  1. I took my DD last year and will take her again this year. She turned 5 in June. However, I don't go out until we wake up and even though the weather may be chilly, it's not damning cold like other places in the country. She's also a very good girl so that makes it a lot easier.

     

    I think this is a personal preference and should be left to the parent. Afterall, we know our children better then anyone else.

  2. Remember you may possibly be standing in a line (or 2) to pay for over half an hour? How would your child handle that, how does he handle long grocery store lines? There's no family or friends or neighbors that you can ask now to watch your son?

     

    Mine fell asleep in her stroller last year.

  3. I believe we are trying to say is that if one doesn't have a receipt a store shouldn't be obligated to take anything back and if they do, give the same amount as they would be able to give someone who had a receipt.

     

    IMO, it's just the stores trying to get attention of consumers to have them keep receipts. Personally, I don't see where this is difficult. I would prefer to have my receipt and get back what I paid for the item.

     

    I am not sure it's about stores needing to make a larger profit. It's more about scammers (no, I'm not implying you) who take advantage of retailers. These practices harm the honest consumer. However, if all it takes is having a receipt to ensure I get my money back, I'm keeping my receipt. Problem solved.

  4. I tried to return it without a receipt and they told me they couldn't take it back because it was over the limit for a return without a receipt.

    Did the person who bought it pay via check, giftcard or debit/credit card?? If so, they can look it up for that person.

     

    If you are over the limit, you must have a habit of returning items without receipts. Be sure to save your receipts. If I can learn to do that, anyone can.

  5. I take my daughter. She's 5. Keep in mind we live in AZ where the weather is pretty nice and I don't start until we wake up. I won't get up in the middle of the night to hit the stores.
  6. I limit how much cash I bring too. However by BF I have already researched all of the ads, have my lists made and know how much I plan on spending that day. Of course I generally add a little more for unexpected wants/needs.

    If you don't want to carry a debit/credit card, you go go buy giftcards for the stores you plan on shopping and use those for payment.

  7. I am thinking the same thing. My DD may end up with a couple/few toys this year instead of a bunch of smaller ones. I know she will love Biscuit. They also have a smaller Furreal puppy that rolls around, etc.

     

    Last year was obcene how much I bought for all of the kids on my list. I don't want to repeat that, even if/when I find good deals. I'm definitely cutting back this year.
