<p>Ordered some Brooks Ghost running shoes (with Gortex lining) from Sierra Trading Post for $55 including tax and shipping. In a retail store they would be around $100 plus or minus $20 depending on where you ship. Also got nice smartwool socks fr. Sierra Trading Post $6/pr.</p>
<p>I just put together a XMAS package for my daughter. No take your breath away deals, but outlet pricing on very high quality down comforter, cover, and shams from LL Bean:</p>
<p>Got this [queen</a> comforter](<a href=āBaffle-Box Stitch Goose Down Comforter, Warmer | Comforters at L.L.Beanā>Baffle-Box Stitch Goose Down Comforter, Warmer | Comforters at L.L.Bean) for $239 at the outlet store. They had dozens last summer, down to two as the weather turns. I have one and itās terrific.</p>
<p>Then picked up closeout colors on their percale [duvet</a> cover](<a href=ā280-Thread-Count Pima Cotton Percale Comforter Cover, Stripe | at L.L.Beanā>280-Thread-Count Pima Cotton Percale Comforter Cover, Stripe | at L.L.Bean) and a pair of matching pillow case shams. I figure she can use any solid color sheet/pillow case set to pick up one of the colors in the stripes. This duvet is sized perfectly for the down comforter and has ties sewn in all four corners to attach to the corners of the comforter. </p>
<p>Iād already gotten her two down pillows, so it will be a down bedding theme Christmas. Stuff she wouldnāt go buy for herself, but will use for years and years.</p>
<p>Sounds like a really nice present Idad. </p>
<p>If anyone has kids who like TOMS shoes, they are offering free shipping on their website. Use THANKSGIVING5 for $5.00 off. I went through ebates also.</p>
<p>All 3 of my kids are big TOMās fans - thanks for the heads up!!</p>
<p>Just got a new laptop from Costco with Windows8 and a touchscreen. It was $100 off for $750 + tax, which I think is quite reasonable. So far, I like it better than the one it is replacing, but will have to wait & see how to get everything to work as I expect.</p>
<p>You are welcome Abasket. Beauty.com is having their friends and family 20% off. No code or link, it was right on the home page. </p>
<p>I am trying to be good, I am trying to be good.</p>
<p>Ordered a bunch of stuff for Christmas from Lands End 30% off and free shipping. It seems that they offer this all the time anymore.</p>
<p>Debruns, Do you have the item # and any promo code for that Omaha Steaks offer? I donāt see it on their website. Thanks.</p>
<p>I might be able to give you the web site address but the extra 20.00 off was just for me. (I tried to use it again, but only can be done once)
Try [Buy</a> Steaks, Lobster and Gourmet Food Gifts Online | Omaha Steaks](<a href=āhttp://www.omahasteaks.com/TFC]Buyā>http://www.omahasteaks.com/TFC) Itās 69.00 but still not bad.</p>
<p>Deb922, Iāve been waiting for a Toms coupon again, have a credit, my daughters first pair were too big. Thanks for the heads-up,Iāll go through Upromise also.</p>
<p>Debruns, on ebates the money back is 10%, that is really good if you do ebates also. I ordered a couple pairs and used the promo code twice no problem.</p>
<p>Thanks, I think Upromise was jut 5%. Iāll try it.</p>
<p>Yankee candle is doing a buy 2 get 2 free sale until the 25thā¦ Iāve bought about 40 candles in the last three months and am obsessed, so I was pleased!</p>
<p>Bought a new dryer at home depot on 10/14- the old one took three cycles to dry. Now HD is having an appliance sale. Called the appliance center and asked for a refund of the difference. They are sending me an $85 gift card- the difference in priceā¦ yay- I can use it to buy hubby something for xmas.</p>
<p>As my mom would say- it never hurts to ask. :)</p>
<p>Thanks for the info,Debruns. I would have gone with $49.99 (for gifts) but $69.99 puts it too high. I do like Omaha Steaks though and think they make nice gifts when you can grab a great special.</p>
<p>If I get another one, sevmom, Iāll let you know. I bought the gifts I want for the year.</p>
<p>Needed a new blazer because my old ones donāt quite fit right and Iāll be making some formal appearances. Went to Macyās because theyāre having a sale. Found a nice blazer at everyday low regular price of $89.95, no discounts applied. [Calvin</a> Klein Jacket, Stretch One Button - Womens Suits & Suit Separates - Macyās](<a href=āhttp://www1.macys.com/shop/product/calvin-klein-jacket-stretch-one-button?ID=371065&CategoryID=39096#fn=sp%3D1%26spc%3D364%26ruleId%3D74%26slotId%3D39]Calvinā>http://www1.macys.com/shop/product/calvin-klein-jacket-stretch-one-button?ID=371065&CategoryID=39096#fn=sp%3D1%26spc%3D364%26ruleId%3D74%26slotId%3D39) Proceeded to look around the rest of the department, since I was already there. Found several designer suits at 60% off and tried some on. Was debating whether to buy an Evan Picone suit normally $200 for only $80 (to my surprise, BOTH the jacket and slacks fit fairly well.

While I was deciding, another shopper came to purchase her items and offered me one of her coupons, so I happily applied it and got the suit for only $64 + under $3 in tax. She was trying to use a coupon but they told her she needed to buy some candy to add about $3 to her total. I gave her $3 and she bought a candy bar for her husband and we were both VERY happy.</p>
<p>I also bought a nice very lightweight nylon purse for my momānormal price was $45āI got it for $13, again using my coupon card from the nice stranger. ;)</p>
<p>Those were nice itemsā¦good buy. On a much smaller scale, coupon wise, I was buying some craft items for a Christmas fair and hadnāt brought any coupons to this craft store being a spontaneous trip. A kind shopper ahead of me, gave me a 40% off coupon she hadnāt used and I got tons of kids crafts for 13.50.
I like doing that when I can, it really is an āact of kindnessā that is always appreciated.</p>
<p>HIMomāthatās a good tip on the blazer. S who is 20 is outgrowing the one heās had for a while and needs an āadultā one (now that heās stopped growing.) :)</p>
<p>Edit: I misread and thought you were buying a menās blazer! Well, maybe theyāre on sale too!</p>
