  1. Only about 10% of population do not sub to Satellite or Cable TV anyway (so you will get a tuner from your provider), so I never saw a monitor only as a big concern to most people, certainly not me.

     

    Don't some satellite companies not carry local channels? Just something to think about. We used to have Direct TV and had to get an antennae for locals.

  2. Not sure about BB, but I bought online with Circuit City last year on Thanksgiving and picked up on BF when I got done with all my early bird specials. It was wonderful!!
  3. I bought my daughter Amazing Ally about the year she came out. Unfortunately DD was too young to appreciate the doll, but the reason I got it was because TRU had it clearanced in March for 19.99. If she REALLY wants it go for it--It's Christmas. If she just saw it and casually said, I want it, I would hold off. Might be a great (and cheap)Easter gift.
  4. I think it all depends on what your priorities are. I will start @ Walmart, an then head to Target and then either Meijer or Circuit City depending on what the ads say.
  5. I am with MissyJane...the lists go on and on. :giggle:

     

    We usually start with a $$ amount each year (usually around $200 each) and then look at what everybody has. Since there are 3 kids (10, 8, & 5) we look and make sure it's not too lopsided and try to even out. We too generally get one "big ticket" item per child or even a shared gift and then fill in with under $30 gifts.

  6. At the Mt Sterling KY Wal-mart they have all of the Otis Spunkmeyer Pre-cut Cookie Dough marked down to $.98 a box. It is normally $2.27 a box. Not sure if this is just local or at all Supercenters. They had S'mores, patriotic chocolate chip and of course the halloween. Got me about 6 boxes.

     

    Hey that's not far from me! I am in Bourbon County. Thanks

  7. I have 3 children

    DD is in K she has 2 teachers

    DS is in 3rd (but is in 2/3 classroom) he switches between 3 classrooms,

    DS is in 5th and is in Special Ed for many classes, 5 teachers

    that would be 10 teachers!

    "$30 for a school teacher"

    That does seem a bit pricey, I do donate classroom items throughout the year, especially to the Special Ed teachers because they do not have "homeroom" students and don't get the benefit of the beginning of the school year blitz of supplies brought in.

     

    ALOT of my children's teachers seem very young (under 30) and I have been buying Clearance christmas items after christmas and save them for the next year to give. It takes many years to accumulate many Christmas items for decoration. Alot of the teachers have commented on how they were never able to afford to buy decorations and gifts at the holidays and were very appreciative!

  8. Yes, it HAS to be for you and it HAS to be one thing. Otherwise you don't get anything :P

     

    ONE thing??? Hmmm....WOW that's hard. A night out for Hubby and me--dinner and a movie. UHG! that's two, does that count?:giggle:

     

    EDIT: tessangel posted as I was typing--great minds think a like!

  9. I am an ex-walmart employee also. Actually I used to be the toy department manager. We start ordering extra stock on toys starting in late august and fill the risers (over head shelves) and even leased trailers to place our back stock in. Basically, because all of Walmart stores get there stock from Wamart distrubution centers every WM is competing with every other WM to get sufficient stock to last through the holidays. Usually by late October you could order toys until you are blue in the face and you will get nothing.
  10. First post here so I'll start with a quick "hello".

    Anyway, I was just wondering if anyone has any experiences to share with this brand.

    Asking this because I was going to go to HH Gregg and buy a 3 DVD/VCR combos for $78 and they are Toshiba. I know and like toshiba, but am not familiar with Symphonic.
