my kids at home get about a dozen presents. I like to think they have the big xmas experience as long as possible. When they move out and get their own homes, i drop it to about 6 and their kids get 6 also. . They know this happens and tease their brother that soon he won't get a lot of presents anymore and it doesn't bother them. I buy about 4 presents for the kids of boyfriends and girlfriends that they live with . Ive had those kids ask why does so and so get more presents and they say , That's her grandma. Its hard and they don't understand but they are litt.e. I spend a lot more on the one kid left at home but he is 19 this xmas and it won't be long and he will be gone so im enjoying it as long as i can.

i didn't realize when you do an upgrade and do a contract they charge the 700 price of the phone over the 2 yrs. for 10 yrs ive been paying this. For no reason as i still had a good working phone. Just thought i might as well take a new phone since it was free . This past year the agent explained if i signed the contract and upgraded but kept my old phone my plan would go down 50.00 a month. I was shocked. I now have a 125.00 a month plan instead of tehe 225 i was paying for 3 phones. we have perfectly fine iphones and galaxy's. and when we need new ones, i will buy used ones on facebook for 100 off someone else. My grandkids i had a gophone but it doesn't work well since they moved so i plan on buying the lg lucky tracphone for them. they are just 9 and 11.

i just got an envy at kmart half priced. had it laid away a month. its thermal ink . I love it. i had a lexmark for years and the windows 10 upgrade wouldn't let it work. I feel like im in a new century. couldn't justify a laser since its just for home, but my pics look like they come out of a magazine. I do vendor shows with my crafts, and ive been printing business cards and price tags and signs and they look so nice.

i refuse to buy the off brands. YOu pay for it in the long run. I have 3 samsungs in my house. 2 19 inchs in teh bedrooms and a 40 inch in the living room. Had them for 4 years for hte big one and 5 on the bedrooms wiht no issues. off brands don't last and have poor quality. I'd like a bigger one but i keep the bedroom tv's on all night and my husbnad says no to a bigger one as the light keeps him up.

eVeryone in my houselhold have fires and i have a basic kindle also. I even bought my young grandchildren fires last year. I still want to buy a new one. Maybe my son can retire his 1st generation fire and get a new one. I love the fires. I have over 1000 books on mine and also many apps. My son converts all his digital movies and keeps them in a file ont eh computer. He puts them on as he wants to watch them.

I buy all year long but have 5 grandaughters and they are almost done. I buy mostly usa made stuff. I boycoat overseas stuff as I am a vendor and sell homemade items myself. I have a christmas club I put 25.00 a week in and its paid . But I haven't cashed the check and won't until black friday. It's for my own 3 kids big items and things I want. I have bought my 5 grandaughters all cowboy boots and bought them early summer when sierra trading post had 80% off sale. Got all 5 pair for under 70.00. THen I got the middle one that I keep every day tmnt bedding for under 5.00 with kmart surprise points. took more surprise points the next day and bought a fleecy blanket for someone and put it in my stash. I have numerous items in there I don't know who they are for yet. I make all the kids hats. That's what I sell. My daughter is getting a handpainted barn quilt for her new house. Its huge and local made also. My husband just retired from a union and we buy as much local made as possible. my teenage son i don't know what to buy yet. I buy all online on thanksgiving and the week before on amazon so buy black friday Im just enjoying myself.

the nuts at walmart were definitely NOT supposed to be clearance. I was in 2 different walmarts. ASked at both places and they were just there as display. NOT on sale at all. I bought mine at Aldi's for 3.60 a can.

shopko is now 90% . I got tons. THey hve stockings with initials. tons of paper, bags, nice treat boxes, ornaments. 3 aisles still left.

I was at our kmart yesterday morning and it had been 75% off for a few days. I bought a lot of paper at 1.19 a roll. They had a lot left of everything. I then went over to walmart and they were at 75% off also. I bought a lot more paper at 1.25 for 4 packs. i got 14 rolls of paper for next year. I guess I don't need to hit shopko now. They are still at 70% off there. .

That's another secret trick. Amazon never changes orders after they are placed, NEVER. If you need an add on item and don't have enough in your cart. Order a preorder item like a game and then your add on item. As soon as you place the order and your ad on item ships. Cancel your preorder. Easy way to get add on items. I got a 4.00 equestrian girl last night by doing that. Ive been learning amazons shipping tricks for years. amazon never changes shipping charges after an order is placed.

That's ;NOT TRUE. If it was free shipping when you ordered it, that is what it goes by. I preorder many items as I can during my free shipping trials like booiks and games and they are still shipped free long after my trial expires. I did one just yesterday and it won't ship for 6 months. It will still be free 2 day shipping. I hvae many free trial, At least 4 or 5 a year as I have several different accounts for different reasons and you can have 1 free trial per 13 months. I have had 2 this season. I preordered a movie yesterday that won't ship and it will ship 2 day priority. I preordered 2 books on my last one that shipped 2 months later. THey still ship priority. If it is ordered with it, you still get it.

I get all mine at shopko. No one else matters to me. They have 90% off paper around end of january and its foil paper. I get about 10 rolls. They have high quality ornaments and decorations also for same and usually have 2 aisles still left at that time so good deals.

I think it's very wrong. there are people trying to get presents for their children who couldn't afford them otherwise and for people to buy them to resell for a higher price to me is very very wrong.

I couldn't get it to load on my kindle or my desktop so I just gave up and went to amazon and they had matched all best buys prices. Got it there in a bout 30 seconds and was done.

They were live at midnight. I grabbed my granddaughters ssinger [pixie plus sewing machines which I consider a toy, but obviously shopko doesn't . THey wouldn't take the coupon. They then wouldn't take my rural route address saying they don't ship to po boxes. It's not a po box. took an hour and had to fudge my address. Hope i still get them.
