just wanted to say THANK YOU for posting this deal! Called my local Shack and they have a bunch at $89.97 they are holding 2 for me to pick up this afternoon after I drop DD off at preschool!! SO excited that i don't have to fight the crowds next week! Thanks SO much!

to continue the OT DS conversation :-) a question on the white DS: do you think we could get the white one & maybe exchange for a different color later? Just pondering....

We got the cottage for my DDs (3 and 5) for their birthdays last Feb. (Target toy clearance). We put it together, they played with it with their cousins that day, and that was just about it...a few times playing here and there, but not much use. They liked the little stove that came with it best. My 5 year old claims she's too tall for it (and she is very petite for her age). Don't know if it's just my kids or not, so your daughter may love it. But that's our experience. Hope that helps!

Just an FYI - That first link is for a Cuttlebug, not a Cricut. The Cuttlebug is a die-cutting machine as well, but it is a manual crank machine. Still a fun toy and made by the same company, but not a Cricut. here is an Amazon link to the Cricut Personal Machine: http://www.amazon.com/Cricut-29-0001-Personal-Electronic-Cutting/dp/B000W5I9OC/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=home-garden&qid=1254962049&sr=8-1 I have this machine and love it, but if you can swing it, you should go straight to the Cricut Expression...I don't think you will regret it. And last Black Friday, the Expression was $199 with 2 (?) cartridges at WalMart. Hope there's a good deal out there this year too! You can also check out the messageboard at www.cricut.com/messageboard The information there is invaluable! Hope that helps! Jen

I put together the swing today...It was a pain to put together, as the instructions are not very clear and the parts are not labeled, but overall I like it. I've always wanted a patio swing, so I'm pretty excited that it was such a good deal. Can't beat $32!

picked up a two-person patio swing yesterday for 75% off - $32.XX

I've used them several times in the past and had good results, though they can be slow to ship. I've heard others have had great sxperiences, and still others will never buy from them again because of bad service...like I said, I've had good experiences...I do always use Paypal, though, just in case...one more layer of protection...

I used a coupon at the outlet today and the two people ahead of me also used coupons...mine was a 10% off they sent me in the mail and I saw 15% on one of the ladies ahead of me...Now that I think about it...the lady 2 in front of me used this 20% off coupon I believe, because it was a printout instead of their flyer coupons...so I'd say yes, most likely.... how's that for a long-winded yes Jen

Interesting, since the ponies were not on sale there that day - at least according to the signs...ah well, hubby says the ponies are too big and would take up too much space anyway, so no dice for my pony-lovin' 4 year-old!

Kitty was on my 4 year old's list too...I picked it up today at Target where it is on temporary price cut for $34.99 (minus my 10% off - YAY!)...it was the best deal I could find on it and it was in stock. Was hoping for the Amazon sale to bring me a deal on it, but I just couldn't wait any more! I'm sure it will now go on sale tomorrow.

Saw Kota the Triceratops for $99. Must be price matching TRU? Also saw lots of initial clearance on toys...including the Target brand name of toys (can't remember what they are). They had a little doll in a red dress, a puppy in a sweater, a wooden fire truck, a tea set, a tiara and snow princess sash set, and a cookies set, all for 50% off. got the cookie set for $9.98. some of the $5, $10, $15 toys also were marked down, but not the ones I was looking for. HTH

Ok, it's not loud, but I totally second the vote on the Moon Sand - that stuff is MESSY! Also, there's this too: http://www.amazon.com/Playskool-Magic-Screen-Palm-Learner/dp/B000NWSPIE It's this PDA-type toy that says numbers (& letters?) that just goes off when you touch the screen - no volume control and it is SO annoying, because you CANNOT TURN IT OFF! I always bumped it when the kids were sleeping - woke them up every time. Boy, this is a fun thread! ETA: I saw plastic recorders at Target the other day too...musical instruments are a;ways LOUD and ANNOYING!

Employee at my local store told me that there will definitely be 30% off until noon on BF. HTH someone!

Yes, I think others must have gotten there before me, because there weren't that many boxes in the aisle and the rest were on an endcap. I lookedat most of the boxes and there was the coupon inside, but no peelies on the outside...maybe next time...I'll keep looking.

Went to Target looking for this deal today, as Apple cinnamon is my favorite scent from Glade, but no peelies on them...so no deal for me.
