Sounds like you ladies had some fun! I couldn't drag myself out of bed. I recently started some new meds for my stomach and they make me real sleepy! I may take Mom over to ACM later to use the 50% coupon for a gift for one of my brothers kids.

MA ladies - which Michaels are you talking about in a plaza? Is it the one off 495? I think I went there once..?? Last week I was at the one in Mansfield but that plaza has a Borders and not a Barnes & Noble.

No problem, Holly. Morgan is all over getting there again, she loves loves loves B&N and Panera.

I'm sad that we didn't get to see you, but loved texting you as you were driving by! I was going to try to find your house and drop some stuff off, but my co-pilot was getting whiny and hungry. Just means I have to see you this week!

Good luck today, DH just went to Target for a video game for himself, when he gets back, I'll go to ACM and get my credit. I *may* check out how bad WM is. I bet it's a zoo

can't wait. maybe we could make an afternoon out of it and have lunch at chilis! ??

Walmart has wii's for 199. that is the best price I know of...
mom and dad bought one for the kids this year!

 

[Quicklabs]

Scored Winter Woodland for $35.99 and Speaking of Fall for $27.99 at Michael's.
I was up at 5, to my Wal-Mart by 5:10 for the Cricut Expressions machine, only to be told that they were all GONE! The store was a madhouse! I was bummed. I did get the 1 Terabyte external hard drive for $79 THey had a short order line, so I was out of the store in 15 minutes. I need the photo storage.
My sister called me from the Indianapolis area at 8:20 a.m. She asked me what I had been looking for, since she had a space right at the door of Wal-Mart. She managed to grab me the Expression for $188! Woooo Hoooooooo
Went to Jo's--misread the ad and thought the carts were on sale today. Nope. Tomorrow. I will be at a dog show when Jo's opens, so no chance at those. However, they did give me 50% off Design Studio! So that was $45!!! Plus, 40% off mats--bought two packs for my new Expression. They had K&Company scrapbooks--bundled 2 in a pack for $9.99 (regularly 29.99) SCORE!
I'm pretty happy

thanks Nan!
i was just there and they had nothing for carts. i could not look @ wii's because ds was with me.

 

[PrincessNancy96]

No problem.. I'd give them a day or two to restock or check on line...

We are off to grocery shop shortly... and some other odds and ends... no BF sales and if I don't HAVE to HAVE it, it ain't coming home with me today!!! Do you think if the boys start fighting I can give them away in the mad house?

 

[party of 3]

sold out on line! snap! i wanted the bundle that wallymart had only available on line and it's sold out. darn it!
now i'll have to start scoping out the ads again. i wonder if i can find another bundle before christmas.


Nan- love 2 those boys. ma would say......there boys. its their job to fight!

Holly- try online for cyber monday- they have a website for that one too

Mom and I left the house at 2am to head to Toy's R Us- we got all kinds of toys for my nieces and nephews, a movie for DH, and some cards for our angel tree child.

We waited 80 minutes in line to check out at there and then headed onto Target- at target we got a griddle(brother-in-law), some movies, and toys.

Headed out of target and went to Kohl's - everything we wanted was available (griddle for DH), toaster oven(mom), nightgowns(niece), shirts(DH), toys, pillows

After that we headed to Bealls- got fisher-price toys 60% off, leash, shoes (me), and some men's gifts, we moved across the parking lot to Kmart and picked up some car things.

We headed to Wlagreens and mom got a hotwheels toy and a dance pad for my niece/nephew.

We drove down to the nearest walmart (7:30am) and looked for carts- didn't see those but got a mini crockpot and a princess dress up trunk

Afterwards we headed to our local Christian bookstore and picked up some books, toys, and music.

Our last stop included abother visit to Michaels(got Calendar cart and some drawing pads for angel tree), Bed Batrh & Beyond (various small kitchen items, snuggie for my puppy, and snuggies for my sister's kids).

I had decided it wasn't worth trying to drive to the other 2 walmarts- we were very tired.

I haven't decided if I am going to Joanns tomorrow or not- I don't have any carts I really need now.

DH and dad went out shopping at 3:30- at HHgregg they got a garmin(for us), a steam cleaner(for us), and 2 new flatscreen 21.5 monitors); then they headed to Sam's to get the Playstation 3 bundle from there(brother), Staples for Photoshop Elements(me), Photo paper, visor bluetooth(Dh and brother), batteries; then they moved onto Ace- lots of tools(DH).

Wow, Rebecca, you kicked it today!!

DH did our early morning run this morning. He got 5 sets of Disney pajamas for DS (they were $3 a set at Wally) and a Learn & Groove music table. Then, he went to Home Depot, but they weren't open. He ventured into Target, but the checkout lines wrapped around the inside, so he wouldn't even look for stuff! He went on to work, and then stopped at Home Depot again on the way home. He got a tape measure set (of 4) for $10 and the cutest Christmas rug for our front porch! We went back to Wally tonight to get groceries, and they had ONE V-smile baby (which we'd been wanting to get for DS). I had to take EVERYTHING off of the shelf to find it, but I re-stocked it!

We may go to Babies R Us tomorrow to look at a toddler bed (not for Christmas--just hoping for a sale!)

We are hoping to get the Christmas stuff down tonight!

can't wait. maybe we could make an afternoon out of it and have lunch at chilis! ??

Just tell me when and where sistah friend!

 

[ZeroToHero]

So I was good today! I didn't buy anything at work, or Express, even though they were having a 25% off sale, and our stores are connected...

When my mom went out to go food shopping, I had her get me the 10$ Sandylion sticker pack - there was a lot of cute stuff in there! There was also some I won't use, but a lot of it I will, which was great.

I picked out 7$ worth of stuff from AE.... other than that, I was good! I'm done Christmas shopping, and I need to save for books for next semester, so I need to not buy anything.

so if anyone sees a deal please let me know!
thanks!

The $199 price for the Wii at WM is what my parents got for us back in October, so they should have it back in stock before Christmas. I think this is the new average price on the wiil. Also you could check craigslist. I have seen a lot for sale with lots of extras. Don't know if you have a hhgreg store, but I saw the ad and they had it for $169,but I am not sure if it was a BF doorbuster or not.

NemoMom--did you get Elmo's Party?? I so want that one! I can't wait to hear about it!

 

[Disney Ontario]

Darn, I am mad a Michaels. In the flyer it said the "Sweet Treat" will not to be out until Nov.27 today. So I waitied until today and would you believe she said it came out Wed. the first day of the sale, so it was gone and all the christmas cartriges were gone. I did pick up the kitchen cartrige thought. $47.00.
I did hit the mall today, here in Ontario and the whole mall was tax free day.

 

[bearbear]

My MIL got an expression at walmart this morning. I didn't get much. I had to control myself. I think I did a good job. Just bought the calendar cart at michaels.

My ACM did not have it. If they did I would have gotten it. I was a little disappointed.

I called my M's around 1pm to see if they still had Sweet Treats. They said they only had two,so they held one for me. When I got there I saw about 10 or more of Sweet Treats, lots of Paisely, Pagoda, and all the others. They had lots left. I only left with Sweet Treats.

I had posted my Cricut deals earlier, but the other shopping deals so far this weekend.

M's - 4 Jetmax, 2 Iris, 4 frames
Walmart - Cricut, Sweethearts, Woodland Winter, Everyday Paper Dolls
Kohls Online - Plush blanket, 2 down comforters
JC Penny - 4 towels, plush blanket, 2 PJ bottoms, 1 PJ top
Target - 2 queen size sheet sets
Disney Store - 4 ornaments
M's again - Old West, 10 frames
Penny's again - Full size sheet set, Christmas present for Mom.

So I spent a ton, but I have brand new linens for our new queen bed, and for the guest room. And I will be able to frame a bunch of stuff. Lots of useful stuff, and not really shopping for the sake of shopping. Except the Cricut stuff...

My success story came to an end. I got a late start this morning, so I was probably #20 in line at J's. They had a display up front with all the tags for the cartridges they had. But they only let people in in groups of 5. Nice if you were first, since you could get all you wanted without any difficulty, but for me it meant no Storybook, by the time I got in. I did get Graphically Speaking, so I didn't leave empty handed.

 

[jacksmomma]

All in all it was a couple of great shopping days! I was able to get everything that I went after and just a few extras. I did buy the main thing on DS's Christmas list, the Geotrax Tibertown railroad for full price, just so we would have it. I am hoping that it goes on sale before Christmas so that I can either get a price adjustment or return and repurchase it. Otherwise, the deals were good.

I was up at 1:50 and in line for Kohl's about 3:15 on Friday. DH and my teenage sister went with me so that helped. We made it to Walmart by 4:45. I was the 4th person in line for the Cricut pallate. There was no employee to cut the plastic off at 5, so one of the resourceful ladies I was waiting in line with opened a pair of scissors and did it herself (she did buy the scissors after using them). I got Child's Year and had a red Cricut in my cart. I pused it around forever, but ended up putting it back. It just is not in the budget right now. I teared up as I put it back on the shelf. I went to J's today and got a Hello Kitty cart. It was one of the few left at about 10 am. I plan on exchanging it for a different one in a few weeks.

All in all a good trip, but I am still mourning the E that was almost mine.
