Our daughter wants a DS so I will be on the hunt for a good deal on one. Also hoping for some good sales on Wii games.

We will be spending less because we will have less money.

I missed out on most of BF last year because I had to work. Threw everything off for me since that was the first time in over 10 years that I missed BF. Only got to go to 1 store last year. Not missing it this year.

I think you just nailed it. No matter how good or bad the ads are someone will always post: I can't wait for the BF forum to open!

A couple years ago I found a set of dishes at Walmart that I really liked and wanted so hubby bought them for me. They are the home trends brand and have held up very well with daily use/microwave/dishwasher.

We went to a Sears store in Delaware last week and got our kids new winter coats. Normal price was $95 each and we paid $15 each. Also picked up bath robes and gloves/hat sets for the kids pretty cheap too.

Once in awhile toysrus will have a 25% off sale on the remotes. They had one a few weeks ago that was for 2 days only.

Yup we do stockings. "Santa" fills the kids stockings and I fill hubbys and my mom stockings. Hubby will fill my stocking.

I also noticed that alot of the toys we bought, still need to buy are cheapier at Toys R US. Only a few items were cheapier at Walmart.

Our daughter's school is doing trunk or treat. All the parents who signed up for this meet at the choosen location with your kids (the student AND siblings) dressed in their costumes. You also being enough treats with you for each child there. The school is proving us with the number children that will be there so we know how many treats to bring. All parents will be parking their cars in a large circle or square with the trunks facing inwards. All the kids will go trunk or treating to all the cars. Parents are to supervise that no children leave the enclosed area like trying to slip in between cars. This way all the kids can go trick or treating with their friends in a safe and supervised manner.

The Kitchen Aid mixer for $159.99 is a great deal. We just bought one over the weekend for almost double that price. Too bad I need the mixer now otherwise we would have returned it and waited until BF.

We give our daughters school bus driver a $10 Gift card to local convience store. This way she can stop to get coffee or what ever she wants. I found that some people can't have chocolate or other sweets due to food allergies or diabetes. She is aways grateful for the GC.

LOL! It was an honest mistake. I checked the malls events and they do not have anything posted for November yet. With all the consruction going on at this mall I am not sure if they will hold this event this year.

Are there any games for the wii he wants? What about a video gamer chair? DVD? Ipod or mp3 player? Board games - there are great scene it one out there.

That was last year. I don't think they have posted anything yet for this year. The mall is currently under alot of construction.

Thanks Brad and Thanks to whoever sent it to you!!!!!

I just called the 2 different Toys R us stores near me and both stated that the big toy book sales starts Oct 26th.

Thanks! May have to head over there and check it out!

We are about 40% done christmas shopping and have already bought some new ornaments and out door decorations.

We go shopping every year regardless of their sale. We didn't go a few years ago and the rest of the day just felt off. So it has become tradition to go.

It depends on the sales, what we need to get and how much money we have. Some years we are done by lunch time and other years we do not finish until dinner time.

Our daughter (7 y.o.)wants: Hannah Montana Concert Stage and dolls Littlest petshop toys CD's - hannah montana and jonas brothers Wii games Our son is only 2 but he loves trains.

We will be spending less and going to as many stores as we had in the past. Going to focus on a few select stores that have most of what we want. I already have a lot of shopping done. Found great deals on gifts through out the year so I will not have to buy as much on BF. Trying to keep spending under budget. I am going to try to order some of the stuff on line instead of driving. Walmart is the only store close by me, others are 25-45 minutes away and in all different directions.

Thank You!

Last year we stopped at TRU. They were the 2nd stop on our list, we walked in, turned around and walked back out. The Check out line was wrapped around the entire lenth of the store inside.
