Jezebel's Surprise Advent Package Train

[slambert]

I love all chips equally..mmmmmm But I think my fave Old Dutch flavor is sour cream and onion.

[Momto2Ks]

For Old Dutch I like Sour Cream and Green Onion

Okay having a panic attack I cannot find a shipping container for my present.

i go to A&W and ask for the fry boxes...they are sturdy and made with handles

Last minute question
Buddy what is your favourite flavour of old dutch chips?

we are like any of them

[gwennad]

Mmm chips. I like Creamy Dill, Salt & Vinegar, BBQ, Plain, Sour Cream and Onion... no all dressed or ketchup. Oh, cheddar are good too. I love chips.

For my son, I don't need to know what's in his box, I've already bought his birthday and xmas presents, and doubles of anything I got is not a big deal. He's also young enough that he doesn't really "get" the Santa thing yet, I'm trying but when I refuse to buy something and suggest he tell Santa he wants it I get a total freak out, complete with yelling, hitting me and trying to bite my hands as I push the cart. Not at all embarassing I'm more worried about how to make sure he only opens one present a day lol, he's likely to want to rip into everything as soon as we get the box home

I'm worried about that too but it's me I'm worried won't be able to open just one a day...LOL I'm such a child at Christmas!!

Hiya Ladies,

Miss me? I would miss me.

I am DONE shopping. I am happy with my package. I hope my buddy will love it as much as I do. I'm nervous sending this time because I don't know my buddy as well as previous buddies (HINT).

Also, if you hate my craft item and want to toss it out.. my feeling will not be hurt. Yes, I only have 1 feeling attached to the craft item. LOL!!

I'm trying to decide what to number... buddy, your "biggest gift" might not be on the 25th. I hope that is okay. But, the same amount of time and effort was put into selecting each gift

I REALLY enjoyed the People for Education Conference in Toronto this weekend.
My dad took our two younger kids while I was gone, and when he brought them home he asked me how I enjoyed it.
I told him that while we do have a pretty strong Parent Council at our school, the majority of parents are there for their own personal agendas (which is perfectly fine, btw), so it was nice to be around people that are passionate about the same thing I am. I of course meant our Education system. His response (with a wink) was, "Oh, they're passionate about couponing, too?"

only 20 thread thumbs up???? I just added mine (late bloomer) :D I think we can do better than 20!

Umm my hubby and I will eat pretty much any kind when it comes to chips! Aside from chocolate, chips is my second weakness!!

You don't know me that well...... you're still on my short list for thinking that I'm your buddy!! If you are, I would love and cherish anything any of the SC members made for me, I would never throw it out!! And I don't care what I'm opening on Christmas Day, every day is going to be Christmas for December!!

[scbpooh]

Chips, id have to say the ripple Cheddar, all Dressed, Sour Cream & Green Onion, mostly!

And i have to agree with slambert, Im going to have a heck of a time not ripping through everything right away!!! lol

[gwennad]

I don't care what order things are in that I open, I'm just excited to open things I haven't bought myself lol. And even for my son, since normally my parents run the gift by me before they get it, or let me know, so I always know what's under the tree. It's nice to be surprised again like when I was a kid!

And I don't think anyone knows me that well So maybe you are my buddy! I also would cherish anything hand made, since I can't make anything lol.

So I sent someone a small package today (19cm x 20cm) and my options were $18 for 7 day delivery and $36 for 3 day...Plus $1.80 for the insurance!
I have three different packages to mail out for this and I am getting concerned about how much it is going to cost...The packages are MUCH larger than the one I sent today.
Based on today, I am guessing it is going to cost around $80 to ship each box...
In the past, have you found it more cost effective to ship via Fed Ex or send by bus???
Does anyone else have concerns about the cost of shipping?

[dlee]

Chips...original or ketchup or sour cream and onion?

I printed out a list of everyone and started to cross people off one by one...I think I crossed pumpkin off my list but not sure why. Is there a period of guessing?

[slambert]

I have never paid more than $20 to send a train package and have sent some pretty big boxes...maybe they have a base rate for a parcel and then add to it depending on size and weight?? Also do you have the Canada Post Venture 1 card? You can sign up for it online for free and you get expedited shipping for regular shipping prices and insurance is free

[Bear25]

For shipping i know for us out in BC, Ontario is the line in the country where anything past is like 40% more to mail, i asked the lady at the post office why is that but she just said it just is.
