The 25% coupon was on the toy book I got in the mail. The books should be in the store today, and I would think they'd be on those too.

Yeah, my daughter had been eyeing the T Rex as well, and noticed a couple weeks ago with the $25/100 coupon that it was excluded from coupons. She had been hoping to get it during the 30% off toy sale if they do that again. We checked Amazon and they had a warehouse deal on it with a damaged box for I think $85, so we were going to continue to check there. Thanks for the info on the Kmart points! That's a nice deal. I'll let her know.

We've done holiday trivia, using an app on our phones to "click in" with the answers. Have everyone send in a picture of a Christmas decoration at their house, and have people guess whose it is. We've also done white elephant many times. But honestly, I despise that game and never participate. We also did something with wrapping paper once... But I can't remember that that was. I'll have to keep thinking about that one.

It says excludes video games., but not video game hardware... So I'm not real sure what the intentions are... Excludes video games, Nintendo LABO, LEGO, Fisher Price Imaginext Jurassic Rex, Thomas & Friends Super Station Trackset, Hot Wheels Corkscrew Crash Trackset and Barbie Dreamhouse.

I would LOVE someone to gift me a cleaning service!! Our friends gift us with Amazon Prime each year, which is really cool.

I love using the Kohl's wish list feature. Then when the sale goes live, I just run through the list adding everything to my cart!! Easy peasy!

Well... My drawer and extra cubby are over flowing... Guess I just need another cubby box!

Boo. But, the last several years most stores have done month long appliance sales, instead of confining to BF. So you'll just have to wait a few days from now for those sales to start. And you can concentrate on fun stuff for actual BF!

Thanks for the info on Kohl's and Penney's! I had not thought to look there. I got the 12 days Star Wars from Amazon last month. And I'm planning to get the kid sized ones for my grandson. The Marvel will be great for my son and BIL. And I am tempted with the Disney princesses at Kohl's. But I have too many socks already!

Tidy Cat cat litter, on sale at PetSmart. You'll want to be there close to opening, and be prepared for all the crazy cat ladies with 2 buggies full.

I received mine yesterday too.

Mostly I buy the $8.99 The Big One throws. Those are plush and big and soft. The $3.99 throws are by St. Nicholas Square. They are nice too, but not plush. I think those are close to the same size as the others. We usually buy those for the animals. But, I have already bought the gingerbread one for me this year. And because I have a problem... I have also bought the $14.99 ones, if they are the ones I'm thinking of. I think those are the Sherpa throws? Soft.

So sorry they are sideways.

I bought these for my sister last year and they were beautiful. They would be good for anyone with a kitchen, because who wouldn't love a set of nice and unique wooden spoons? They come in four colors. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B071RBVNNL/?coliid=IJ4R5IJO4Q4NQ&colid=ZG8AKK2A8PVX&psc=1&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it&th=1

I like to bake, but for sugar cookies I kinda cheat and use the Betty Crocker mix in the bags. Just remember to set your butter out to soften, and it's very easy and they turn out great.

It's 7.5' I believe. At least 7.

Definitely the tree from Home Depot. I think it's $79. I got in line about 5:15 am and was able to get one. (btw, if you've never done BF at Home Depot, they know now to do it. Coffee, doughnuts, and an outdoor heater!) It was also available online the year I got mine, but I was too impatient to wait for shipping. You might could do store pickup though. It sold out online before I left at 5am to head out, so you'd want to order when it goes live.

Yes. It looks like the coupons are the same. You can get to the Kids site from the main site. https://www.michaelskids.com/

Michael's also launched a new website as well, michaelskids.com I believe. They are (were) running specials when it launched last week or the week before, and I had a coupon print out at the register. I think though the websites are still linked and attached.

Thanks! I may go ahead and grab that tomorrow then. I had no reference as to what to expect for price. My dad currently rents out a room. He has access to a kitchen, but he won't use it. I thought this might be good to use in his room for beans and rice and such.

I know what you mean. I got my Mickey loving grandson some Mickey Duplos during the Lego summer sale. When he hit 3 1/2, he switched to loving dinosaurs! Oh well, he'll still like building them. I'm still having to wait on my kids big things too. The things I have or will get early are controllers (the one he wants was discontinued), makeup (Ulta coupon good on Prestige brands!), Kohl's blanket, and a room decoration. And I hit the Target Lego sale for dino and super hero Duplos. I had my mama's picked out, but then she bought it.

I have already bought a few things, either things I've been watching and the price dropped, or things with KC or Target GC and a sale. Next is a handmade item, and it's from Poland, so I'll need to get that ordered soon and out of the way. Right now though I'm debating on the tiny Instant pot. I think I figured it will be about $42 right now (I have KC to spend) and I don't think I recall one being under $40 last year. So I may grab it now.

It's the wondrous thingie that makes those adorable little tiny cookies in different shapes that often get decorated with sugar sprinkles. You squeeze the dough through a tube with a disc on the end that makes it into different shape. Think of the play-doh extruders, except it only dispenses the amount for one cookie. Oh, that was a lot of confusing words. Here's a link so you can see. https://www.amazon.com/OXO-Grips-Cookie-Stainless-Storage/dp/B00ABH0PYI/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1539666152&sr=8-3&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&keywords=cookie+press&dpPl=1&dpID=41jQLDZb-2L&ref=plSrch

Yummy! I can't wait until cookie and candy making time! If anyone has a sugar cookie recipe for the cookie press, I would love to hear it. Family doesn't like the normal butter/spritz cookies, but I like using my cookie press. I tried a couple different non-press recipes last year, but they were dry or sticky and didn't play nicely with the press.

I noticed in the toy book Brad posted on the site that it said toys weren't eligible for coupons, and that most of the toys said +extra 15% off beside them, so I guess it's a current promo. I also noticed when I was getting some toys last week, but just figured it was that particular brand. I didn't realize it was all toys forever. Interesting. Thanks for pointing it out. Hopefully they will have some comparable promos and deals for holiday shopping. If not, I either wont buy as many toys (which is probably a good thing!), or I will save those to spend my kohls cash on after Thanksgiving. I always end up with a lot, and nothing to spend it on since I bought everything I wanted during Thanksgiving sale. Husband just had a good point. With TRU gone, they could have more of the market, and toys must not have too high markup or TRU might have been doing better. Also, with TRU gone, that's probably the reason they brought on Legos. Lego needed more places to sell to.
