BB has my whole dvds list...hopefully I can get them all online!

Christmas Eve is for us & our kids only. We have our big meal with the Christmas china, candles & fancy stuff, then we open gifts. Christmas Day is open house and everyone who needs a place to land is welcome. We have leftovers & finger food and play games all day.

I was hoping for a deal on Pioneer Woman merchandise but all I see is the cookware. Bummer.

Not this year, but we have decided to seriously cut back all of our spending in the coming years. I have zero expectations that social security will be there for me in 20 years. Time to buckle down.

I think I'm convinced I need one of these. So, what features should I be looking for? Size, wattage? Home Depot has a few under $70 right now.

yesterday was my 10 year anniversary at Gotta Deal. Wow, time flies!

Visited MIL this week and she mentioned her door bell needed replaced. We also had security contacts added to the doors so she will know now if anyone just walks in (she lives in the country and doesn't lock her doors) Boom, done! LOL

Either one of those would be great. I'm pretty much down to dvds/music to buy.

I have a classic tree in the living room. The dining room has a Hockey theme, kitchen has tractors, downstairs bathroom is rubber ducks, landing is nutcrackers, family room is music and one with ornaments collected traveling, and the upstairs bathroom is Sponge Bob. We also do 3 small trees with just regular ornaments.

I won an iPad from GD last year so never say never ;-)

Agreed. I don't think I bought any dvds from Amazon last year. It was just easier to get them from Best Buy or in person.

Better late than never! Lol

I just heard that Sirius/XM will be flipping to Christmas music TODAY 11/2 at 5 PM eastern time on the Love channel (17). Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G935A using GottaDeal mobile app

This reminds me of when my son was little and some kid at school told him there was no Santa. He replied "!there has to be a Santa, my Mom can't afford all that stuff" LOL

Congrats all. It was fun reading what everyone came up with.

In my Walmart, they moved .com pickup to the service desk so that'll be a nightmare on BF. They also block off the front And make everyone go up the center aisle to check out. An employee directs people to various checkouts from the one line.

1. Flash Mob! Who's with me? 2. This ought to be enough to keep those pesky carolers off my lawn. 3. Daughter: Mother, you said we were going to see One Direction. Mother: No, I said in what direction were the doorbusters?

I got my BIL peanuts and a 6-pack of beer one year. He loved it.

We do turkey, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, a vegetable, Hawaiian rolls, pumpkin pie and a cheesecake.

My MIL is extremely hard to buy for. She has no hobbies, doesn't like music, doesn't read, doesn't watch TV and has more clothing than she needs. She doesn't use cosmetics, perfume or get her hair done much so I know a spa day wouldn't be welcome. She does love one fast food chain, but all of her other children get her GCs to there. I've been reduced to boring fruit baskets every year, although I know she enjoys them. So what do you get the difficult person in your life?

Welcome to my world as a Lions fan. We ALWAYS have a conflict.

Ours goes up after my birthday on December 5 and stays up until Twelfth night.

I'm looking forward to the Walmart & Target ads.

None of our Hallmarks are in a mall here. They're all free-standing or in strip shopping centers. On the other hand, the mall has TWO BBWs.
