  1. Thanks, but this is for the kid to take to college. We don't do that much printing. In fact, the last color printer we bought so that we could print something on fabric for a costume (the fabric didn't play nice with the laser printer), was used just that once and the ink dried up before we used it again. My color laser printer has been amazing for when I have a once a year project (shower or birthday decorations). And the toner doesn't dry out like ink. But seriously my boys print almost nothing, and when they do it's a paper for school. I bought the $29 dell laser staples had a few years ago and it's still on it's original cartridge. So I think this will be a good match for us.
  2. Okay cool, they have a $50 laser printer that I wanted. So now I don't have to worry about office depot. SP4 $200 off is pretty good, seems to be the standard this year. And of course, the penny paper!
  3. I'll go for the tidy cats (no Meijer here), and dog treats. I always say I will get dog food, but then always seem to talk myself out of it. Mama will get new collars for some of her animals. Since lately I've done most of my shopping online and have it about done by the time Friday actually rolls around, PetSmart is where I seem to spend the most money in person. There and Walgreens.

    New Recipes Wanted

    So I didn't know what a spritz cookie or a cookie press was until you posted this. You'll be tickled to know that me and my friend went shopping tonight, and BOTH came back with an oxo cookie press, and will be making these cookies! I am so excited, thank you!
  5. Yup, same here. And it is 64 bit OS, so that limitation isn't there.
  6. It is soldered. http://psref.lenovo.com/Detail/Lenovo_Yoga_2_11?M=59446360 Now I don't have to go apart things!
  7. Y'all have me curious about the memory... I'll have to take apart some yogas in the next few days! Y'all have me curious about the memory... I'll have to take apart some yogas in the next few days!
  8. There's a small laser printer for $50... If this was a store I went to I may think about that. Hoping someone else will have a similar deal, would be great to send with my boys heading to college next year.
  9. Two years ago in November my daughter moved into a house, so I was in the same boat, buying appliances for her Christmas. This coming fall it looks like both my boys may be moving out for college, so I may be getting them a few things for that. Already got the older boy and daughter Keurig's from a kohl's sale a few weeks ago. Nice when we can get it all for good prices!
  10. I know the guys have weighed in already, on memory and such. But I wanted to talk about the base machine.Lenovo makes pretty good laptops. Most of my experience is with the business version though, but the home version is good too, just built with some different specs as far as the sturdibility of the cases. We have many of the larger yogas in our school system, and they are well liked and do well. I have one that I use when I need a laptop, and I'm really happy with it. We also have given a different version of the yoga (11e yoga) to an entire student body in one of our high schools. They are doing great for their use. The same features you are wanting: Small size, tablet mode, etc. My mom happens to have an earlier version of the yoga you posted, she's had it probably 3 years now, and it's still doing great. It's a nice size for just basic casual stuff. So I think it would be great for your daughter as a secondary device. Especially if it comes back at that $299 price from when you first posted. Or maybe you can find one better, with more memory and just a little more cost.
  11. Kanyon, there's your $250 off SP4 bundle.
  12. Go check on the Smartthings forums on their site. Lots of good info there, including talk on the integration of the Harmony hub and smart things. They play well together.https://community.smartthings.com/
  13. We are finding a lot of things compatible. It seems to be working out well. The app even works with Windows phones!
  14. That's why I just bought the hub and 2 bulbs to start with. Those were fun to play around with to get started. The little toggle switch we installed yesterday is pretty cool, it doesn't stay in an up or down position, it stays in the middle and you push it up or down, and it goes back to middle. That way we can use regular bulbs outside , and control both lights with one smart switch. Let me know of you have any questions!
  15. That comes out to $40 for a year... I usually can find the 1 year on ebay for about $36-38. So that takes some pressure off, and you don't have to find something to spend $15ecb on.
  16. Smartthings had a sale last weekend, and Amazon also ran the same sale. I bought our smart things hub last year, and I really can't remember if there was a sale, I'm pretty sure there was, seems like $50 off a kit. I ended up getting just the hub from amazon warehouse deals. We've had it since last Christmas, and husband has fiddled a little with it, but just this past week he has really got serious. We are now utilizing a smart bulb, smart outlet (my Christmas tree will be plugged into this so it will come on when I get home!!), the porch lights are on a smart toggle outlet, and the door knob also uses the presence sensor. Last week it only integrated with the nest, so he's been busy! I would be sure to check the smart things store and Amazon. I saw a hub at home depot last night. But I know Amazon seems to mirror the ST store sales.
  17. Yay, some pretty good freebies and deals in there. Seems like the last couple years they did most of the freebies the beginning of the week instead of Thanksgiving.
  18. Just noticed... Nike sale starts Sunday, and the Converse sale doesn't start until Wednesday. In case either of those were on your list. And also no coupons on those, but you can earn Kohl's cash.
  19. Y'all are awesome, thank you!
  20. So the gray boxes are the doorbusters, which usually say in store only. But I notice this year they say in store and online which is nice. But has anyone found the fine print that says what time that part starts online? (my eyes aren't so good anymore!) It says ending time is 1pm. Maybe they start 6pm eastern since that's when the first stores open?
  21. Yeah, but they aren't as cool as the other from TV. I did realize though that the 10' cord won't be long enough for what I was planning, so I found a longer one at Amazon. Amazon FTW!
  22. Okay, no cute candy cane cords... But the table is cheaper (with card) than True Value, and that's a pretty great price on the rolling tool chest, which was actually on my list to look for. And the bird feeder ornaments are too cute!!! Plus b2g2 bird seed.
  23. The day or weekend after thanksgiving usually. Last year I think it was a week later, I just wasn't in the mood, and the rest of the houses didn't get decorated until a couple days before Christmas! I can't do it before, I need to do one holiday at a time. That's how mama always did. What's funny though, is she now puts it up the weekend before thanksgiving, and all the other decorations too. Except the kitchen. After thanksgiving dinner, we switch it from thanksgiving to Christmas. I hope I'm in a better mood this year and decorate again. The candy cane extension cord from True Value will be my motivation!
  24. I use the shopping lists here on Gotta Deal. Make notes of coupons and such, then just print them out. It has store hours printed with the list, so that's helpful too.
  25. Sadness... I no longer have a local store. Closest is about 40 minutes away in either direction. I'll have to ponder this.
