  1. baby gates are half off too! Just got me one thank for the heads up! only .99 shipping to.
  2. I thought you could put clearance on lay-a-way....Called today and you can't. Oh poop!
  3. That's another way to save, thanks jax! Not that I will use it, but at least we are all giving ideas of not getting ripped off...(well most of us)
  4. Another problem with excessive shipping is. $2 bid and $18 shipping - Item is broken, you only get back what item cost! $18 bid and $2 shipping - Item is broken, you get back most all you paid. If you have any kind of problem, shipping is never refunded. If that was where all the money was paid into (so to speak) you loose everything! It's wrong, period.
  5. I have asked once for regular mail as well. But it was on a light item. Actual shipping was 1.83 (when it got here) and I paid 4.95 for regular mail. They were going to send flat rate box (8.95) but I knew that the only time those are great is if it is a heavy item. I have no problem with a couple of dollars (2 or 3) to go to the seller for shipping, because they have to take their time,gas, and packing stuff to send it.:) I sell every now and then only maybe 4 times a year. I buy on ebay a lot more than I sell. I know as a seller, I am NOT offended if someone asks for lower shipping. If it can be done, I will GLADLY do it. I just let them know....But I usually give the option of flat rate prioirty or just postal rates. We do need to read the auctions before we buy to make sure they are not crooks. (Which is what excessive shipping is) I prefer not to deal with them at all. If they are that dishonest, there is no telling what you'll end up with! Their description is probably just as hyped up!
  6. My sister sells on Craigslist and she said it's free. I just have yard sales since ebay has went so downhill. It's not worth all the extra fees they now charge. They are a ripoff.
  7. Wow, I don't know if I will ever buy gift cards again now! How can they do this? That's like stealing isn't it? Just wanted to let al know who may have one. I read it on yahoo! news. By ANNE D'INNOCENZIO, AP Business Writer 2 hours, 36 minutes ago NEW YORK - You know that Sharper Image gift card you got for Christmas? Right now, it's worthless. And other gift cards in your wallet could lose their value, too. As more retailers file for bankruptcy or go out of business, more than $75 million in gift cards are at risk of becoming worthless pieces of plastic this year. "If I knew this was going to happen, I would have used them right away," said Jon Tapper, a public relations executive from Boston who received two Sharper Image cards as business gifts just a few weeks ago. Their total face value is $50. "I love gift cards, but now this makes me think twice."
  8. WOW I need to go this week then. THANKS!!
  9. You're right! The markup on soda is about the same as on gas! Unreal, unfair, and greedy. Yes I will continue to order water, if they do start charging, I won't go! You are right everyone is in it for a profit. But to make such a huge markup on a drink (that you know every needs) as you can't eat a meal without something to drink is unfair. And yes we will still complain! And those who do not like to be overcharged like they are now for drinks, will not order them. It will come back to haunt restaurant owners when everyone starts catching on. I'll get off my soapbox now:gd_soapbo . Just my two cents.
  10. http://www.snopes.com/medical/toxins/lemon.asp That is the link to the snopes report on the lemons. It IS true. Also the soy milk can cause problems with hormone levels. My son (7) started having problems with the estrogen in it, so we switched to organic milk. WOW that stuff is great tasting too! The fat free taste like regular store brand whole milk! My kids now can skip the extra fat. It is a little more expensive ($3 a half gallon), but it is worth it for the fact of no pesticides,hormones, and antibiotics.
  11. Stickers, tatoos, stretchy animals (.88 at walmart for 10 pack frogs, lizards) Most toys that fit in there will not be safe for the smaller ones, keep that in mind. Hope this helps. My kids can't have the candy because of the high fructose corn syrup gives them big blisters on thier faces. So I know how hard it is. We also use $1 bills and quarters.
  12. They also have the individual singles packs for milk, too. It's called moo-magic. .98 at wal-mart for a 10 pack. My kids can't have the high fructose corn syrup because of the bleach in it drives their allergies through the roof! So the only sweet milk at school is sweetened with corn syrup. I send one of the single pack (sugar free) and they love them. They do taste great. Bubble Gum flavor milk is the bomb! They also have strawberry, vanilla, chocolate, banana, and I think orange. Those things are great for on the go.
  13. I always have an extra box in the van. I get them for $1.00 a box (16 count) at a bent and dent store. But biglots has the 25 pack box for $2.50 . Just think, we save about $7 each time we eat out doing this! (that's 2 gallons of gas!)
  14. We all order water and I take the little Kool-Aid packets in with us. No charge for water, and the Crystal lite or kool aid both have less calories! ( I prefer water, but everyone else adds to theirs!) Just a helpful tip! The kool-aid singles is only half sugar and they taste great!
  15. My mom got the biggest one they had 3 years ago. It is perfect. Never had a problem with it. And it wouln't take forever to take it down when it needs to go.
  16. They just sent me an email today letting me know. I don't really eat breakfast, but may have to check it out....Wonder what the calories are on that thing????
  17. That's a great idea. And I agree on his ratings! He may not even eat fish, but here's asking.... Scott where are you!?
  18. I don't think anyone was attacking the messenger.... I know I myself try not to eat so much fried foods. I like to get the grilled chicken sandwich at BK with no mayo. Has less than 12 grams of fat! I don't eat fries either, and I always take my own bottled water as soda gives me bad headaches and acid problems. Thanks for posting the deal, though. My sons both love them. I do get the tarter sauce on the side because that's where a lot of the fat comes from. (of course that's what makes it taste good, too:) )
  19. the ONLY free shipping codes are if you spend like $75 on the products. Sorry. If you get too many of the free things the shiping goes sky high. Iusually get 10 free things and spend $10 on products. Shipping and all is about $25. For our business that is super-d-duper cheap.
  20. The best deal for free stuff right now is www.vistaprint.com/wintercatalog . 12 Different things are free! I have went to every link possible to find the one with the most and this one is the best by far! IMO
  21. I've tried to post things as well and it's the same way. Only if I forward the email does it work for some reason.
  22. I'll post this over in the adult sub forum of gottadeal. You should come and see what all deals we find. Lots of FREE adult items too.
  23. Check out http://www.silverjewelryclub.com/ It's FREE silver jewelry just pay ship and handle. I got quite a few pair before Christmas. They have necklaces, bracelets, and earings! Cute too. You have a chance to buy 4 at a time and every 15 minutes they change to 4 different ones. Great for kids or just to add to you personal collection.
