Jezebel's Surprise Advent Package Train

[Armygirl76]

Okay to the tune of white Christmas song by the eternal Bing Crosby my submission

I'm dreaming of a Cheap Christmas,
Where I use coupons just like dough.
Where the money I saved glistens,
And my children for once listen
When I say no.

I'm dreaming of a cheap Christmas,
With every with every debt card I swipe,
"May your days be full of money you keep,
And may all your Christmases be cheap".

[MrsSunshine]

Sung in the tune of Oh Christmas tree (english version one verse only)

Oh FPC, Oh FPC.
The free products we get makes us happy.
They fill our shelves every day and night
When are shelves are filled it is quite a sight.
Oh FPC, Oh FPC.
All those free products makes us so happy.

no not today! Its ok Wendy! I was just dreaming about it last night!

phew - freaked me out
sucky about the reduced $ value amount for redeeming 95000pts though

I'm not happy with the sdm redemption changes either bonus redemption is $200, so just $10 difference for mega?? I don't think I will be waiting for a mega redemption next year, will redeem when they have bonus redemptions...

Totally agree with this! I was excited because this is the first year I've paid attention and actually had a lot of points to redeem. But I am happy I got my deal today, the manager where I was shopping did say the items I bought wouldn't be on for such a great price next week so with an increase in their prices I'd have ended up paying more out of pocket for taxes any way. And I have my Wii already set up! I will get the last of my shopping done next weekend but it isn't quite as exciting somehow lol

[scbpooh]

So I have a qustion about redemption and Im only asking here because there is so much talk going on in the SDM section right now. Last year was my first redemption and i was only able to get the $125. this year I will be able to get a full $210. My question is, do I have to get $210 first then taxes or can i do say, $195 then apply taxes so my OOP is only a few bucks???

[MrsSunshine]

yes you have to get the $210 full with products.. or else you lose out on the points. so basically figure on paying taxes on $210 worth of product OOP

[scbpooh]

Thats what i was thinking but just wanted to verify!

I was hoping to redeem sdm pts for disney movies (I am crazy for disney codes :S - but sdm has sucky movie selections - so now what? stocking stuffers - BORING!)

I've seen some discussion about the Wii on here...I have LOTS of points for redemption, and am wondering if it's better to a) redeem for a Wii and Wii Fit tomorrow, b) wait for next weekend, or c) buy the stuff for the PS3 to do the dancing games etc.

What's the regular price of the Wii and the current sale price of the Wii? Anyone know? Has anyone seen the PS3 accessories in the store? (The 'eye' and the 'move' remote thingy)?

[missbee217]

We got the PS3 the first Christmas it came out ($679 + tax! - stupid, I know, but it was the MUST HAVE gift for all three boys; Only a few were released at a time, I camped out 6 times before I got it ).
Anyway, we also have the wii and last year I WASTED my money on the MOVE for the ps3.
It sucks compared to the wii, and the kinect for xBox...They have to hold a wand and stuff for the move and it is just awkward and they did NOT like it. They do love the wii, though, and b/c I have seen so many appropriate games come out for it in the last year, they are getting their coveted xBox360 w/ Kinect this year (but shhh...it's a secret! )

[xox2010]

Oh yes the open me now gift was intact! Thank you btw! It was two bottle of nailpolish. |I'm going to have pretty toes.
There is one gift that has nothing on it? No numbers or anything.

Yes some of them have just an "I" but I figured they were for him.

I can't belive you have more for me! There was so much in the box already!

lol not sure what happened to that gift. Are you sure there's nothing in it?I counted them all before I sent it, so I know there's a gift for each day.

nope nothing on it. I haven't counted to see if there is a day missing though...There was much drama once ds1 realized there was box of goodies in the house...He very very badly wants to open them and has thrown several tantrums about it already.
