Depends on what you will need the extra space for. That's an external hard drive, about the same size as the iPad. Not super portable. With the tablets with SD slots, you can expand the memory or the device without lugging around extra stuff. For example. My son had a interview/video project to do. His Thrive has only 8GB. We stuck a SD card in there, and when that 8GB filled up during the interview, he started saving onto the SD card. Same thing when he went to Washington DC. We just made sure he had a big enough SD card, and he could take all the pictures and videos he wanted without anything extra. That wouldn't have worked with an external drive. He would have had to get the drive out and transfer everything over before he could start using his device again. (And it would have been an additional thing for him to keep up with, which is a challenge!) But, if you use your device mostly somewhere calm like at home, and you can have something else plugged into it, then this would be a good solution to storing pictures, videos, and music. Just depends on what you need it for! Like I mentioned earlier, we have both Android tablets and iPads. They each have their "things". Son wanted an iPad, until he got his Thrive, and now we've even offered to switch with him, and he wouldn't. Just depends on your needs and preferences.

Yes, I would check Target. I got mine there a few years ago, and am still using it. They have different designs there now. People are all the time asking if it's my purse... It's a good size, and I like that it has a pocket on the front.

I'm thinking of getting one for my son. His other Kindle died after only 14 months. Other son's Kindle also died shorlty after, but he has a Toshiba Thrive so no need to get him another tablet. He will probably get another normal Kindle for when he wants to e-ink. But for youngest son, this might be an option. His birthday is in 2 weeks, and I was hoping for a sale like this. I just hope they still have them available this afternoon so I can ask him first. I also just got a Galaxy Tab 2 when they came out. I'm not a very gadgety person, and I don't listen to music, watch movies, or read much. So I didn't really have a need for it. (gift from husband, who is gadgety) I really like having a tablet more than I thought I would, although so far pretty much the only thing I've done with it is play Draw Something, as that's the only thing my phone won't do. Hopefully I'll start being a fun person and start using it more.

I actually think they stopped that a while back. Here is a link to the online return policy, and nothing is mentioned about restocking fee. And I'm not sure they ever charged one on appliances. http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Help-Topics/Returning-Online-Purchases/pcmcat260800050014.c?id=pcmcat260800050014 Okay, here we go. No restocking fees. http://news.cnet.com/8301-13506_3-20026140-17.html

Thanks!

I didn't need much Easter stuff, already have way more candy than we need, and way WAY more plastic eggs. But I did get a pack of paper plates, some bubbles for nieces and nephew, and my favorite find, a silicone flower pot cupcake making set! Still no soda stream mix, have checked 2 stores now. Oh well.

One of our local stores is on the list. I hate that, as I know several people that work there. It's not my closest store, it's about 30 minutes away, but it's usually 3rd on my list if I'm looking for something. So sad.

Ohhh... Thanks! I'll look more then. I did a quick in and out as I had son and husband with me, and you know how that goes...

No soda stream marked down for us yet. Maybe soon. I have another store to check this weekend too.

Oh yay, thanks for this! Sure could use these!

It does not work with Safari. I read that, then tried it anyway, and yep, it didn't work! But the form went through fine using Firefox. Thanks!

I soooo don't need to buy any more candy! But those prices are hard to resist. I guess if they make it in time, I can return what I already bought to Target... If not, I'll just eat all the Reese's myself.

If you want a new instead of refurb, they are on sale at Best Buy this week for $187.99 for 8gb. I just got one from Woot for my son's birthday. Breaks my heart as we are not an iPod family. We all have had Zunes for years and years (we've had at least 1 of each gen), and we all have Windows Phones. However, we also have an iPad, and when his Kindle stopped working a few weeks ago, we let him take the iPad to school because his book they were studying for English was on there. He got attached to it, and started asking for an iPad for his birthday. Turns out he really was just interested in the games. He was playing with his friends and their iPods, plus after tests they are allowed to play on iPods, but not phones, which is where all his music and games were. So this will be basically just for game playing, so I'm thrilled to find a deal on it.

Thanks for the heads-up! I'll look out for it.

Yay! Thank you!

I went to my not-normal-store today, and they had taken all the Bodega stuff down, and scattered it on the end caps in the appropriate sections. Everything I saw though was still at 15%. Also, the heaters still had 30% off signs. A few were still 30% (according to sticker, I didn't scan), most were 50%, and the 2 packs (which is what I was after anyhow) were 70%. I also saw the dog toys on dinner platters at 50%. They had fruit plates and fish dinner. Also was excited to find the Kraft Mac and Cheese 3 packs (Cars, Spongebob, and Phineas and Ferb) for 50%, $1.48. My 12yo has just started eating a box in 1 sitting...

I was in this same boat before Christmas. I was just about to buy the Dell mentioned above, they had some coupon codes and some other promo going on which would have brought it to just under $700, that was a good deal. I decided to look at Best Buy one more time, and they had a couple models they were clearancing out, and I happened to find one of those also in their open box case that had been the floor model. Pair that with the open-box promo they were running and I ended up with a half-price laptop. Anyhow, if you can be a little patient, you might could find a clearance and/or open box deal like that. I'm not sure when laptop "seasons" are and when they switch them out for new ones, but someone at the store might have some ideas.

Actually depends on the baby. I had a 8 pound, but skinny baby. He wore newborn diapers for over 2 months, and was still wearing some preemie clothes at 3 months. But, yes, normally, they outgrow everything very fast! And stocking up on bigger sizes is never a waste.

Thank you!! I was in desperate need of glue!! I sent my husband through the line with the coupon, and I went through with my phone! Sent from my Radar 4G using Board Express

Second on the Thrive. Got my DS15 one for Christmas, and he loves it. Has camera, gps, and also full size SD slots, HDMI, and USB. We bought him a case with a keyboard in it, and he can take it to school to take notes, and it's like having a netbook, then he uses it like a tablet at home. He puts his comic books on it, and his Kindle books as well. He has the smaller one (8GB), and is doing fine on space so far. My husband has offered him a couple times to switch it with his iPad. He didn't go for that...

Mostly stocking. For a short while I was actually a straightener, they would assign me an area and I would do nothing all night but straighten, and there were others that unloaded trucks, others that stocked. Sometimes areas are rearranged and new displays set up. Sometimes we came in at 10 or 11, sometimes not until 1 or 2 am. The clearance people would come in very early, about 4 or 5 I think. There was also a cleaning crew that worked all night, but that was a separate company, not employed by Target.

Well... You bought 2, one for now, one for the trip!

Those cinnamon sugar almonds are YUMMY! I have been eating them for breakfast all week!

Got two tape dispensers (someone had already got the 1 pack of tape I found last night), 3 boxes of boxers, and a set of men's slippers. Also caved and got a little bitty desktop tree for $.50, and a little cannister of chocolate covered pretzels. Yum! Met another nice lady, and shared the tape dispensers with her, she also got 2. I love helping others find deals!

Well, I couldn't stand the suspense, so had my husband take me up there tonight. Still 70%, like I suspected it would be, as this store went 70% on Saturday. I didn't feel like going to the other store that went 70% on Friday, they were probably 90% today. I'll check tomorrow. I found 1 pack of tape, 1 bag of Legos, and some flannel boxers. But I didn't buy any of them. I'll get them tomorrow if they are around.
