Thank you! My mom was planning on getting my daughter a TV, and she has access to the Exchange. Wish ours hadn't closed, now the closest is 2 hours away... She is checking now to see if it can be ordered online. It says limited quantities.

Well, guess it just depends what you will use it for! We use our Windows tablets, even the RTs, way more than I ever used my Android tablet. That one just didn't grab me. It is even used more than the iPad was/is. The non-pros come pre-installed with Office, which is pretty awesome, since it updates. I love that my account syncs between the different devices I log into (which is 4-5 different Windows tablets...). The keyboard covers are great, even though I don't really use the keyboard much. I also have a Windows tablet with the Atom processor, and that does pretty much everything my computer does. In fact, I now go 2-3 weeks without even getting on my actual computer! The cost of those are between a Surface and Surface Pro. To me, Windows 8 is much smoother and easier to use, but that's just me. But everyone has their favorite platform/OS! I'm sure there's lots of people that will say the same things I said above about their Android/iPad!

Last year the Microsoft Store had a deal on the Surfaces. Buy the bundle, get a free keyboard I believe. Which worked well for us, because we actually now have 2 RTs and a Pro. That's probably the only place that may have a sale on those though. BB has last year's RT in the ad, really good deal. But the Pro definitely has advantages. We bought our 2nd and 3rd Surfaces at Best Buy, and then earned RZ certificates, so that was kinda like a sale.

Seems like our Thanksgiving paper usually has a coupon ($10 maybe) stuck on it.

Let There Be Light

We love our windows tablets, and last years Surfaces are a pretty good price right now. Best Buy will have them in the ad for $199. It is really really nice having office built in to the RTs, and it will always update to latest version. Comes in very handy for my kids doing school work.

Tablet - still trying to find out from my daughter what she wants, so I know exactly what I'll be looking for. Would like to find some bar stools for her, she just moved in a house. My mom is getting her a 32" tv. Anything for DS17, I am really at a loss on what to get him this year. Flash drives less than $10. And if I still have any money, some king size fleece sheets from Kohl's for me. And of course my usual shampoo, toilet paper, shaving cream, etc...

Go Tell it on the Mountain

The first time I tried, I had the option to ship to store. The second time, when I was finally able to grab it, I no longer had the option. It also had a longer ship/arrive date. Shipping wasn't too bad, but still would have rather had free. Oh well, just happy I got them!

My niece gave me her list today. A particular Pegasus from BAM Bacon Soap Pickle Lip Balm Then I told her about your daughter requesting pickles. Then... Oooh!!! Me too, I want pickles! And a coconut.

Got it!!! Yay!! And thanks for the advice to refresh, I probably would have given up and waited until tomorrow. 2 more gifts done!

I usually do it Thanksgiving weekend, not sure if I will change this year or not. Mama does hers Thanksgiving morning (or the night before), and decorates all the house except for the kitchen. After dinner the kitchen decorations go out.

Thanks, I am hitting refresh, and I emailed the link to myself so I can check on my phone!

Booo, as I was checking out, the message popped up that the diamond Steve went out of stock!

Oh my goodness, thank you! My nephew just told me this afternoon he wanted Diamond Armor Steve for Christmas, and that it was $30.99 at Books A Million... Now just waiting to find out which to get as the second one! Thank you!!!

I also have the 30% off, it printed sometime last week. I bought a DS game, maybe that triggered it. I am so hoping I can find something to buy. With 3 gamers in the house you'd think... Hopefully the Xbox One games they want will be out this week, I'll have to check dates. Other son wants one game that is old, and one that doesn't come out still for a while... Sigh...

Thank you for compiling this! I sent it to my mom (step-dad) and daughter(roommate). Hopefully they can take advantage of something. Here's another to add to the list. Red Lobster - Free Appetizer with Military ID 11/11-14

I usually do all the decorating. And we have way too much much stuff, and no one helps (or they get in my way and do it wrong). Last year I told my family I wasn't doing any decorating. They protested a little, and so I had them tell me what their favorite decoration was. So I made them help with that part, and then I picked my favorite stuff. Made me feel a little better about doing it.

Yay, me, I have gotten a few stocking stuffers finally! At least I can say I've started. Also got DS17 a comforter, not sure if it will be for Christmas or for when he goes to college.

Yay! Thank you! This one is always my favorite. I use this sale to stock up on toilet paper, detergent, and shampoo for the year!

Oooh, not sure I'm ready to see this list written down... DH DD22 DS17 DS14 Mama Step-dad Daddy Sister BIL Niece, 12 Niece, 10 Nephew, 9 Friend, husband, son (11) Small gifts for work people (4-5) Husband's younger cousins - 6 of them 2 dogs, cat And now today I've added daughter's new roommate and their cat and dog

I have 2 as well. DS14 is getting Xbox One, no clue what else, probably games and accessories for that. Last year he got a Surface, year before laptop. DS17 has no ideas right now. Last year was surface for him as well. And they both got phones. I will probably get him some college-ready stuff, comforter, dishes, foot locker... I'll be watching this post as well for more ideas.

What about some kind of chest, foot locker, etc. For memory stuff, start stocking up for college, or something of the sorts.

Oh no!! I don't combine birthday and Christmas either. I had meant birthday and graduation, since he graduates 3 weeks after his 18th birthday. But I do appreciate the lecture from a stranger, thanks for that, very friendly and helpful. I will buy my kids and family the latest and greatest if I want to, and when I want to. My daughters birthday is also very close to Christmas, so I know how that goes, and how to manage, thanks.
