last year.
  16. Walmart will price local competitors. How close is considered local. I want to price match an item from Circuit City but the closest one is 60 miles away. Is 60 miles local?
  17. Here is a good video showing the differences.
  18. I have never herd of a company getting items to mach a competitor.
  19. I should ad that this does no apply to door buster items, but the 22" Westinghouse monitor isin't a doorbuster item
  20. I think that you are confusing price matching of items from a competitor and price matching of an item that goes on sale letter at Best buy. The Best Buy Price Guarantee Exclusions: The Best Buy Price Guarantee does not apply to our or our competitors' free offers, limited-quantity items, open-box items, clearance items, mail-in incentives, financing or bundle offers. The policy does not apply to typographical errors or a competitor's price that results from a price match They will not price match limited-quantity items and because almost all items on black Friday are limited quantity items they will not price other competitors on black Friday. What if I find a lower price at another Best Buy store or on BestBuy.com? If an item you purchased at Best Buy is advertised at a lower price at another Best Buy store in your local area or on BestBuy.com within 30 days of your original receipt purchase (14 days for select categories*), we will refund you 100% of the price difference. Simply bring in your original Best Buy receipt to the customer service counter while that lower price is still in effect. Clearance items, open-box items or Web-exclusive offers advertised on BestBuy.com are not eligible for price matching. According to this they will refund you the difference if an item you buy that latter goes on sale, but you have to bring in your receipt while the sale in in effect. If you have any doubts I would phone the store manager at Best Buy and ask them. Worst case though return the item and turn around and buy it at the sale price.
  21. Does anyone know what page is #9 in the Circut City ad. The ad says to see page 9 for details on the vonage offer but I can't find pare 9.
  22. You can go with any of the low end desktops and add a external hard drive if you need more srorage.
  23. You might want to skip the hot chocolate to avoid bathroom breaks, and add hand-warmers.
  24. Yeah but it is hard to type and hold the monitor on it's side at the same time. Especially a 22" wide screen.
