  1. 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!
  2. I am debating on getting the rose petal cottage and accesories for my dd...she is 7. Does any1 know if that is good for her age. The shipping is 30.00 which is crazy, but with the paypal 20 off it will only be ten dollars more then if i get it in the store and thats what id spend on gas going to tru anyway...so good reviews or bad??????????THANKS!!!!!!

    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!

  3. 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:

    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!

  4. 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...
  5. 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 ;)

  6. I don't think so. My friend works at TRU and she said that it (and the ponies S'mores and Butterscotch) were a corporate markdown from Hasbro. So, all of the stores really should be following suite.

    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!

  7. 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.
  8. 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

  9. 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!

  10. Did you check the other boxes that are full price? (which were in a different aisle) That is how I was able to buy the last two...I was determined to buy every single one, so I took out all the boxes and found two peelies on the bottom of the box...

    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.

  11. Discovered a great deal by accident...

     

    The glade Starter kit (the one that comes with the glass holder and 2 oil candle refills) is on sale for $2.50, but only the Apple Cinnamon scent...there are $3.00 coupons on those boxes and on some other scents...so they are free. I think they normally run around $6.00...

     

    The best part is that if you buy 4, you get a $5.00 gift card...

     

    I do not like the apple cinnamon candles, so I will chuck them or give them away, but I could sure use the holder...

     

    ***this is the first time I posted to this thread, so if you need a specific number, UPC or receipt code, please let me know

     

    forgot to mention...there is a coupon inside the box for a third one free, when you buy 2 candle refill packs

    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.

  12. school is still at just 30% off - they are putting out Halloween today - find of the day was a Little Mommy doll dressed up in Halloween attire (tiger costume i think) in a box that said "Target Exclusive" on it - it had a red return tag on it and was marked 4.96! This is a full-sized Little Mommy doll.

    It scanned INF at the price check scanner but the cashier had no problem - the original price was marked as $19.99.

    I found 2 of these today mixed in with the other Little Mommy Dolls & remembered something about them from this forum. Grabbed both & scanned them & they came up Item Not Found or something along those lines. I thought foe sure I had a deal, but got them to the checkout & after much ado...they wanted full price...ah well...didn't really need them, but they were quite cute...maybe after Halloween.:(

  13. Slim pickings at Targets here, but found 2 of the Fabric drawers in "safari" print for $2.24 the other day - was $9.99. These are for those "wooden" organizers - and are great for the kids books & toys!

     

    And the urban myth is myth no more!! I found 2 MM apple juices at our west side store...I've looked for these over & over & NEVER thought I'd found them - figurred all the other gottadealers get there first, or we just have really smart stockers at our stores...brought them home and asked DH how much he thought they were...he said, "i don't know, a dollar?" I even trumped the cheapskate guess!!! We did the apple juice happy dance in our kitchen.:g_dance::groovin:

  14. I think Target is the better deal (than Kmart at least - that Amazon deal IS pretty good!)...I went to Kmart this morning and the games were not marked at all and weren't pulled out to an endcap or anything (the Princess pillow was still out from yesterday!).

     

    I flagged down the nearest person to help me, and the manager happened to come by at the same time. They didn't even know the sale was going on!

     

    Turns out, though, the games are around $29+, and they had very few titles (at least at my store), so I went to Target, go a price adjustment on one I bought last week,and got another at the $15 price.

  15. jenbui, lucky! I love the scrapbooking stuff, it's really cute. And you can't beat 90% off. I grabbed a couple things when it went 50% off and was able to go back and find a stash at 90% off, but scrapbooking stuff flies off the shelves in this area, regardless. Bummer. There is some adorable Christmas stuff that I have my eye on, though.

     

     

    Oh, this is my first REAL lucky find...I mean, I'll find things mentioned on here at my Target, but there must be some GottaDeal-ers in my area too, 'cause most of it goes SUPER fast. I've NEVER, ever found the MM juices or those really good deals - not that I need an excuse to spend money at Target! I just happened to luck out...and this scrapbooking stuff wasn't marked AT ALL with stickers, so no one would know to look, unless they were looking specifoically for Halloween stuff...or had read it here!!

  16. Thanks to everyone here, I was in the scrapbooking aisle today and noticed some Halloween items (embellishments, stickers, letters and a big pack of cute Halloween paper) that were not marked. Took them to the scanner, came up 0.00. Got to the register and told them I didn't know the price...they gave it to me for the 90% off!!!

     

    The manager said she was going to go pull it all off the shelves, but she said she'd give it to me and that I got a great deal.

     

    Thanks to you all!
