  1. I received a box from Kohl's today with Big One towels I ordered a week or so ago. For the price I paid, I'd say this was a good deal. They aren't fluffy soft towels, but they are pretty big and for only about 3.00 each including shipping, yeah, a good deal.
  2. same here and I thought it was just me. it's a new dishwasher (less than 3-4 months old), but but unless I use gel cleaner, it just leaves nasty big spots all over everything, glass and plastic. and yes, I do that rinse aid stuff, whatever it's called. I really don't like dishwashers and use only when in a hurry, I prefer to wash by hand.
  3. All I can say is, if I am one of the guilty parties, I apologize. I will learn to play nice. I'm not sure if I am guilty, I thought I took out most of my frustration on my husband...If I'm not one of the guilty parties, this message will self-distruct in ten seconds.
  4. jacksonville florida (san jose area) 90% off, still had 4-5 shelves of stuff, spread out over about 6 shelves, but still a lot of stuff. must have been at least 50 of those flat "gift wrap for 30? packages" boxes that included paper, tissue, ribbon, bags, everything, all for 1.29, at least 200 rolls of regular paper, zillions of tree skirts and stockings, lots of ribbon, candy canes almost stacked to the ceiling, gift boxes (like 4 shirt boxes to a pack), NO lights, a few decorations, a few decorative gift boxes, more of course, but I can't remember. Oh, one more thing, they had (I got one) about 10 pre-lit trees left for 9.99 each (7 1/2 foot)-these were in the garden center, not in the regular store. important - the above results from a shopping spree at 6 pm last night, so I'm sure that this morning the stash has dwindled quite a bit.
  5. I ordered a variety of colors ( 3 each of 1 color and 4 of 1 color) but now I wish I had ordered Bluebell, it sounds so pretty. BTW, I looked at my towels at home to see what size they were to sort of judge what big towels means to Kohls, but I couldn't find the size on any of my towels. They all had the material used (100% cotton) and brand, but no size. Oh well.
  6. thanks so much to the original poster. I ordered 10 big towels as we have plenty of the other sizes in every color. I used the 15% off coupon code and sved 3.74. I never would have known about it without your post. The description said the towels are 30" X 56" , I am going to check a towel in the closet to get an idea of how big this is, although at that price, it might as well be a hand wash cloth.
  7. I realize that stores seem to make up their own rules, but out Target told me that on any sale, unless it specially says "rainchecks will not be offerred", they will give them. Of course, you can't convince a Target employee of anything. I just read my raincheck and although it has the address of my Target on the top, it says, Price Rain Check, Use this to receive the advertised sales price at ANY Target store until 02/11/08. I am going in there today and will get 5 of each Mario (Galaxy and Olympic) since those were the ones that which were sold out. Later today or tomorrow I will post the availability for a limited number of people that I can help out.
  8. FYI, I know all Targets may differ, but I called mine and they are out of Mario Olympics (tried to get for my daughter) and they did give a raincheck. I suppose to most id doesn't matter, I completely forgot about walmart pricematching. hopefully I can get her one tomorow, thanks to whomever mentioned the pricematch "game".
  9. then I guess you don't care about how mad I am that 10.00 BF walgreens was a thumbs down also. and I bought 6 of them. My brother, the smart aleck, told me it's the operator malfunctioning, not the the helicoptor. Gave one to my daughters boyfriend and he said it took him a while to "get the hang of it" but then it was flying all over. I thnk his was a fluke.
  10. we only had kohls, BB, office depot, Kmart, CVS. and for those truly hooked, CVS is open tomorrow.
  11. very nice answer and I even suspect you didn't just do for "show". your family is lucky, but then again, I bet you are too. Kristyn

    gift dilemma

    I agree 100%. I don't think I could have even explained it any better. Every single time I give a gift, it is actually "I" that is receiving the greatest gift of all, in being able to find and give it to someone that I think will enjoy it. I have had very few people understand this line of thinking. Thanks for bringing this gift of hope during this somewhat confusing time of year!
  13. I have to agree with cong here (well, maybe not about her being a b!tch!). I'd have to go even a step further and say I would never dream of going into my husband's wallet any more than he better ever think of putting his paws in my handbag. But, you'll work it out. Of course you don't need my advice but I'll give it anyway - before you decide what to do, get out your handy dandy Webster's and look up the word "ungrateful". You may find a familiar picture in the listings. Sorry I'm so hostile about this but you seem like a really nice guy and this obviously upsets you. oh, so it's still none of my business, well, okay then.
  14. same here and I can't believe what happened. I went to FYE in orange park mall (ticketmaster vendor) and they had a lottery system. they gave everyone "tickets" and said when they pulled the first one from a plastic bag, that person would be first in line and everyone else would follow, numerically. They pulled #378. I WAS NUMBER 377. I missed it by one number. Instead, I was was assigned last in number system! I wanted so much to surprise my son that I walk up to the line and offered anyone that only wanted to buy 2 tickets (since there was a limit of 4) $100., $200., ...all the way up to $500 just to buy the extra 2 tickets that they were allowed to buy but might not want or need (yeah right). So I sit here today, ticketless in jacksonville. husband told me to go the old-fashioned route...scalpers, um, I mean ticket brokers. I WILL get those darn tickets.
  15. just found out to day that she is coming to jacksonville at the end of january. I will do what I can to get tickets for my son since he loves her. on the news they already said that camping out and waitinig for the sale to start is not going to be allowed. If , and it's just a very hopeful if, we happen to get tickets (the limit is 4), I will get 4 although I need 2 (one for my son and one his adult sister). If we get lucky, I will find a fair way to give them way on here. I just refuse to go through all the trouble of trying to buy them and then just buy 2. please don't send me email asking me about them, because they even exist yet. I just wish, I hope, I pray, I beg, I bargain, okay heck, there's not a whole lot I wouldn't do to surprise my son. God, he is such a brat. Did I say I love him?
  16. recalled? oh no! I bought more than I care to admit and have already given 2 wrapped ones away. Now what? At least I have the receipts.
  17. I know there is an age difference but my son is 7 and I know he would love it. No comments please. I'm sure he would still love it at 11.
  18. agree. it's called a bonus for a good reason. when and if you receive one, be especially thankful and make certain that you make your gratitude known to the person that was kind enough to be so caring. A written thank you note can mean so much.
  19. wow, that is so cool. I never even knew remote starter existed. I guess (?) people use it to start their cars to warm them up before they in them in the morning? I am so behind the times. My car/truck (mercury mountaineer) is 2 years old, but husband gets a new car every year. I have never been in his car because mine is bigger and he doesn't allow spilled drinks! (his is an infiniti). He never tells me about options or anything because to him it's just a car but I wonder if his has remote start. He wouldn't use it if it did, I was just wondering. He also has an older boy truck (chevy?ford? I don't know?) for the weekends when he takes off the professional attire and turns into a real boy! Heck, I just found out that mine sets the seat back to my specifications (after my daughter changes it to hers). Wow, this remote start thing sounds so cool. I don't want one, I just don't know why I have never heard of it.
  20. hmmm...something tells me that you probably own a lot of jewelry. So how does one score the services of a jewelry wholesaler? Birth? Marriage? Divorce? Heck, I'd almost do either one all over again to avoid the mark up prices of retail jewelry prices! I am jealous.
  21. I have a rule for my kids (ages range from 7 to young adult). They are not allowed to buy me any gifts. If they wish to do anything (which is just not necessary), it must be something they make. And the "but I don't know how to make anything" excuse doesn't work. I may even help them out with a piece of paper and a crayon. Other than that, they know that I will be very upset if they buy anything. Holiday or not, if there is something I want, I will just buy it. I don't want to seem ungrateful I just don't buy into the "it's christmas so I must get you a gift" mentality. I give when I want and I want my family to do the same. I think the best gift I have received in the last several years is a vintage (really tacky) elf that one of my daughers bought on the clearance table at a local antique mall. I'm sure it cost no more than $2.00, but I truly adore it. yes, it's the thought that counts but I suppose that when families draw names it may be best to assign a price range. Just be glad that I'm not in your family and I drew your name. You might end up with a 25 cent pencil simply because I thought it reminded me of you as a child!
  22. the free silver tote with $65 purchase looks cute. am I the only person dumb enough (or at least dumb enough to confess) that I frequently buy lancome, estee lauder, clinique, etc. JUST for the free gift with purchash stuff? I realize that it makes absolutely no sense, but I just love the way the GWP sets are put together.
  23. gosh we love our cat Neuman so much, and he's thankful for being fed, but sorry no presents. I suppose if I guilted into it I can throw him an extra walmart bag to wrestle with, he loves those.
  24. we must be the weirdo family. we have stockings hung above our florida fireplace that has probably never been used, and we have never put anything in them. not even a candy cane. nothing. we even have one for our cat, but his is empty too. oh well. I'm 49 years old, things are not likely to change now.
  25. wow thanks so much for this. I already bought my son a digital camera from target last week and still wanted a kid type camcorder. the camera was on sale for 68. you just saved me a bunch. he gets "funny" when stuff looks too much like a toy and the camera was purple (like a toy), the one you found looks real, thanks again. thankfully I am a receipt saver.
