Logitec Bluetooth Headset from CompUSA

CPK Newborn and Care Bear w/Dvd from Walmart

Laptops :(

You can still get the Logitech bluetooth headset from compusa.com. That was one of the things that I went for as well but couldnt get, but I was able to come home and order it online. The site takes a while, but I did get confirmation! :)

I got to BB at 3:10 a.m. already about 200 people in line. The best buy employees were great, passed out krispy kreme donughts. I didn't get the e machines desktop I wanted, I just picked up 1 sandisk mp3 player.

$398 laptop @ Walmart...however :D THAT turned out to be a blessing in disguise, as my computer-fixer-upper husband found, bidded and WON a used COMPAQ ARMADA laptop to be used to upgrade our current laptop. Believe me, this was much BETTER than spending $398 on a new one...especially since we now have money left over for...(see next post) LadyPhoenix

The CC laptop.

 

Instead, I got to watch a bunch of kids start a bonfire on the sidewalk while it was snowing and get kicked out of line when 3 police cars, a fire truck, and 2 news crews showed up. Fun!

Hooded downing coat @ Sears

 

(CONTINUED FROM PREVIOUS POST) Check out my dilemma (and possibly help me out!):

 

Stood in line @ 5am for Sears early bird sale, and to get the $10 gift card for 1st 200 customers. Got in, with my card, to EXCLUSIVELY look for that coat (or at least a semi-heavy coat that was hooded). Didn't see any of my 1st or 2nd choices, so I SETTLED for a stadium jacket that doesn't give me a whole lot of room, and as thick as I wanted. But the price was right...especially since the retail price was $120, but after the sales price and the gift card, I spent only $42 (tax included). But now I have TREMENDOUS buyer's remorse!

 

My options:

 

*Accept what I got and be happy w/it for the next 2 years

*Return it, and use my refund (which will ONLY be in the form of a Sears gift card) plus MORE money to look for another coat more to my liking, or

*Return it, keep my refund (Sears gift card) for a future purchase, spend gas looking at other stores to pay EVEN MORE money for a coat I WANT and look GOOD in

I didn't get the Toshiba laptop at best buy. I was 40 in the queue and still didn't get. I didn't get the external hard drive at compusa. I didn't get the Vtech cordless phone at Staples.

Well I am very disappointed because I got in line at 1:30 this morning at circuit city for the laptop and I was probably the 30th person in line. needless to say they had only 15 laptops (why would you only get 15 when the store regularly gets 300 people for BF acording to the store employee I talked to???) and I got stuck without it. I guess I cant complain too much because I still got the 15' LCD tv for my dads xmas present and another hd receiver for my directv system for free after rebate. Well now I am seriously considering buying the dell for 478 after I upgrade the screen and ram.

 

Good Luck to everybody else!!!!:D

Well :yuck:

Disapointed, again. CompUSA says that the logitech Mobile Freedom Cordless Headset For Bluetooth Mobile Phones is now avail by delivery only, yet when you put it in your cart, it tells you its unavailble...:g_thumbsd:yuck:

Razr Cell Phone

 

I got the ticket but you have to get NEW service, not an extension. Screw that! I guarentee nobody got that deal unless their service just happend to run out. Nobody getting their first cell phone is going for the 300$ MSRP one.

Aquadoodle and cube Lite Brite at Kohl's. I wanted to buy the two toys plus a king size blanket for half price at $30, for a total of about $52, and then I would receive a $10 coupon. Unfortunately, they were sold out of the toys I wanted when I arrived at 6:30 am after shopping elsewhere, and the lines were so long I didn't want to browse for anything else.

Waited in line in the freezing cold for the Kodak C360, but didn't get it. BUT, I jsut found out that my mother in GA got one for me! It's a Christmas present for my in-laws. Yippee.

Didnt get a emachine , Man in front said he wants 3 and probably got all 3 even though he was by himself :mad: I got a ticket for 399.00 computer but decided I didnt want to put all that money up front and gave it to someone else and got my mom a Kitchen aid at Sears instead :banana01: I also had a ticket for the kodak 360 but decided to give it to the lady who was in line behind me very disappointed she didnt get one. I guess I could have been geedy and sold it to her like the lady in front of me did to another man but decided to have the christmas spirit and gave it to her she was very grateful)(people who got more then one just to sell should not be allowed but I guess that is the american way:mad: ) I got everything else on my list and my kids will have a great christmas. Glad I got their computers weeks ago for 500.00 way better then the emachine that was on sale :violin:
