I either get them at Kohls when I have a good coupon, or Famous Footwear when they have the B1G1 1/2 sale, coupled with a coupon. I did find a few pair on clearance at Target this summer, some with strings, and some without.

We will be purchasing 2 copies, probably one standard and one limited edition. I'm not sure about any of the other stuff. We will buy it on release day though, and it won't make it until Christmas...

Used to I would shop clearance all year, and would already have a nice stash by now. Now that the kids are older, that's hard to do. Now they usually just get a big something then little stuffs and clothes. Looks like 2 of them want Surfaces (Microsoft tablet) and the other wants a laptop. So that kinda cuts down on my early shopping! I would like to start on the little things and other family soon though, it's going to all come too fast! Guess I need to start thinking and making lists...

Like others have been reported, only BTS that was clearance was backpacks and lunch boxes. I got a lunchbox to add to my stash (thanks lovetoshopCA!). Everything else was all still in their spots, they hadn't started consolidating yet. They also had a few men's polos 50% off, which was nice since my husband starts a new job tomorrow, and he needed work clothes.

Oh nice, thanks! I like to stock up on lunch boxes, I have a child that goes through several a year. Although we have completed 3 weeks of school now and still have them all so far, yay! Target ones are my favorite because the handle has a latch and can be fastened to your backpack. That helps a lot.

Wish I had anything saved. Looks like everyone here is asking for Surface tablets, or a laptop. And my husband is about to take a new job at a slight pay cut (wish he had taken that severance pkg!) so I'm curious to see how I will pull off Christmas shopping. And with that wish list, not much BF shopping. But, I always manage to find something to buy! My favorite is the drug stores sales...

Yay you! He's going to be so excited! Let us know how it goes.

You will need to get a SlingLink Turbo to connect it to the router. The Xbox thing will not work. It does not work wireless. How this works is you plug the Slingbox into the device with a ethernet cord. You then plug the device into the power adapter on your wall. Then, you plug the router into the other part of the device (it comes in 2 parts) and then plug that into the wall. It uses the power lines in the wall to send the network signal. (I'm probably not explaining this quite right, but hopefully close enough). Here is the link on their website that explains the device. http://www.slingbox.com/go/slt My husband said that you can get something like this that is not official Slingbox, but he seemed to think it would cost more than this one. And I don't know what exactly it's called to search for it. Okay, here it is onNewEgg's site. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16815182001 A little cheaper too.

Ours is connected to our router. All of our -stuff- is all in one spot in the living room. The TV also doubles as the Xbox display, and sometimes also another computer monitor. Anyhow, what you will need is a power inline something. You plug the SlingBox into it, then plug that into a power jack in the wall (NOT a power strip). Then you do the same for the router. They sell non-sling branded ones at BB and places, or there is an "official" one on their site. http://www.slingbox.com/go/slt On more thing. The SlingBox is basically a controller for your DVR. So, when your husband is watching the Slingbox, it will occupy that TV. It will show what he is watching (if you turn it on). Hope this makes sense.

We have a Slingbox, and my husband uses it all the time. He loves it. He installed the app on the iPad, and walks around the house watching TV on the iPad... He will also watch while we're at my mom's for Sunday dinner. He watches both live TV and recorded things. He also has it on his phone, and sometimes will watch there too, or listen to a news show while he's in the car.

Oh yikes. Yeah, it seems the Nspire is the latest thing in the math world. I was talking to a math teacher this morning and he was saying that they are going to be using it more. It has software that the schools can purchase to go with it, and he said that they are about to have it installed for the entire math department. (I am the computer tech, so that's my job) I was surprised, because it seems to be a little more complicated than the TI-84. And my boys school still says 84 or 89, the 89 for higher maths. When my daughter had this teacher I was talking to, seems like she needed the Nspire for stat, but was fine with the other. But this was a few years ago. Good luck! Hope you find something!

Target has the TI-84 Plus Silver for $90 this week! They also have a trade-in program for your gently used graphing calculator. I should have done this, would have come out the same as my eBay purchase...

Well I just went last night just to make it easier and make sure. My kids start Tuesday, so I needed to get them now anyway. Good thing too, because they were pretty much out of what we needed. It was either get our 2nd choice of color, or drive 15 miles and get right color but bigger size... I remembered when we got home that last year they were nice and ordered me what I needed and shipped it free. Wasn't worth it to go back up there though.

FYI, when you print the coupon to use in store from the website, it expires 8/4. It has a different online code than posted above though.

Received my free sample this week. With a 10% coupon code included. The website is still advertising the free sample.

Here's a nice chart that should help. Looks like the only difference is customizable face plates. Surely there's gotta be somethign else different for the difference in price... http://education.ti.com/educationportal/sites/US/nonProductSingle/graphing_course_comparision.html

I just bought a TI-84 Plus, and 84 Plus Silver on eBay for around $50 each. They were both used, but that was okay with us. But be sure you read the description, and LOOK at the pictures very carefully... The non-silver was advertised as a silver, and I didn't catch it in the picture.

Looks like a neat store. How funny! Actually, that East Point store is only 23 miles from me... Hmmm

Yay, thanks! Been waiting on this sale. It's the only place local I can find the specific shoes my boys need for school, at a decent price.

70% at my 2 Targets. There was a pretty good selection at one store, signs still said 50%. The other was already pretty much wiped out at 50%. But still did well with the other stuff like foil, plates, cups, napkins, and cake mixes. Had a lot of fun shopping. Also got a couple pair of Converse for 70% too.

Not here either. I'll check again tomorrow morning. But our store was pretty much cleaned out already. There is still a lot of cake mixes and some of the other dessert stuff though, they didn't put a sign on that aisle. Thanks tinkrbel for your list, that will come in handy!

Nice, thanks! And their prices are a tiny bit cheaper than what I just paid on Amazon, so this might be our new place to buy them.

Hmmm That is odd. The only Kindles that were clearanced here were the 3G/wi-fi ones, the ones with the keyboard. Seems like there was another model that was still full price. I'll try to pay closer attention when I go back.

Kindles now to 30% at $13x.xx

I didn't see any safes today. I did however see some Kindles on Clearance, 15% I believe, $160.xx These were the wi-fi/3G flavor, with the keyboard. And a couple Kindles cases 50% off.
