  1. I am overseas in Germany...and our German stores were packed yesterday ON Thanksgiving (guess the Germans start early). I was able to get everything on our list online (we are also 6 hours ahead of East Coast)...lots of online stores doing before BF deals too this year I noticed...combine that with googled coupon codes....I saved lots.

     

    I'm going to head over to the Stuttgart PX and see what's going on there...lots of folks yesterday did say they were going...mostly for the camera deals and the laptop...honestly, most of the community was going ga-ga over the midnight showing of New Moon.

     

    Update, I'm back a few hours later after going at 11am....PX was just like any other day....still had some of their BF flat screen TVs available...only thing I noticed that was all gone were the digital camera deals. I bought a portable DVD player for $129 dual voltage, plays old games w/controller and picks up local TV signals with case and accessories. No waiting in line, walked right up to check out. I heard they opened up at 5am.

  2. I've perused the ads already up....I don't know if it's me...but I am seeing no real big deals there? Just minimal savings, really...most of that stuff, you can already find online at those prices...what will be the biggest deal this year (remember the laptops and HD 32" TVs last year?)? Just wondering if I am missing something...
  3. I used to think the prices were great too for LTD...until I noticed how almost every time, they would ship things separately. For example, I recently ordered:

     

    Halloween Clock price $6.95 sounds cheap right? Then .83 tax and $4.85 shipping and handling. In the same order I had the following two items, and they shipped them separately (and charged me for shipping every time). So typically, I would pay the amount the items cost with a check, then they would ship and bill me for the shipping, each time a package arrived (the bill would be in with the merchandise):

     

    Christmas DVDs price $22.95 tax $2.00 ship and handling $5.61

     

    Two chop wizards price $29.90 tax $2.51 and ship $5.96

     

    I can bet you, when I ordered these things and if I had known that the total shipping would be over $15, I would've never ordered!

  4. What about buying a kit (this includes hardware, swings, plan, etc) on ebay and then taking the lumber list to Home Depot (or wherever) and getting that separately? We did that..spent $30 for the kit and then $300 for the lumber...easy directions and you know the quality wood you are getting. I am not mechanically inclined, but the lumber list that came with the kit was so easy to read...just gave it to the sales associate and he loaded up our cart (a couple of times) and the directions were step by step and easy to follow.
  5. Thanks for your replies. I have been keeping an eye out, watching the circulars too. I did see some floor merchandise sharply reduced at Home Depot, but one of the refrigerators had a huge dent in the front! It looks like I can get a good name brand ice/water in the front 25 cf refrigerator for under $1000...barely (stainless steel), and I finally saw a front loading washer/dryer set...think it was frigidaire for under $1000 for a set...thanks again. Definitely will use a coupon at Home Depot and Lowes..I know Home Depot has the 10% military discount we could use...Home Depot discontinued it:-((
