  1. My clearance tags are white. IT is awful. My mom kept thinking everything is regular price because they stick the new tags on top of the regular price so you can't see what it was to know how much you are saving. I hate it.
  2. Today there are 316 free books. Here is the link. http://www.ereaderiq.com/free/
  3. That was very nice of them. I guess they didn't realize that they could ahve returned it to amazon up until January 31 for a full refund even though it was a gift.
  4. There are 315 books newly listed for free today . http://us.kinlib.com/new/52b6/ (314 Books) This is one of the links posted on amazon kindle forums by Happy Reader Joyce.
  5. Amazon has it for the same price. I preordered mine weeks ago for that price.
  6. That link changes hourly, so the list wouldn't help much. If you go to the amazon kindle discussion forum, a reader named Happy REader Joyce posts a link to every day's new listings. YEsterday there were over 300 new books and it averages that every day. I signed up for a website ereaderiq.com. It send me an email every day with the days new free listings.
  7. I believe it's the other way around. There are no ads on any of my free ones and my computer tech said to use them so that they aren't being slowed down by the paid ones.
  8. Our Kmart is still 75% off. I bought my tree today. I've been looking for one a few years, but never hit the right time. I called and they said they had about a dozen trees left. I bought the most expensive one. It's a Jaclyn Smith 7.5 foot Sherman Pine with clear lights and a rotating stand. I am so excited. No more Charlie Brown real trees. I will go to pick it up Friday, didn't hve time yesterday. If they have marked theirs to 90 when I get there, I will just return it and rebuy at lower price.
  9. Shopko is 80% off . THey still had tons. I bought a lot of metallic wrapping paper and boxes. Using the metallic this year ruined me. I will never use cheap paper again. My sister bought the foil wrapped chocolates to freeze.
  10. My computer repair place recommends the AVG or Avast free versions. I have them on all my computers. He said those paid ones are unnecessary and that the suite ones bog down the computer and cause problems.
  11. http://us.kinlib.com/new/c25a/ Here is todays link, there are 326 freebies today.
  12. In the amazon forums is a reader called Happy Reader Joyce who posts each days free books. They have been averaging 300 each day. SOme new rule about Indie authors. THey are pretty much all Indie books with a lot of bad ones thrown in since anybody can publish a book on amazon now. I sign up for ereaderiq and they send me a list every day of the days free books.
  13. Here in Macomb Illinois it is still all 50% off.
  14. Our Sears was up the street from Kmart and it closed last fall. THey took the holiday and outdoor section of Kmart and the electronics department adn completely remodelled and Sears moved in there.
  15. I very seldom buy from there, but bought the Schwimm pink cruiser bike for myself on black friday. THey had 50% extra on all clearance and I bought tons of nice toys for xmas. My biggest complaint is the unfriendly help. Last year an employee was yelling at a little girl who was obviously her granddaughter. THe grandma kept screaming at her to shut up. I told her she was out of line doing that in a store. I don't believe in yelling at children anyway for crying. A child can't help themselves from crying. SHe chased me down in the store and yelled at me and told me to butt out and see how I acted when I had to raise my grandkids someday. I told her I had 3 and would never treat them like that. I just got out my phone in front of her and dialed the store number and asked to speak to her boss. A few minutes later I heard them page her . I don't tolerate treatment of children that way.
  16. I have never heard of same day site to store. My site to store stuff was sent Fedex.
  17. RIght on the order page is a drop down menu for returns. THey won't charge you return shipping if it is broken. DOne it many times. THey do have to authorize the return, either on the phone or through the return form.
  18. You don't need virus protection on tablets. THis is discussed frequently on amazon kindle forums. The posters on there say the systems the tablets use are safe and don't get viruses. I bought my son the kindle fire and I have no intention of putting virus protection on it. THe content is not like stuff you get into on computers, I see no reason to waste money on something that isn't necessary.
  19. Just saw this. I put my pics of my homemade marshmallows on my facebook page. My name is Lori Leverton, they are open for everyone to see. Line a cake pan with foil and butter it heavily. In a large bowl, sprinkle 3 envelopes unflavored gelatin over 1/2 cup cold water. Set aside. In a large heavy pan, combine 2 cups sugar, 1 cup light corn syrup, 1/8 tsp salt and 1/2 cup cold water. Bring to a boil, stirring occasionallyu. cook until 240, which is soft ball stage. . Remove from heat and gradually add to gelatin. You really need a stand mixer for this, It takes about 15 minutes beating on high speed and the marshmallows grow very tall n the bowl. Beat in vanilla and spread in pan. Cover and let sit at room temp at least 6 hours. Lift out the foil and turn marshmallows upside down on buttered cutting board, Use a buttered knife to cut into squares and roll in colored sugar, cinnamon sugar, sprinkles, etc. They are very wet and appear to be sticky, but not really. They must be rolled or they will stick together.
  20. Divinity is my big thing at xmas. I make it especially for my grandma and mom. It is difficult and can fail, the biggest reason it isn't setting up is you are not beating it until it is ready. It takes 10-15 minutes of beating on high. You cannot start putting it out until it loses it's shininess. It not only loses its shininess, but you start to see ripples in it and it thickens very quickly. YOu then have only a couple of minutes to get it out of the bowl, that's why small batches using 2 egg whites is important. I never have a batch fail. Also, you have to have that syrup at the correct temp,265. I add 2 teaspoons powdered sugar at this stage to improve texture. I have been making this since I was 16, so that's 30 years. I go through mixers quickly too. BUrned up my 50 Cuisinart last year, but I will bet you aren't beating it long enough. The beater puts air into the candy and it cools it down. It has to reach a certain temp to set up.
  21. Right, Duct tape is expensive, nowhere near 1.00 . Closer to 4. Duck brand is packing tape, duct tape is a type
  22. Not at that price. It was the deal of the day. Today's deal are high heels
  23. I've gotten paypal refunds many times. Just file a dispute with them. You have to do it in a certain time frame though, so better check . It takes a while, they have to give the seller time to respond before they make a decision.
  24. I am totally surprised. My axe shower gift set arrived today. Wasn't even estimated to arrive for 2 more days. SUre wasn't like the first order that took 2 weeks.
  25. When I was in there Saturday they put a bunch of postcards in my bag that say the week after xmas is 75%OFF.
