Christmas Shopping 2010

[mickeymouseclubhouse]

I am falling behind

I did get GO GO my walking pup for DD. I got a good deal (I think). I got it at TRU and it was tagged $56.99, rang up $49.99 minus my 20% off 1 item coupon and my $3 off coupon..so I got it for $36.99

I also got the Monkey and Dog pillow pets the kids wanted and I got DS9 an Abercrombie pull over hoodie for $17.70 (40%off) and a Phineas and Ferb book from the Disney store.

My DS9 shouldn't be too hard. His list for this year:

Monkey pillow pet
Hess truck w/airplane
underwear
Thesaurus
Dictionary

LOL..He's too funny.

I picked up the Go Go My Walking Pup for DD4 yesterday at Target. On sale for $44.99-$10.00 coupon from toy book-$5.00 manufacturer coupon = $29.99
I wasn't going to buy it, but couldn't beat that price!

Sounds like you got some good deals and a lot of shopping done!

I ended up getting the Nextbook from HSN. I have until January 31st if I need to return them no matter what. I have played around with them today and I love them and all the apps. plus they are in color. I know my girls will love them!

Dang - this would've been ideal for DS *any idea where I can find this same item?? **HSN is sold out**

Bummer(good for you though )..What coupon toy book? I didn't get one, I also didn't get the TRU big toy book thing they send out either.

I still think you did pretty good on the price for the dog! I just happened to read about the deal on slickdeals and so I decided to go ahead and get one.

Target mailed out a toy book with coupons but I know they also had them in one of the the Sunday papers and at my local Target they had a bunch of the books on the endcaps of the aisles. The coupons from the toy book are only good until tomorrow though. Did you get the ad for the 4 day sale for Target that ends tomorrow? They have some great deals and a 50% off coupon for any Disney Princess doll or dress. I was able to pick up the 7 doll princess set for $27.99 with the coupon! I may go back tomorrow and pick up a princess dress (about $8 after coupon) for dd with my other coupon.

Target has been awesome this year!

WOW..good deals!
No I didn't get that ad BUT when we get back I will be spending some alone time at Target. It actually is my new favorite place. I never shopped there before and when I realized how close this newer one is to my house(and how nice/clean it is), I have gone a few times..I just have not been to the toy section yet.
Thank you

I'm so excited...it's almost black friday. Tomorrow i'd like to pick up the IXL at either TRU or Walmart if there are any left. Those big book sales end tomorrow and no one is selling the IXL on black friday!

On black friday I'm hoping to get Mindflex, all of our PJ sets and slippers for the kids, the leapster 2 and a leapster game, and also a coat for the "angel" we adopted for Christmas!

What is a good price to pay for Mindflex? Do you have a specific place and price you are planning for it? It's on my list too. I was thinking of buying on Amazon for $58 today, but maybe I should wait?

Was about to get the Zhu Zhu castle set all 3 pieces at Wal-Mart today- in line to check out and a mgr came and took them out of the cart "they weren't supposed to be put out until Friday morning" - OOOK - she was taking them out of any cart she found- they said they wouldn't ring up . boo.

My husband, who is a District Manager for Home Depot, said he would have allowed you to buy them. Not your fault they were put out ahead of time.

Then of course, he would have had someone pull the rest off the shelf and gone and kicked someone's butt for putting them out too soon.

I feel so evil today. I had to wrack my brain trying to figure out what to get Dh this year so I was thrilled when he mentioned a series of books he wanted by his favorite author. I went online and ordered them last night. Then this morning the library called and said he had a book reserved so I stopped in to get it and realized it was the series I ordered for him so I asked the librarian to put them back, lol. It's a small town so I know her, she put them back and put a note in the computer for no one to request them, just to tell him they're lost if he asks. Luckily he works alot so he doesn't have much spare time to stop in there.

I just looked in our past...

It looks like the lowest I saw it dip to, by checking REAL quick, on amazon was 52.17. And that was July of 09.

So, I think anything around 50 is a deal. Around 40 is a steal. 60, maybe you could go a little lower, but, are you willing to deal with the headaches?

Take that for whatever it's worth.

And we GOT MINI Lalaloopsy's today! MGA Entertainment was nice enough to send them to us for a hands on review. We even got video.

They are just like the bigger one, but, more rag doll like. They flop around like a marionette. Very neat stuff. They are only $5.99 MSRP too.

So far, they are only making early appearances in store at Target and TRU, but, I'm sure online is just a moment away.

And for the people that love SingAMaJigs, the "big" one comes out tomorrow at 10PM at TRU!!

SANTA.

They know it's going to be hot. Watch the TRU commercial that's on now closely. He's ALL over it. All over it.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Ok, I know its a long shot but, does anyone have any tips on how to locate Monster High Dolls? I broke down and ordered a $34 Draculaura off Ebay but, I still need to find Clawdeen. Its the only thing my daughter has repeatedly asked for!

We have gone to (online as well) Target, Toys R Us, Walmart, Walgreens (the closest one doesn't carry them) and I have been on Amazon nightly. I was able to get the Dawn of the Dance Clawdeen on Amazon on BF for $14.99 but, when I showed my daughter online she thought she "was ok but, I really want the regular one". I've asked store employees about when they are delivered but, I always get different answers.

I have never had to search for a toy like this. Frustrating to say the least! Any tips?

Clawdeen was the hardest one to locate for me but I finally found it at Justice and sometimes they have them online at Justice.

Thanks! I forgot Justice carried them. We have an outlet store about an hour away. I will call there tomorrow.

I agree, Justice is the way to go. You need to use the 40% off (sale or coupon - seems one or the other is always going on) or they are $29.99.... Or if you are buying two and have J bucks to spend that would bring it down some as well.

And....you have a Justice OUTLET??? Our regular (and small ) store is an hour away. I WISH we had an outlet *sigh*
