  1. I found 2 websites today for those wanting The North Face jackets. Sunnysports.com and Crawford Collections.com. Sunny sports shows a 5 star rating with free shipping. The 166 denali jacket is 97 on there and crawford collections is 79.50 with shipping, but the have a 15%off code today which brings total to 77.95. Trying to do a price match on sunnysports, just requires a quick email. I know the sales on these are few and far between. Even on black friday they are regular price in the stores.
  2. Has anyone bought from Sunnysports.com? I did a nextag search on TNF Denali jackets and they cam up at 97-114 on price, when they are 165 everywhere else. They had a 5 star rating on Nextag, where the cheaper ad had a 1 star rating. They look reliable witha 60 day return policy and free shipping. they also say it's recycled fleece which is no different.
  3. I've never tried, since their tv's were lower in price anyway. I got my 2 samsungs for the bedroom for 219 and they were 350 at walmart. They hve a great tv section.
  4. It's not immediate, it takes 2-3 days doing it that way. I made a depost at 1 pm went to walmart and my debit card was declined since our deposits don't post until 4pm. I then just wrote a check. My bank sent an informational thing to us on the differences in selecting debit or credit and writing checks. While debit is instant, credit goes through land lines and takes 2-3 days as does checks. They are electronic, but not instant. I have a christmas club since construction has been up and down. My bank gives you a little book and you put what you want in it. I put 25 on every full paycheck day and had 800 saved. My moms bank has coupon books. You can choose 2.00, 5.00, 10,00 or 20.00. If you pay them all, they pay the last one.
  5. The special offers means there will be ads on the home page. Many people like them as they can save a lot of money and get some good buys, but a school might not like it. Even the more expensive models of kindles have ads if it states special offers. You save quite a bit of money on each model that way. It saves 50.00 on the kindle keyboard 3g which is normally 189 but with special offers it is only 139. The non ad basic kindle is 99 so it saves you 20. On the new kindles, you can pay the extra later and opt out of the ads in your amazon account.
  6. I don't know if I'm doing it right, but I was looking at camcorders and it showed one from best buy , none of the ones I was looking at.
  7. Also, The touch is now being released Tuesday with the fire. EVeryone who preordered is getting emails moving their ship dates up a week. There is no loading of books. If you select buy, it automatically is on the kindle in less than a minute.
  8. The only con on the Kindle that's 79 is that it has ads she may not want to see, like buick and oil of olay, etc. Also it has half the battery life and half the space and no speaker for sound. I have the keyboard and love it , but kids love that touch stuff now and she would probably want the touch instead. My 14 son wants the fire, but loves his psp for the touch screen.
  9. It's not a lot according to my electric company. I went with led because it's led lights and lcd is flourescent which gives a slight color change. I was told it's 90% less power than plasma.
  10. With the exception of TVs, Amazon.com doesn't price-match with other retailers (including those who sell their items on our website). We do, however, consistently work toward maintaining competitive prices on everything we carry. This was copied and pasted from their help center.
  11. You are lucky. I have posted the find a lower price option a few times, but have never heard of anyone getting amazon to price match anything. They strictly say they don't on their website/ I'd have to see it to believe it. Sometimes they say they give a goodwill credit, but that is not the same and depends on who you get.
  12. At our house, turkey and cranberries are thanksgiving only. At xmas my mom makes a ham and mash potatoes. I bring homemade chicken and noodles and homemade dinner rolls. We have other assorted sides, which I don't pay attention to since I don't eat vegetables. For desert it's xmas salad and lemon lush and maybe a pie or angel food cake.
  13. Tractor supply company has a very nice carhartt brand sanded duck coat for 49 on their black friday ad. That is 30 off. You won't find one cheaper than that.
  14. The fire will have hulu plus.
  15. I have had a keyboard since xmas last year and love it. If it breaks amazon will overnight you a new one. I don't use the keyboard except to make collections, so the basic would work for someone not needing that option. THe touch looks nice but won't be out for 11 days. I wouldn't count on target having more than a couple at that low price.One more thing, does he have wifi? If he does you could buy the books and send them and they would appear on his kindle. If he doesn't have wifi it becomes more complicated as he would have to manually transfer them to the kindle from his computer . The 3g would be a better option if he doesn't. The Fire is nice, I've ordered one for my son, it has netflix and thousands of other apps, but more of a media device and not as easy on the eyes for reading since it doesn't have the eink screens.
  16. Amazon doesn't match anything. THey usually keep an eye on prices and on their site usually they have already matched all other competitors ads. You can't call them and ask them to price match, the price listed is final.
  17. In my opinion they are a waste of money. I refuse to spend any amount of money on junk. The amazon fire is a good value and a very nice tablet. If it breaks for any reason in a year, they will overnight you a new one and give you 30 days to return the old one. With those cheap models, you might as well throw it away.
  18. That wouldn't work at my bank. All automatic deposits are updated at 10am and 4 pm, no holidays or weekends.
  19. Yes, price adjusting and price matching are two separate things. They will still price MATCH on black friday, but they will not price adjust on things you bought earlier. That is what the christmas price guarantee is for.
  20. This is not sold by amazon.com. It's a third party seller, not for posting here.
  21. My son has been telling me for a while that the new ones won't play gamecube games. He has about 50 gamecube games so we will buy a used one when ours gives out. There is no wii2, it's a wiiu, which is a handheld device that will work with your current wii. My son has been reading up on it for a long time, he can't wait to get it.
  22. I preordered the one that comes with the gold wii mote on amazon, but they haven't had any left for a few weeks. It is also being shown in the Walmart black friday ad at 10.00 off for 59.99
  23. I also posted over there that they are crap. I don't believe in throwing my money away on crap, no matter what age the child is. There are people on amazon buying the fire for 5 and 6 year olds, because of all the educational apps and now netflix streaming. I believe in getting a good deal on a good brand. It's always worth it in the end.
  24. I also posted over there that they are crap. I don't care if it's a toddler,I don't believe in throwing my money away on crap. I try to get the best deal I can on a good brand. YOu're always happier in the long run.
  25. I like the 10pm time. We eat dinner at noon and are home by 4, so I can take a nap and head out. Go home and head out again with my mom to JCP
