OMG, I am watching the Gilmore Girls right now, and Lorelei is describing the glory of the very first time she tried a pop-tart!

How funny! Two of this thread's favorite off topic subjects coming together!

Wait how were you able to sit down there and work with the mounds of cereal? I’ve watched some of the TLC extreme couponers shows and those people worship their stockpiles. I can’t imagine it doesn’t spoil before you get to eat.

I am imagining @SouthFayetteFan sitting on a thrown of cereal boxes instead of his recliner!

You can call and add GCs to your onboard account now if you want to. I just went to guest services in the ship and gave them a couple every day to add to my balance. You can check your current balance on the app once you’re onboard

If you have leftover funds in your onboard account, how do you get them back?

Yum! I always loved the cosmic brownies

Brownies shouldn't have frosting! That's a cake with sprinkles. It's just as bad as the people that ruin perfectly good brownies by putting nuts in them.

Guys I LOVE my Spanish sandals that arrived today!! I saw similar styles the last time we were in Barcelona but didn’t have time to shop. Then I saw a teen with similar sandals when we were in California. I managed to catch the brand name, Pons. I finally got around to googling and found them on amazon with free returns. They are so comfortable and stylish in an understated way. I went with the ones with the extra ankle strap because I have narrow feet and they always slip off. I’m so glad I did. It dressed them up a bit.

Not my photo since I only have one one at the moment

Now I want one in all the colors!!

Super narrow feet, too here-those look great.

FYI - Marriott claims to have fixed the issue where children on a booking trigger the extra person fee of $100.

Those are good but Swiss Cake Rolls and Nutty Buddys are my kryptonite!

Totally agree, except the nuts part! Love nuts in my brownies. Not a fan of Cosmic Brownies myself though. Now Nutty Bars....

If you've just put down gift cards, it will go back to them (which is why you have to keep them!). Typically if you have any onboard credits (from TAs or prepayments) they'll pull from the OBC first, gc next.

Shoes are hard with narrow feet, especially sandals. I have the cutest pair of espadrilles that I can’t wear because my heel flops out.

Star Crunch, Zebra Cakes and Nutty Bars.

Staples of a camping vacation.

The motherlode jr. looks great. A bit boxy but it’s not going to be my everyday backpack (I don’t think). Just for travel and I love the organization! Although for those that have it, do you pack a separate smaller backpack for the parks?

Bringing the Motherlode Jr. to the parks would be torture, lol! I brought my packable daypack and went through the no bag line (compresses to the size of rolled up socks). Love that thing. I bring it on all trips.

You forgot @wendow. She seems to be under control too

I generally only look at Dell for laptops but now that I've bought my laptop and mom got her new one using my account I've got dell rewards I need to use. I'm looking at a garmin to replace the fitbit hr I have that doesn't want to sync any more no matter what I do. So annoying considering it's not even 2 years old.

Does the non laptop stuff, like the fitness trackers, ever go on sale or should I just buy when it's convenient for me?

Been playing around at the World so utterly behind but just saw this on DoC https://skift.com/2019/09/16/expedia-and-united-agree-to-multi-year-contract-avoiding-messy-divorce/

As someone who does end up using URs on UA at 1.5x sometimes I’m quite happy.

We probably could’ve been on the show. I think we also had 80 tubes of free toothpaste at the time. The 120 boxes of cereal was crazy because we were getting paid $0.25 a box to carry them out the store. Yes - we MADE money buying those!!! It took a ton of time. I spent hours a week planning our grocery trip and we would go to 3 different stores most weeks.

The show unfortunately killed it though. Too many people tried to jump in. Some did ok, some also did stupid stuff and killed it. (sound familiar to any churners????) Once the stores cracked down on the coupon policies it was all over and these days it’s a shell of itself. We abandoned ship and I moved on to be obsessed with churning which is obviously much more lucrative!!


I had to read it a couple of times but I understood it finally before moving on lol.

I used to be an extreme couponer too. Had the shelves stacked in the garage and loaded with all sorts of things.

Hmm it seems like couponing is a gateway discount to churning.

Big time coupiner too here! I still do CVS and Walgreens. It’s definitely a gateway drug - they’re both chasing that rush for getting something for free or almost. Gosh, I Love both of them.

My parents brought me a red pair from Spain a year ago and I wear them with jeans every Friday to work. They’re unbranded so THANK YOU for posting the name and link. 2 of them will trigger the Amex Amazon offer .

I love my junk food especially when traveling. Possible there is candy & jerky in my current possession and I’m looking to replace the super unhealthy chips that I love (because I already ate them)...
