  1. I've got a 14 year old son that plays video games constantly. He has never mentioned it. The only thing on his list is Zelda Skyward Sword with gold wii controller. It is 70 on preorder which I have already done. I will ask when he gets home,he keeps up on that stuff.
  2. It's also toys and electronics only, I thought I read on here that jewelry counted also, but my store told me no. I informed them that I am sticking with amazon.
  3. I'm the one doing it that way. I put 25 on it each week, it's got 75 on it right now, then I select apply to order and it takes it right off the balance. It will be paid for the week it ships. People who are ordering it this week still ahve a November delivery date and it will probably be in stores since the little kindle is already. They are selling 50,000 a day so each day you wait puts it more unlikely you will get one.
  4. I have to say 2 is 2 too many . As someone who started with a couple store cards and ended up with over a dozen and had to refinance my house twice, it can destroy you. I now use my checking only and have debit card off it for things that require a card. On black friday, I call the bank and they lift the daily limit for a few days. STore cards carry interest rates of over 25 % which can double or triple the cost that you end up paying for an item. It took me 20 years to learn.
  5. When it runs out, just get another gmail address and sign up a new amazon account and amazon mom. I use my husbands or kids name and use my same home address and credit card info. I have 5 different amazon accounts. By the time I go through them all, I can start over. I have never had to pay for prime shipping.
  6. My walmart doesn't think it will go over well because of the price restrictions and the fact that if you cancel it early there is a 10.00 penalty , plut the 5.00 fee you pay . SHe says you don't get those fees back. It won't pay people to try and price match, the upc codes are different at walmart on most items, but they won't be open on BF anyway so if you get it cheaper BF and try to cancel or return those items, you are losing the fees.
  7. I hope they make you a great deal. I got my quilters companion almost half. The dealer can set their own prices, but this time of year is a great time for a sale. I got my Janome 6500 in October for lots less.
  8. They are wired in also, It's not like an appliance wehre you just stick it in the slot. It has to be wired inside.
  9. I have a maytag and had to buy my cord. They said it's because not everyone's hookup is the same or the length is sometimes different also. You can just unwire the one of your current dryer and use it. They don't plug in so it would work.
  10. I've never had an order cancelled yet, but I did end up with 2 camcorders last year when amazon beat best buy's price a few minutes after I ordered it. I tried to cancel best buy but they wouldn't let me although it had only been a few minutes. I ended up keeping both and selling one to my oldest son.
  11. You may want to look on musiciansfriend.com for your drums. They sell musical instruments for a huge discsount. I got my sons trumpet for school for 500 and it was the same brand the music store rented to own to everyone else for 800, but it ws the master model and not student which hads a list price of 1200. I also bought him an electric guitar for less than half. I get their magazines every month and they are an excellent company.
  12. I wouldn't buyu either of those for a young child. The wii , in my opinion is the best childs system there is. I have 3 small grandchildren and a teen son at home and our wii gets so much use. It's so kid friendly. The little ones love to do the wii fit. My oldest has teh xbox and playstation and they hve more of the older fighting games.
  13. No, that's not what I said at all. I didn't fight for the doorbusters because I got my stuff online for the same price or better. MY tv ws the exact same price the week before and the electronics were cheaper ffrom amazon since I didn't hve to pay sales tax. Amazon beat every doorbuster or electronics deal I found.
  14. Walmart isn't a good option because most of their black friday stuff comes in with special upc codes. I bought my Samsung led tv at sears last year a week before bf for the same price it was as a doorbuster. Everything else I get from best buy or amazon. Usually amazon because it's no tax and free 2 day shipping. I go on midnight before thanksgiving and midnight after and get about everything on my list. I've never lost out on anything. The year everyone was fighting over the Sony Handycam at Best buy, I got mine on amazon before midnight. I just go with my mom about 5am to browse and get small stuff with no pressure. I've already got a good start. GOt my sons kindle Fire on preorder and I put 25.00 a week in my amazon account so it will be paid for when it's released. I got my granddaughters Abbey and Spectra monster high dolls today. I ahve a xmas club with over 800 in it so far. It's so much better than it used to be when I had to try to get the doorbusters.
  15. Thank you . I ordered mine last Wednesday on the 28th and mine is shipping the 15th. A few people on teh kindle forums today said there shipping date was December 5. \
  16. Yes, exactly. I may put multiple items in one box if they are small, but everyone has to have the same number of gifts. It is my experience the older kids count down to the last present.
  17. Can I ask what your estimated delivery date is? I am on kindle forums every day and preordered mine within 5 minutes of the link going live. There is a poll on there to see how far up in delivery it goes each day.
  18. I think it's great. It's a wonderful compromise for the expensive ipad. My 14 year old is very excited to have this on his xmas list. We already have lots of movies for his psp that will work fine . He's really excited about the gaming apps. He asked for a ITOUCH last year and then changed his mind. No one beats amazon is customer service. YOu can sit on your kindle or have problems and if you call amzon they send you a new one next day and give you a month to return teh bad one. I encourage a 3 year square trade warranty with accident coverage though. I paid 20 for mine witha coupon code I found on ehre. YOu have 90n days after purchase to get one. If you ahve a problem after your 1 year amazon wararnty goes out, they just send you a check to buy a new one.
  19. No, it's a huge supercenter that was remodeled again this summer. It's a college town and everyone goes about 2 hours away to the state capital. I've never had a problem getting anything I want, but I get all my electronics on amazon before I leave home.
  20. Janome.com is the web address. You can look at them. Janome used to be called New Home. All the sewing machine dealers around my area carry them. They are top of the line. SOme carry Bernina, but it's a more expensive brand.
  21. My son is 14 and has them all starting with the Gameboy Advance. He likes the ds lite best because he has a lot of gameboy advance games still. He has certain games he plays on the dsi, but the camera is the major difference and he uses his cellphone or camcorder instead. He has no interest in the 3ds, he says there is only 1 game for it he'd even want. My grandkids are 5,7,9. the oldest plays an old ds but the girls can't work any of them yet although they try, my sons games aren't for little kids.
  22. I bought a dozen rolls last year. I hve an upstairs sewing room that was my daughgters bedroom. I fill it full of everything. Before that I kept it in my closet. My kids never peek, they like being surprised. Big items I took to my moms or put out in our horse trailer. IT has living quarters in the front.
  23. Thanks, I will try, I was going to find my dgs one of them. He has an old regular ds and the hinges broke.
  24. Yeah, its walmart. They go to the big towns with malls, and this is a small college town. Only walmart, kmart and penney's. Not enough stores but I get mine online and don't need to go to a big city.
  25. There is no dsi xl, that's a light. The dsi was new last year and has a camera on it. the ds lites are several years old now. The ds lite xl was bigger .
