An Added Shopping Twist to the Crazy Credits contest

[linanglab]

Never heard of Lids before. That is a nice shop! I ordered 1 son a Colts hat, the other son a Bengals hat. DD got a cheapie ND hat. I ordered DH a Nike beanie for his stocking (he loves those things). I also ordered both boys shirts to go with their hats! I almost did not order them because it was a bit expensive, but those hats are NICE!!!! My boys will love them.

How about Crazy for Bargains? I'm thinking of placing an order today. Thanks.

They are actually already at an increased rate for the whole month of November. We got a special with them for 10%, when it is usually 6%.

Man I wish I could shop but we are on a spending hold for a long time . Now if any pet stores are added I may cancel my pending hold to get flea meds .

Angela - you are going to be in trouble!!! Lids is like a magnet for my DH at the mall - if we go, we're guaranteed to be in there for like 30 minutes just looking at hats!!! What a good shopper you are!!!

Catharine and Tommygirl - I will just not tell them WHERE I got the hats! It will be mom's little secret! Maybe I could use it for a bribe....("I will get you another hat if...") I know, I know...shouldn't bribe. But hey, whatever works!

I don't know - When I was a naive-smart alec-just-married-with no kids-know it all, I SWORE I would never use bribery with my children and that it was so wrong. I thought if you couldn't reason with your children without it, you were a horrible parent...

Fast forward 6 1/2 years and I stand by the philosophy that a little bribery never hurt anyone - if it gets your kids to do something you really want them to do...

don't think of it as a bribe, but as an incentive. Those go on on the adult world too. I laugh at those who say you shouldn't bribe kids. Whatever!

I can't belive you have never seen lids! I am not a hat person but even that store stops me. It has sooooo many hats! your kids are going to LOVE you
