$119 for the machine and 2 cartridges. The ad doesn't say which cartridges.

Maybe I'm dumb, but what's Walmart BF? I saw the cricut in the store yesterday at $184 which wasn't any better than Hobby Lobby.

A little bit more, on the rumor. It sounds like it is the small baby bug bundle that comes with George and Doodletype.

I guess Michaels is supposed to have this on sale for $129.

I'm trying to not be annoyed since I have used mine a ton since I got it, which I wouldn't have been able to do if I had waited until BF.

It is actually in our flyer but this walmart has NEVER had them and has a crummy section to begin with. I hate to battle all the people to find out it's not there, especially if I can sit in the comfort of my home and order it.
Although I am going out for some other stuff I just avoid that store and best buy like the plague. Last year people lined up at 9 pm to be the first in the stores!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:scared1: :scared1: I want/need nothing that bad that I will sit outside all night long.
so guesses anyone?

A little more, I guess it's not the normal baby bug bundle. It is the machine, George and a "Keystone" cartridge, which I guess is just a basic alphabet.

The person who reported this on 2Peas was able to purchase the bundle, already on sale today.

So what do you think? Is this a good deal or what? Just want to know if I should go for this or order the exspressions?:surfweb:

I got an email from JC Penny (not about cricut) that they will be opening at 4am BF! :scared1: I am sure their employees are thrilled! My mom worked in macy's for years, but she worked "behind the house" and had to be there everyday around 4am to get the trucks unloaded.

So, what is George?

I'm thinking about adding this to my short list, but I don't know what it really is and if I'll even use it.

Well, I still don't know exactly what it is, but DH got it for me anyway, and it's wrapped and sitting under the tree.....

Hoping you girls will help me learn to use it?

George is the name of a font. It is just uppercase letters The cartridge also includes basic shapes. You can see what you can make with the cartridge here

George is the basic cart that comes with most baby bugs

You could always start to hang out at the cricut messageboard until Christmas. It'll sure pass the time for you.
