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?

At least look into stacking with a cashback portal.

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 .

Rushes off to go look at red....

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

They refund them back to wherever they came from, whether GC or CC. I applied pretty much what I needed and checked the balance on debarkation morning, all charges applied and paid for. A couple months later I was double checking Disney gc balances before I tossed out old cards. Found DCL had refunded money to one of my GCs

Agree @SouthFayetteFan we are super churners! Lol

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?

I pack a smallish crossbody. I love the motherlode, I like that its boxy for travel because I feel like it holds more, better.

Yum! I always loved the cosmic brownies

Cosmic brownies are my jam. I should link my friends blog post where she has a recipe for homemade ones. She tells a story about being jealous of this girl having them for lunch everyday, it's about me

I had some unused funds I had loaded and they couldn’t get the refund to go through so sent me a check. That was a nice bonus!

I had a table in prek at lunch, I'd go buy a star crunch for a quarter. Elementary had ice cream for 50¢.

That’s what I have for me and it works great. If DH gets the motherlode I may need to get him an ultralight backpack or packable bag for the parks. He saw mine and said it looks awesome.

My DH has started talking about being open to carrying a backpack, I'm like good you carry all of our crap! Lol

But really a lot of times I stick two water bottles in my bag in the morning. Sunscreen stick, 2 cheap ponchos, phone battery, cards/cash, advil for DH (or his feet...), and a fold up bag for things we buy.

Really most would probably not call it small... it's a travelon tour bag.

Does anyone know if the "trick" to rescheduling ADR's to avoid the no-show fee still works? I'm very indecisive about our HS day next week. If the crowds stay somewhat light and we get there at 6 am, I think we'll be ready to leave before our 12:00 HBD ADR, so I also made a Homecomin ADR for lunch while we decide. Not sure if I need to make up my mind now or can wait until day of. TIA!

I just did this a couple weeks ago. I never got charged

For you anti frosting folks, she doesnt put any on them in her recipe

Yes, I was a weird child.

 

[NewbieMom]

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

Ditto on the Nutty Buddys!! Now I want one...it's been years...

 

[StephPlum]

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.

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

All the food today..... What was up? Brownies MUST have walnuts in them to be brownies! No to cosmic brownies. They make them with nuts as well!

Pop tarts - I didn't see anyone name the best one - Chocolate Fudge. Never ate them as breakfast but a snack. You can probably see a chocolate theme here!

Uncrustables - I was the cheap parent and made PB&J sandwiches and made the kids eat the crust. Never had uncrustables here.

Of course! I'm not in a huge hurry so I can wait for one to offer a good % just wasn't sure if Dell ever put stuff other than their own products on sale.

Blech I disagree with both of those things. Nuts in brownies is a big no no. The chocolate fudge pop tarts are disgusting

My mom bought the donut sticks and we ate those for “breakfast”. Definitely not a breakfast food lol

Totally agree. I hate nuts in baked goods (except macadamia nuts in milk/white chocolate chip cookies).

Those sound good and no nuts! I think I have some cocoa powder that needs to be used too! But the real question is, how is the batter because while I'm good with the finished product, I also like a good batter as I bake. Might have to make these this weekend.

Nature Valley has new wafer bars that are almost better than Nutty Buddy bars!
