    Metal Detectors - what's an affordable brand that will work at the beach?

    My dad bought my mom one from Big Lots. They carried several different models. He got an adult one and a kids one packaged together for $99. They had cheaper ones. But it's a closeout store, so you'll never know what you'll find! If you find an individual on craigslist, ask them if you can...

    First, I want to thank everybody for the actual gift ideas. I might go through some clearance racks and look for some solid or small print onesies and then make her something. But seriously people, I'm not looking for harsh comments. I was looking for Budget gift ideas. I LOVE giving...

    Budget Baby Shower gift? The is a budget-related rant...

    They don't seem like needs for somebody who already has a baby under 2 years old! Who NEEDS a rectal and ear thermometer? I got my thermometer for free from Walgreens. :rotfl: It just bugs that be acts like she is so poor and all. I know $7.99 for some fleece pants is very extravagant. I...

    Converse sneakers on sale?

    Have you tired the official converse web site? They used to normally carry some kind of clearance ones for $30 or less. But I haven't looked there in a while.... I've bought cheap ones at Dillards, Hot Topic, and Ross. It's also a good deal when you get the $10 off the $50 or something along...

    Selling Used Textbooks?

    If they are still the editions being used at your local schools, please sell them on craigslist! I'm a college student and I can't tell you how great craigslist is for used textbooks. It's so easy to meet somebody at the school and pay cash! ...Who wants to pay for shipping on a 3,000 page...

    Cheap/good Wii game that uses the wheel? Help...arrgghh!

    You should totally get Mario Kart Wii! You might be able to save $5 by getting it used at a game store, but I say just splurge and get an un-scratched one you can register with nintendo club. You could go through some old games and trade them in for credit at gamestop! The wheel itself is...

    Solid color baby onesies- Where to find?

    Maybe a craft store? I think Joann's has some because they have a section of iron-ons for babies. "Party in my crib: 3 AM" "I cry over spilt milk"

    Would you buy a Wii?

    Off Topic: Play DDR with socks on! I know it says to use bare feet... but I think that is just the legal reason so you won't slip, hit your head on something, die, and slap Nintendo or Koami with a lawsuit. You can also buy generic mats that are padded and made of more fabric material rather...

    Government Assistance help? support?

    I notice some people here and there are bashing those on government assistance. I don't know if I qualify or "deserve" it as I am against "spread the wealth" mentality. But the government is spending money so fast. If other people are getting it, why can't I try too? :confused3 I want to try...

    Help with my first garage sale

    I sell things at a local flea market which is my form of a "yard sale." I make sure everything is marked and mark everything UP in price. Nicer hanging clothes are marked $1 over what I will sell them for. So if somebody picks something up I'll tell them I'll take less before they ask or have...

    UP- 3D worth the extra money?

    I saw it in 3D. I've never paid $11 to see a movie. Sheesh! The graphics were really good period. But it is Pixar and that is to expected. After a while I forgot I was watching a 3D movie and just thought "wow, this is a good movie." My 47 year old mother thought the 3D movie was pretty...

    I'm 21 and my boyfriend is 26 and we are always playing the Wii! I'm not a serious gamer either, but the Wii is so addicting! We are both obsessed with Mario Kart. Mario Party is another favorite and is fun to play when we have friends over. We also have Wii Music, which is entertaining but...

    Hairless body for less?

    Thanks! This was a helpful reply! I was reading my conair's electric manual and it says that at first most women don't get the results they expect. It takes a while for your skin to get used to it. I didn't realize this! I'm feeling hopeful! I'm just concerned about I have another one break...

    Hairless body for less?

    Wait? You've been using the same razor since july 2008? Is it even still sharp?! Do you have to keep going over the area and stuff? It just doesn't even seem sanitary to me. Blades pick up dead skin cells and bacteria grows on it after a while. I don't dry my blade with anything. Paper products...

    Hairless body for less?

    Anybody ever tried that save-a-blade as seen on TV product? Does it work well? I've read some bad reviews on it. I bought my monthly pack of Venus razor refills at Wal Mart and the price has gone up yet again. The basic blades are $9.24 for a 4 pack! I've already wasted a lot of money on...

    The official converse website! When I was buying converse for an xmas gift, they had many styles around $20 each! Last month, I found a pair with sequins all over for $25 at Dillards. I've paid over $40 for a pair before, so I thought that was a steal! I've also seen some cheaper ones at...
