I think we will end up doing a lot online this year, we moved back to FL this year and to a smaller town this time. No real stores we shop outside of Wal-Mart are near us and I probably won't want to drive an hour to the ones we used to go to. That and part of the family is back in MI so it's just easier to have things sent there.

I just read an article that Bon-Ton is set to reopen with a new owner. They will have a big online presence and are negotiating with landlords on about 5 or 6 states to reopen their brick and mortar stores. The article said it will hire back previous employees.

Nothing wrong with that. Makes the day more relaxed.

Very nice. We have shirt designs. Now we need a WalMart letter.

Doing great, keep up the good work

Can really tell it's getting closer. The chatter on the site is starting to pick up.

I have a feeling it's going to be a good year for tablet deals. I've been reading that sales on all tablets are down a lot. I think they may use BF to help pump up those figures and move some stock. I'm still hoping for a really good deal on a Surface Pro. I still want one but $1000-$1500 is just too much for me to pay for something I will use sparingly.

I seem to recall the one that was near us having something last year but I don't remember what the sales where.

We actually loved our Maytag we bought when we built 3 years ago. We were going to go with Samsung but the one we liked (was their high end) the lady at Home Depot told us that we didn't want it they had a lot of issues with Samsung washers coming back and people complaining about them shredding clothes while washing. The Maytag set we ended up getting she said had no real issues (every appliance can have issues now and then) so we bought that set. Wife loved the steam fresh setting on the dryer. Would toss wrinkled clothes in there and a little bit later no wrinkles and no ironing (which we both avoid like the plague).

I have a feeling this year is going to mostly online shopping for us. We are in a small town now and the closet area for us to go to B&M stores will be about an hour. Only real stores around here are WalMart which we will wander through on Friday LONG after the sales have been on so I don't expect much from there and Lowe's which I think I've been in once on BF.

The last few months have FLOWN by. It's crazy how quickly the end of the year is approaching.

Message Sent and I can't believe it's almost September.

I found that all of them have already been leaked. Oh wait those are last years.

I was more shocked that the article I read said they still had 800 stores.

Ya the funny thing about all these studies if you can find them to say the opposite of each other.

I no longer have a Kmart or Sears around me. Sad times.

Ya this has seemed to help keep the forums a little more active than years before.

It's almost here Time to start planning?

Mine started school this morning. Makes me proud and sad at the same time. Sad because she is getting older (will be 8 in Dec) and she won't be daddy's little girl some day. Proud because she's smart and loves school. I always think about a Subaru commercial with a little girl sitting in the drivers seat with her dad talking to her, she's tiny one second then 16-18 and driving away the next.

I was in Walmart yesterday and they had signs all over that said August 31st.

I think its hard to say who will pick up the slack on toys. My guess is for foot traffic Wal Mart and Target will duke it out. Online Amazon will probably be the big one. Hopefully TRU is back next year.

Picked up some clearance toys at Walmart last night for Christmas for our nephew/niece.

My wife is a teacher and has been back to work from the start of this week. Daughter starts back on the 13th. Summer is gone except for that horrible heat part of it here lol.

So I decided I would complain about the InstantPot, didn't think they would care or do anything. I was pleasantly surprised though. They had me purchase it at the price it is now ($100) and are refunding me the difference between that and the Prime Day price. So I get it after all and only pay the price I was trying to pay then.

Will be starting here in a couple weeks.
