My store was marking down this morning too. As far as I could tell every toy on clearance went to 75% today. Bought a cart full then went to an appt. After the appt I stopped back by to see if they had finished and got another cart full. Bought tons more than I had planned but got some great stuff. It is the first time I have gotten to the toy clearance before it was picked over. I was sad not to be able to roll it into an overage deal, but thankful I got so much!

Tired today. Got stuck at work til 1 am. By the time I got home, changed, .relaxed and in bed it was 3! The toddler woke me up at 6:15... I am dragging, but it didn't stop me from shopping. Smilie

We've been having problems for a while with the car not wanting to start after a rain storm. .... this whole shopping thing is annoying - I just can't seem to stock up like I used to.
I am sorry - could it be moisture in the distributor cap? fuel line? Hope you guys get it figured out!!!! Hear you on the shopping - I did make one trip and got 6 cans of ravioli --- and the rest of the stuff I didn't have coupons for.

nice, ours are doing well, but not 50+ well, unless you count the cheeries Wink
Mind you this is my first year planting anything, my garden has been overtaken by weeds....went out every day and pulled, just couldn't keep up....and I have 8-10 plants all squished together and they're doing this well. So, to remain on topic in this thread I do believe it was the cow-POOP-compost my dh got from his dad's farm....and it made the weeds grow amazingly well tooLMAO

Where do you live? I would give my left arm (or maybe a Thomas Train purchased at 75% off) for some free tomatoes!
I am in Iowa; I think most of you all are waaaaaaaaay far away from meFrown Sad, cuz it would be free tomatoes for allWhee

Quote from TheGh0st :
Good for YOU!


I'd like to put in an order for a few green tomatoes. Been jones-ing for some Green Fries lately, but here in the inner city very few people garden and my property is ALL shade so not very garden friendly.
We live near the center of town and our backyard literally floods everytime it rains so I had to make our garden in our side yard....it is really small but since I had no clue how much space you are really supposed to leave everything I just squished everything togetherSmilie It worked Dontknow

I still can't believe what just happened to me at T. I stopped by a T to get some soy milk and to check out C9 items this morning. I hadn't used a C9 coupon or Merona TQ whatsoever since the TQs came out and I wanted to check out the items. I was lucky enough to find a few marked-down C9 work-out clothes for myself. I also found two Merona handbags for the two refugee families that I have been helping out on.

I strolled down the toy aisle and surprised to see a huge mark-down team working there. I happened to stand right in front of 2 Tag Junior systems that were marked down to $8.84 (from $3x.xx). I was very excited because the parents of the two refugee families don't speak any English. I thought it would be great to buy the system to help the kids (2 yr, 5 yr, 10-month) of the 2 families learn English. I picked up one and put it in my cart. When I was about to pick up the other one, this woman snatched it off literally one second before my hand touched the package. I looked at her and said "Ma'am, I was just about to take that one." She said "But you didn't." I said "I was going to until you snatched it off." She said "It's right there and you did not grab it." She had her kid with her. I looked at her daughter and simply told the mother to keep it. If that's how she wants to be her daughter's role model, so be it.

I went on to grab a few more toys. When I was done with the toy aisles, I decided to go back to the Leapfrog section to check out the books. I made a huge mistake. I left my cart in the middle of the next aisle, instead of strolling it with me. By the time when I came back, my cart was GONE. I looked up and down every single aisle but couldn't find it. I got a few mark-dowon team members to help me. A few minutes later, I saw a team member with my C9 clothes and handbags walking to the clothes section. I stopped him and told him those were my items.

Someone grabbed all my toys. Took out all my C9 clothes and hangtags and threw them on the ground (a team member found them and picked them up). Tossed my 5 recycle bags that I have used for 5 years on one of the shelves in a toy aisle. As for my cart, it was gone.

I know it's my fault not to take my cart with me but I was only gone for less than a minute!!!!

Sadly - there were only two and they were different than each other. If I'd found multiples of the same toy I would have offered to ship it to you.

efelicity, holy cow! Whoever took your cart sure has some anger issues. If I find one of the Tag marked down, I'll gladly send one your way.

eFelicity, ugh that is terrible!! I've noticed that there are some really, really rude ppl that shop the clearance sales (and definitely some really nice ones too.) Don't beat yourself up over it though, I mean really you should be able to take a few steps away from your cart and know that it'll still be there, that's just disheartening that grown adults feel the need to act like thatMad

hug

eFelicity, How RUDE! I can't believe how some people will behave.

I leave my cart all the time, rather than pushing it up & down each aisle. Today is the first time it made me nervous, I kept looking back at it to make sure nobody was near it and at the same time wondering why I was so jumpy.

Now I know why.

eFelicity, I can't believe that happened to you. Actually I can, but it's sad to admit that I can believe people would be like that. I hope you are able to find more good deals hug

Ank, glad the doc's appt went well!

Whee I can't hardly sit still. I swear if the boss saw how much work I was (NOT) accomplishing today he'd fire me for sure. I swear every time I try to focus on work I can't manage to go more than 2 or 3 seconds without the words Target, Toys or Clearance pooping into my head. Crazylaugh

I am just Pray that there are still some toys after work.

I was able to pick up enough for my son's B-Day & X-mas before work and a few bubble party favors but really need to pick up some for nieces/nephew's X-mas and a couple friends of his that are having b-day's in the next few weeks. Just didn't have time to look for them this a.m.

And after what happened to eFelicity, I just DARE anyone to try to touch my cart! Numchucks
