HollyBerry Posted November 26, 2005 Posted November 26, 2005 I am going out today. Getting clothing and shoes. Also Leappad. I know that someone has great deals still. (I hope!) So if you are shoppping today headed toward some great deals, can you share where and what the sale is?
propergrammar Posted November 26, 2005 Posted November 26, 2005 I bought a LeapPad yesterday at Target for $34. However, they are much cheaper online. Wal-Mart had them for $29.96 online with .97 shipping, whereas they were $39 (I think, or $34) in the store. Plus, there are more games online and even some on clearance for $5. I'm really wishing I'd just gotten it online. It's also at ToysRUs.com for a similar price.
HollyBerry Posted November 26, 2005 Author Posted November 26, 2005 Thanks! Now to figure out which one? My girls never had a Leappad. I am getting for my nephews who are 3 & 4. One has some autism. Probably should go for the My First Leappad.
airline2 Posted November 26, 2005 Posted November 26, 2005 the best deals i got where traget: 9" portable dvd player simpsons dvd filienes: jewelery was 50%+10%+20% off then $10.00 off the final price.
propergrammar Posted November 26, 2005 Posted November 26, 2005 I never did find the $6.88 books at my WM. My son has sensory processing issues (like autism), and we got him a My First LeapPad when he was 3. It didn't go over well, as he didn't have the fine motor skills to work the stylus. He's now 5, and after a year of occupational therapy, his motor skills have improved. In fact, we saw his kindergarten teacher yesterday, and she said the LeapPad center is one of his favorite places to be. You might want to find out if your nephew who is somewhat autistic is able to grip smaller objects. I would suggest, though, that at 3 and 4 you go ahead and get the regular LeapPad vs. the My First one. Even though the easiest books say, "Pre-K and K," it should be appropriate for those ages.
HollyBerry Posted November 26, 2005 Author Posted November 26, 2005 Does it have Thomas? The boys are really into that. My nephew does have fine motor skills. He lacks gross motor. He has PDD. I am not familiar with the Leappads. When I am out today I will look. Thank you so much!!!
bassmount Posted November 26, 2005 Posted November 26, 2005 I didn't do much clothes shopping this time since I did a lot before BF. BUT we "adopted" a family close to my In Laws for Christmas this year instead of doing an "angel tree" card. This was my first time I have shopped for a little girl. We have two boys and I usually hit the Old Navy sales them throughout the year. I also had to pick up a couple of hoodies and some misc clothing for our friends in Germany so I could get their box out this week. For who I had to buy for I thought these were good deals... JCPenney: 2 tops and 2 pairs of pants for 30.00 (for the little girl. She is a 9) 3 pair of thick men's sweats for 30.00 (for DH) Areopostal: 3 hoodies at $15.00 each (for a my "spare children" and our German friend) 2 packs of socks for 12.00 (for my son who just had to buy something last night. LOL) Not the best deals, but I did avoid most crowds and the whole Areopostal store was 50% off and still had a great selection. I did try to shop for everyone at Old Navy during BF morning sales and that place was a MAD HOUSE! So, we went back out last night and did the "loose thread" shopping.
HollyBerry Posted November 26, 2005 Author Posted November 26, 2005 Thanks everyone! I am off to battle. I hope I have some luck on my side.
Lightning_ Posted November 26, 2005 Posted November 26, 2005 Well the NEX has 20% off ALL Kitchen Aid stuff, and a KILLER deal on the mixer!! It is normally $250 but is on sale for $199 then take an additional 20% off that, and to put the cherry on the top you get a $25 mail in rebate!!! The grand total for the mixer is $117 which is way more than $100 off!!!!!! They also have Precious Moments at 50% off. <---- That takes care of the wife! Go to www.Navy-nex.com and sign in to look at your local flyer, but be warned they also have A LOT of un-advertised deals if you have a smaller NEX. None of this is early morning type. It is a this weekend sale, if everyone wants the whole flyer I can post it up. Just let me know.
imjustagirl Posted November 26, 2005 Posted November 26, 2005 LeapPad does have a Thomas book. Not sure about My First LeapPad. LeapPad books are $7.88 at Kohls. The ad says off of all LeapPad games, so I was able to PM at Kohls who has a MUCH better selection then Kohls.
erh12275 Posted November 26, 2005 Posted November 26, 2005 WM still has the $6.88 leappad books.I am really mad because mine didn't have any of these.
mhystycmom Posted November 26, 2005 Posted November 26, 2005 LeapPad does have a Thomas book. Not sure about My First LeapPad.My First LeapPad does have a Thomas book. I can't recall the title, as I wrapped my son's things last night.
