Happy October! It's only 88 here, with an expected high of about 92, so we're cooling down compared to the last couple days!

They did. I think it was about $50 off. I dont remember if I actually got it from Best Buy or Amazon, but I do remember Amazon had matched the price.

Yes, the colors are really pretty! But that one won't serve the purpose my son wants it for, as it doesn't hook to a display (or so I'm told). So the big one it is.

Youngest wants a 3D printer. Preferably kit form, with a 12x12 plate. It's hard to find deals on things that are so specific, but I'd love to find one around $350. I also could be needing a Switch, so $250ish would be great for that.

Woohoo! Nice number to start counting down from! I already have 2 toys bought for my grandson, and one small thing for my friend, along with some yarn that will hopefully become some blankets, and of course I've started the Kohl's blanket stash. I know 2 things I'll get youngest son, and what big thing I'll get my daughter. So I'm making progress!

I'm not a "fun" person, so I dont really like playing tricks too much. I've given cash in a new wallet, or a zipper pouch. See, no fun. But I do like the idea of the money inside the advent calendar. This isn't the same situation, but a few years ago I had about 15 Target promo GCs I was going to give my daughter for her baby shower, and was struggling with a cute presentation. The room we were using happened to have an undecorated Christmas tree in it (it was November and was going to be decorated after our event). So I tied up the gift cards, baby socks, and other small items and decorated the tree. You could do that with cash too

I'm pretty much the same as Len. I wish I would save some each month... but I dont. I'm a little worried because we are adding a car payment in November. But, we aren't paying as much for tuition/housing this year, so hopefully that should even out. Typically I spend about $1000 on bf, with a good chunk of that at Kohl's.

Oh my! We are setting records for high temps here, 2 days in a row at 99*!

Yes, every item that offered 1 day shipping has arrived the next day. And you're right, there are quite a few items available now. When it first started you had to have $35 of eligible items, but that restriction seems to be lifted. I ordered something today mid-morning that is set to arrive tomorrow.

Oh thanks! Yay.

I just went and did a quick search on eBay and came up with several. I usually shop Home Depot because it's closer, but I'll have to keep this coupon in mind for big purchases. Thanks Brad for the heads up!

Every year I have such good intentions, and say "this is the year!" Maybe this year will be it! I'll do it towards the end of September. I have fall table settings I'll leave out until Thanksgiving. My kids are all grown now too, so I dont do a lot for Halloween. I wouldnt mind, just never get motivated. Usually I'm rummaging around in the halloween box when I get home from work on halloween to find the lighted pumpkins and candy bowl!

Haha, yep! A few weeks back I was able to get them for about $9 each so I jumped. And I'm so glad I did, as 3 of the designs are no longer available! One is Halloween, one is for me, one for my daughter's birthday (she gets one for birthday and Christmas), and one for my grandson because I can't give his mom one and not him. There are a couple of the fall designs I am eyeing, as I actually don't have any fall throws.

Happy September! I need to wait a little longer before I'm ready to decorate for fall. 3rd-4th week of September then I'll start thinking about it, when it's officially fall... I'm hoping to have motivation this year to actually do a few things, but we'll see if anything more than a wooden pumpkin and a few candles actually make it out. Have already bought my first 4 kohls blankets though!!

I think yesterday the Daily Deal was home things. I know the throws are higher today than yesterday.

As someone that works in the technology department of my school system... I completely understand. We are in our 3rd week of school, and I'm still stressed. But last week I only cried during the work day twice, and only cried myself to sleep (at 3am!) once, so it's getting better! Just remember... we gotta FEED the children! Even in technology, we go by that. If the computer goes down, write it down, but the babies have to eat. Hugs!

20 weekends until Christmas. Sounds like a good milestone to make a schedule. Concentrate on 1 person a week. 1 gift a week. Alternate between a stocking and gift. In my case, I'd like to make 10 blankets, and although they *could* be made in a weekend, 2 is more realistic. I better get knitting!

Just moved kid #3 into the 3rd college housing in 3 years. 6th time moving a kid in, hopefully the last!

Happy August. Not only is today the first day for my school system, but it's also move in day for my youngest for college. The first day of school was about the worst day to have to be off. That just means a lot of catching up tomorrow!

School starts tomorrow. I am hoping I have all the things done and ready for the students to come back. I am exhausted though!

I bought 4 last night. Even paying shipping they were just a little over $9, close enough to BF to know those are bought! And that I won't miss out on those prints.

I got cat treats, some ink pens, and a garage door opener. I didn't get anything last year. Prime day is very overwhelming for me. Not to mention this week is the start of crazy at work so it's hard to shop.

Um... that's in my cart too. I might chicken out on it though!

HOORAY! I got it! And if anyone was wondering, it's not limited to 1 set (I got 4 shirts). And guess what?! They now will print to order their old designs. There's a shirt my husband has been wanting, one of the first ones, but it hasn't been available (to be fair, I haven't looked in years). But I was able to get that too. He's going to be so surprised. Now I want to go look back through ALL the shirts!

Alright... I'm just gonna come back to this later... safer for everyone and everything involved! It's now telling me that my Amazon password is incorrect, even though it signed me in just a couple hours ago!
