I ordered two pair of Mammoth Crocs from Shoebuy.com using the $20 off any $50 order if using Paypal! Got two pairs for $59.90, plus (as always) free shipping! Glad they FINALLY had them in & in our sizes!! Had to get my 2nd choice of color though!!

Do they have the one's with fur, or whatever. I saw them for $40 in stores, and wondering if anyone has seen them on sale.

See a great deal? Paranoid you're not getting that great a deal? Pop in and ask about it!

Tricia, do Amazon purchases count for the contest? I'm guessing not, as you can't see individual credits, but I figured I'd ask.

We can include Amazon, but you will have to prove it to me if you are one of the winners (with your email confirmation) since I can't look for IDs. Same with CafePress.

It will include all Monday purchases as well because Monday is going to be another hot online shopping day. :)

How so,
Do stores like Best Buy have more deals on Monday? Leave it to me, not knowing what Monday is.

The Monday after Thanksgiving is considered "Cyber Monday" and is known (by some) to be the biggest online shopping day of the year. I would not go THAT far. But retailers really play it up and often give as many online deals as they do on Black Friday. The theory is that people head back to work on Monday and start shopping online from work.

I am not even sure what I want to buy but I want to buy something. :) I need to find furreals and littlest pet shops but I want somewhere that has free shipping. A lot of places have sold out of the fur real I want online. :( I need to figure out a present for my 3 year old boy. So easy to buy for DD5.

DS 3.5 is really into learning and creative stuff (drawing, painting) right now and is using his Leapfrog My first leappad a lot as well as educational computer games (man, he's good on the computer lol). I got him the Leapfrog Clickstart that I think he will really get a lot of use out of. If he is into Disney Cars, they have a neat looking Shake and Go racetrack set. He also likes sports stuff- Little Tikes basketball goal, bat/ball tee set... stuff like that.

Not for Christmas... but we got one of the Vtech cameras for him that is going to be from the baby when he/she is born. He LOVES taking pictures with our camera and I like that this one is digital so we don't have to print them out. The resolution on these aren't the greatest, but it will be good for little ones and it has a few built in pre-school games. Fisher Price also has one and maybe Crayola.

Well, shoot! I found a really nice serving platter for my mother-in-law for Christmas on Overstock, but because of an error in their system that did not recognize my zip code as going with my state, I couldn't place an order. :( Wonder if I can find something similar somewhere else?

Hopefully, I can get all my Christmas shopping done by Monday evening. I'm doing it all online this year since I don't really feel like lugging a toddler and a newborn to stores this season. And, I'm doing it all through SR!

We got the V-Tech one, too! Ordered it from Target a couple weeks ago, it comes with a case for the same price as the camera alone. It was in a big sale brochure, but then it was on 1-6 week availability...I actually started thinking they were going to cancel it, but it shipped yesterday!

We got the V-Tech camera too. I wasn't sure about waiting for the 2-6 weeks the website was saying and then it said out of stock, but luckily I found it in the store with the case for the same price as online.

I got it from Target too. The case will be nice to have! We got it set up and tried it out and I know he will love it!! It can also do short videos. We got ours a few weeks ago.

The free shipping may not be on every item. When you are looking at the item list it says "Special Offers" at the bottom of each item with a red checkmark for each offer like free shipping or gift card or whatever.

I received my video "Planet Earth" in 4 days from DeepDiscount, wholly, molly. To bad, I can't post it in the thread since I ordered it last week Monday. It came by U.S. P.S.

Last month I ordered from BestBuy.com via SR with instore P/U. They guarantee that once you come to the store, they'll have your order in your hands in 1 minute ( 5 minutes for large items). Yeah, the last time it took me 90 minutes to get it. It was completely lost. So I got their $10 gift card for the wait (as promised).

Yesterday, I ordered again, but I was able to use my $10 gift card towards my purchase. I was very excited to get my order within 2 minutes of arrival at the store. My excitement was short-lived when I realized the item the clerk was trying to bag was not even close to what I ordered! At my prompting, she rechecked my order.....and, yeah, I had ordered correctly, but the item was incorrectly attached to my order. I waited another 5 or 10 minutes for the correct item, and again, I got a $10 gift card for the wait. I'm almost glad they screwed up the order again!;)

Just curious..did you get the HD version? I bought the regular version on Saturday at Costco and now I'm having second thoughts and might return it...the reviews that I'm reading are that the regular version dosen't compare at all to the series if you saw it on HDTV, which we did? I don't know what to do, I bought it for my husband for xmas. We don't have a HD DVD player and not planning to purchase one in the near future either??? Anyone have any opinions? :confused:

So since we are well over 100 posts, does that mean we should have another prize added now? :)

I was wondering the same thing?!!

Also - have there really only been 163 purchases thru SR? Or do some of those that are shopping not know to post on the forum?

I know that I have made 4 of those 163 posts! Just wondering!

I am about to make one but general speaking I don't order online so I think the 163 is a great number but maye thats just cause I don't do much shopping ...LOL
