  5. Depends on what you are looking for and who you have to buy for. I have used the binder method for several years, But I use binders on all the things I do.Heck you should have seen my cruise binder
  6. Yes those are for receipts
  7. My worst was Target three years ago, When the Store security put his hands on my then 10 year old and pulled her away from her sister who was behind me and 20 at the time, Accusing her at 10 of line cutting. Which they were not her had been in line for hours. Had all kinds of people getting nasty with security on her behalf. They were surprised when the local PD showed up because I was so annoyed with them that I called. I didn't buy the cart full of items and have not been back since, for anything.
  8. this is a never ending question that gets asked every year. It is not up to any one to decide if some one else who parents their children should or shouldn't take there children. I know a whole property or two of mom's who if they didn't take their children with them, then those children would get nothing.

  10. I have a binder that is cross referenced and tabbed, For price matching. All Items highlighted and second set of ads if needed. I am like a general sending the army out on Black Friday. We always get what we need, I also shop for several others. I used to just use lists, I used to use just a note book but forgot things and was frustrated
  11. Photo one It's midnight I'll just place my chairs here and wait in the car. Then I can just hurdle over the carts if some one comes. Photo Two Hey did you remember to bring money Photo Three No one move, I dropped my contact
  12. I was told when researching that Nook did not have this unless the books were already made for voice. As there is pending litigation on Kindle from authors who this is infringing on there copy rights on their books. Just as not all nook books are lendable, they have to be in agreement with the authors
  13. we both my daughter and I use covers on our nook
  14. The only problem I saw with the Kindle is, If your battery goes bad you have to send it in to be replaced. And then there is no guarantee you will get back the same kindle you sent in. The Nook if need be you can switch out the battery yourself. No matter which one you get, get the extended warranty. I have both versions of the nook. I myself have the 3 g and my 13 year has just a wfi nook
  15. Always a 1.00 short and a day late Congts winners

  17. I keep the previous years ads till the new ones come out, in my binder
  18. I made blankets last year fleece ones, I made angel wing ornaments one year and santa pins the next
  19. Oh heck I don't know just thought I would start whining early about winning. See Brad that would be a great contest Half Price books 10-6
