Hey just thought I would let you know my "secret" for picking out great watermelons. No thumping or any crazy stuff like that either. When you pick up a watermelon it should be very heavy for its size. If it is roughly the size of a basketball it should weigh around 13 or 14 lbs. HTH.
Thanks! That does help! I will keep that in mind when I buy the next one. I just picked the last one up and threw it in the cart without hardly looking at them. OMG

I am working today too.. hospital doesnt close. Thankfully I was though.. FIL was brought in via ambulance and is now in ICU. My wonderful co-workers though kept telling me to go check on him all day... Right now, his ICU bed is about 15ft from my desk so at least I can easily check on him all the time

Doublesided and any others with little ones. I know we were talkign about potty training the other day and I saw the funniest thing at Walmart today.

Its a training potty, that is like a slot machine, appopriateley named JackPotty, I actually laughed out loud when I saw it. I am thinking on getting it

here is a link so you can see it

http://www.walmart.com/catalog/pr...id=8342867
I bought the baby bjorn potty a while ago on a good amazon sale. I actually just took it out a couple of days ago and put it in bathroom so he can get used to seeing it around

PS-shredded all my etq's this morning. OMG I haven't got time for the pain, will stick to regular deals, there are plenty these days

Hey Stormy, I searched all over toys for the FP3 player for you and I didn't find it yet, though I do still have hope since it looks like they have found some more toys and put them out. Last week they only had 1 of a particular toy I have been watching and this week there was 6 more boxes woot Now I feel pretty comfortable waiting for it to drop in price.

Sounds like the fridge clean out I did for my boyfriend when I first met him... things in there that had expired 3 years before... I filled up a trash bag full of stuff in addition to a very large bag of cans and bottles to recycle. vomit

As far as the coupon contest - do "antique" coupons count? I have odd collections of things... too bad it's all packed up to move - but I'll see if I can dig them up Smilie

There is some cute old school fisher price stuff in that same aisle, a clock, a phone, around 14.99 each.
My mom and I had gone to T last night together real fast - she fell in love with those old looking toys. Apparently I went through 3 of those TV ones when I was younger laugh out loud

Oh ugh bad memories. I dated this horrible person once, well he wasn't horrible initially but turned out to be a freak. I went through his fridge/freezer and cupboards and filled up 3 trash bags of expired stuff. It was so nasty.

I bought the clock. Will get the TV eventually. Someone gave us the phone a while ago.

Since my abandoned cart run, I decided to wean myself off of the ETQs. The only one I still use is the $2 Gatorade, since I like stocking up on the 1/2 gallons. I only have 2 Targets, and now only the further away store carries the 1/2 gallons. I don't even try them on the small bottles at my closest, pickiest T.

OK I did keep some gatorade, a few capri suns and a few 1.25 off 93/7 meat. But that's it and I figured those are fairly harmless and I'm using them for the exact items. I shredded a pail full of others.

The main objective was to pay off a huge bill we had and cut corners. The bill was paid last week. So now our finances are better off and I can breathe a bit easier. I'll always use coupons but I don't think I'm going to be as diligent as I was, it was a lot of work. It paid in the long run but I couldn't do that for much longer, the time element was killing me. And cashier coupon haters. And gas, my stores are all far away. I figure if it's a good sale week, a run on Sunday and a run during the week will work. My busy season at work is starting soon so figure I may as well wean myself now, I won't have time for anything in a couple of months.

I dumped 2 runs this month. Between that, the toy q fiasco and recent stories on here, I'm keeping it straight. Durex is perfectly legit and will help me take care of stuff I "want" but don't need.

i know the durex cpn is legit but if you were talking abt the $5 durex at my store the AP guy knew it is for massagers and not any durex play...and he said that without even looking at the cpn (the cashier told him durex cpn is not going thru )...but he also told me target has been lately having lots of probs with mfr not redeeming them....

Oh Ariel, thanks for remembering me! Dont forget I have a Kmart right next to me, so if you need anything, let me know.

I went to an a further away Kmart today, no dog bones, but I got cans, and cat food, and of course (go ahead and laugh Double) some toys!

No I use the condom one.

Stormy-c'mon, buy food or garbage bags or something. No more toys!!! Well at least tell me about the other play wonder ones so I can decide if I want to beg people to look for them for me.
