Thanks nerdi, the nearest store from my house is at 1 hour drive i think I better skip on Limited deals now Teehee

GH,
it is this [jcpenney.com] jacket, it is good but longer than express jackets, FYI. I ordered in both colors and used 20% off on it. I like colors and fit is nice. HTH heart

it's a pain but it seems like they're always doing kc, so i don't rule it out. i just don't factor it into my savings. i also try to return while the kc is still valid so that they can just deduct the kc rather than me losing it. it's annoying though, and a huge deterrent at this point. they need to stop making every other week a kc earning period. shake head
I just made a return on Sunday and it was an online return. I bought some men's shirts for my son for Christmas and got two sizes as I did not know which would fit him well I finally got him to tell me if they fit ok, the ones he had so I could take the others back. Well I had got them last July. And the lady acted irritated when she scanned it would not give her a price and she had to look it up on another register/computer. If she just looked at the invoice and minus the 15% and for all of them it was the same price. Well the way she did it she gave me more, the shirts were 5.00, so w/discount would have been 4.25 but she gave me 4.37/4.38 for them. Between the 4 shirts and the book I got .60 more back.

I don't buy stuff where I earn KC, to much pain. I went to do a return about couple weeks ago and this lady a few people in front of me was taking for ever because she did not want to lose the KC but still wanted the stuff. They kept having to explain to people that they would lose all or part of it. I was glad I only used KC to purchase so I got it back on a MC.
I buy coffee. That will not go to waste laugh out loud!

cute jacket! i have blue (express) and red/coral (kohls) so i guess i will pass.

i like limited clothes a lot - i think their style is more chic and quality is good. i just hate their CS. once i sent back 3 tops using a return label. 2 from one order, and 1 from another order. total refund was like, $45 or something. they charged me for 2 return labels and refused (even after at least 2 phone calls) to credit one of them. i gave up, and banned them for a year. i'm starting to add some more pieces into my closet tho.

laugh out loud! i'm still using the sb from that last deal from the sb online store... but i stopped for awhile bc i started using the refillable. i just ran out of ground coffee and it's far too much work to grind a scoop for the tiny kcup refill so i started using the sb cups again.

from now on i am only buying ground coffee.

that's good. i don't really notice a huge difference, but i have been buying S not XS so that probably means something. Smilie i have some tops from 2 yrs ago that are XS and giant. they must have change it while i was boycotting.

I'm too lazy for that refillable cup.

That's when their sizing was way big. Thank goodness it's gotten better.

She is just lucky none of the three of us waiting behind her did not mob her. And of course that day I had a bulky item to return. And because of my shoulder surgery I can't lift more than 3-4 pounds right now, so it was annoying. Should of thought to get one of those buggiesDoh. Didn't expect to take that long.

Thanks SmilingHelen for all the links!

I'm in trouble... Now I want all kinds of stripe bikinis. First it was that one... then SH posted the one and then I remembered there's another one with gold metallic stripes in b/w the sorbet-ish colors... I can't think, I'll just order them all and decide later!
You're welcome I think.. I love some of the striped bikinis I've seen from VS.. I ordered too many too.. Embarrassment At least they were a good price, especially with the PA..

Quote from hba123 :
Things were easier years ago..did not have to pay for overweight or extra bags when flying. I had a good role model..my mom always traveled with one bag just for shoes. Big Grin When we fly now, we know there is a good chance my daughter or I will have to move stuff from one bag and move to another to avoid fees. Thankfully hubby travels light so I get 2/3 of his suitcase too.
I take DH's luggage space too.. Embarrassment I can't help it.. where else would my shoes fit..
Although, when I was younger and traveling for 2 months at a time to south america with my family, my mom was extremely strict, even though we were allowed 2 luggages per person, so 12 luggages for our family of 6, my sister and I had to share one luggage for all our things for 2 months, and my older brother and younger brother had to share a luggage.. I can't even imagine doing that now! My mom however, would pack 9 FULL luggages of clothes to donate to some of the poorer neighborhoods and gifts to give out to family and friends... Just about each suitcase weighed the MAX weight allowed, I'm not sure if it's 70lbs for international, but she had them just about exact... She'd pack the donate things and gifts in what she called 'tullas', those big heavy duty thick green army duffels, huge bags.. and when we came home, we'd come back with 4-5 luggages depending on if we bought alot of things, and we had all the duffel bags folded in one of the suitcases..

Quote from ALVSGIRLY :
If I talked to them they would be all crazy and want to be bf/gf and freak me out. I just learned to be a beeotch to them early on to scare them away, I guess. That's the way I got them to leave me alone. I didn't want to be bothered by them.
DH asked me out sophomore year of high school... I yelled at him, told him to leave me alone... we're married now laugh out loud Got to start things off strong!

Quote from ALVSGIRLY :
they need to make people list their details when reviewing clothing. we need a height and weight.
Of course, people would just lie if they were asked outright, but I'm glad you all mentioned writing a review with a height, I've never put my height in a clothing review, I probably should..... Teehee..

Quote from nerdicus :
it should be a separate optional box! or better yet, not optional - select what size you bought and fill in height and weight!


speaking of certs, i just found 6 more. i thought i had used them all!
woot I have 1 left I just realized, from the ones that they emailed out..

hug That's definitely annoying.. You get excited when you only see one person in line in front of you.. and then you wait for 15 minutes while they get their transaction in order.. Frown

Annoyed i'm looking at my cc statement. it's way too confusing. they've charged me shipping on some but i have random credits for around what shipping should be as "gift wrap" but the only problem is I order so much it will be a pita to keep everything straight and balance it. A little poed at them right now and don't even know if they owe me any shipping fees because the way they do things is shady and confusing. why can not just be normal? is it really that hard laugh out loud. glad the certs are gone. i'm cutting way back on my vs!

From what I heard, he was very dejected after that incident, one of my friends called him a punk, so he asked me out again via a really really cute note (the kind that says 'Yes', 'No', 'Maybe') and we went out to a school function for pizza...
Sadly, I didn't save that note.. of all the little things I keep in my memory box, including the ribbon from the corsage he got me for a winter dance (it wasn't prom, he didn't have to do that, but I found out later his mom said it'd be really nice.. she was right Smilie)


Also, from what you wrote earlier, I signed into my VS CC account, and I saw a random $7.48 credit, but then I saw a charge for shipping on one of the orders, but it had never shown a shipping charge under my orders on victoriassecret.com... so confusing.. but everything seems to be in order at least.. I'll be checking in a few days to see if they process the shipping refund on the other order as well as the price adjustments..
