So far I have bought:

Off of Ebay:

Cheesecake Factory $25.00 for $23.02 (For me and DH - One of our favorite's)

$69.13 Walmart Store Credit with Free Shipping for $66.00 (Using for gas...saving that 3-cents)

$25 Build-A-Bear Gift Card for $20.00 and Free Shipping (For My Niece's Birthday)

$15 STARBUCKS GIFT CARD for $15.00 and Free Shipping (Adding to a Gift Basket I am making for my sister)

$15 Blockbuster Gift Card $15.00 with Free Shipping (We rent a LOT of Blockbuster!)

2 Black Ink Cartridges for the Fax Machine at work for $22.00

2 Color Ink Cartridges for the Fax Machine at work for $22.00

I still have to get some Frontline and Treats for my dog from Petco

A Laptop Mouse for my Daughter off of Ebay

A personalized Beer Mug for my hubby from Engravable Gift Collection

I have a list going for Disney Shopping. Not a lot just a few things I've been eye-balling!!

and a few of my regular magazine subscriptions from MagazineDiscountCenter

Now I just hope it all credits. My computer froze up about an hour after my first ebay purchase this morning and I had to reboot. I didn't clear cookies though, so I hoping it was ok!

Wow, you're good. I need to do some serious searching-I need UPF/moisture wicking shirts yesterday, as every flipping one I have has become defected.

I stocked up at Disney yesterday. I am also buying quite a few things at Sephora for myself. LOL! I'm on the hunt for pjs for the girls and am thinking about ordering a couple of the personalized football mugs.

Yes, you are. This is my idea...you post your shopping and that will give me ideas. BTW, drugstore.com has Frontline Plus, on sale. I have been checking prices there and at the pet stores and for me, buying 3 doses for dog and 6 for 2 of the cats (Angel never, ever, goes out) it was cheaper.

We are, as usual, having computer issues. Had 2 computers online, went to put the third online and my laptop went bonkers, looks to be in Safe Mode. So, my shopping is on hold until I get it fixed.

LMAO I had the same thought! I have been saving up to see what SR had in store for us this month! I always get ideas from reading what other people are buying! OH I just remembered! I need some things from Vitalicious too!

Burning up the ole credit card :rolleyes:

I just bought a coffee table from CSN Stores. I have been needing one since we moved into the house in OCTOBER! It's a wooden trunk and it was only $159. I think I could be addicted to CSN Stores.

Christmas in July. Everyone is getting Coal this year. LOL! No I have been having to buy for hubby for fire. But I have bought a lot.

2 orders from Hanes one for the Relay at the end of the month and one for fire stuff

2 orders from Shoebuy one for casual and one for work

Had to get the cherry necklace on emitations from the Sex in the City Movie

Had to buy shoe racks, hangers, and a paper towel holder from Container Store. I need to buy a few drawers but for the shipping I am gonna go to the store. It isn't going to cost me over 20.00 in gas to get there. Sorry =(

I had to get a TV stand for the house since hubby sold mine so that was fabulous. One way furniture 6% increase and free shipping. You can't beat it.

And then I spent my life savings at drugstore.com for hubby too.

Now I need to buy a cell phone charger, some speakers for his ipod, the fire engines don't have speakers and they decided they need music. I need to buy some uniform pants that match his uniform shirt. A great store with cash back would be nice. And then I think that is it for now. My mom is buying my vacuum for the best buy points and she is getting the cash back.

Whew!!!:sunshine:

I think Ebay is one of those things that you just take to or you don't LOL

I am an Ebay addict. I have been wanting to open a store, even have it built, but have not had the time to take pictures and list all the stuff. My computer room looks like childrens store HEE HEE :p

Well, I started July 1st. Does that count? LOL.

I've been waiting all day for my apple from Mrs. Prindables to arrive. Just my luck UPS will deliver it while we're all at VBS this evening.:(

USPS delivered my order from Lane Bryant today. That had a really great sale. You spend 75 and get 25 dollars off. I got 3 pair of pants and two shirts for less than a 100.00! This is for our Vegas trip.

I bought some Nighties from Fredricks of Hollywood. They were having an excellent sale. (Vegas trip-No Kids)

I also bought 3 beautiful tunics from Casual Living. (Vegas Trip)
Just received their new catalog, so I'll probably place another order.


Gotta have new shoes for the new outfits, so I hit up Masseys.

I still have some more to buy. I'm definitely gonna hit up the limited time only increases. I checked out Printable Games today. I think I'll buy the year around pack of holiday games. That particular package was on sale. Nothing like family fun.

An order from Taylor Gifts is needed and I might just buy something from MyJewleryBox as well.

Happy Shopping, Everyone!

WOW!! All of you are a bad influence!! I balanced my checkbook yesterday & was very sad. I had a list of items going to buy, and I convinced myself I didn't/shouldn't get them now...but.....hmmm....

I do have to add I LOVE eBay & have also loved selling on ebay! Andrea-be sure to let us know when you get your store open!! And congrats on the Disney gift cards! I've never thought about looking for GCs there either!! Thanks for the info!!

Wait till you get them. These have to be one of my favorite pair of earrings now, and the silver is sparkling, and the way the pearls and crystals play off eachother make these gorgeous. You will be even happier with them when you see them in real life.

STOP!! I can't take it anymore! I really want those for me...how sad is that, I can't even figure one person to give them to as a gift to justify buying them for SR credit...I really do like them...they're very pretty...and such a good deal....oh no....I see the Disney Visa coming out of my wallet...dangit....:rolleyes:

Especially with your long hair, they would look pretty. I'd say splurge a little, but at that price, it isn't even considered splurging, its just considered good sense if you like them. I wouldn't give them away. LOL I like them too much to let anyone else have them.

I'm going to order a pair as well. Cindy, did they say if they have a limited number? I know that a lot of times when we get our deals from them they are a closeout item.

Actually, because I picked these out, I don't think so, but it is possible. I did not see them a couple months ago on their site, so they are probably a new item but that doesn't mean they're not limited, they didn't tell me that.

Ok, had a really productive lunch:angel:...paid some bills & then bought the earrings for me & placed an order on 1800PetMeds!!

I showed my mom, she thought they were pretty, but I just don't see her wearing them...so I guess unless she says differently I'll just get them for me!! Thanks for convincing me ladies!!
