2015 Advent Train *Opening Time*

[FallenPixels]

I will go through and update the questions when I get home later (brownie points if someone wants to find the ones since I last updated so I can cut/paste)

If you do buy your buddy an advent calendar or big wish and worry about them buying one, you can PM me and I can let them know. Will ruin the surprise a little but better than wasted money.

I also realized today that the kitten (who is not a kitten anymore but still acts like one) is not well behaved enough for me to put up a Christmas tree this year

Love the wrapping paper.

Buddy I know this is a long shot, but I would really like this:

http://www.walmart.ca/en/ip/hard-can.../6000195410745 I would like this more than any other RRL item! Also pretty affordable at $10.

It is on my list to pick up when I am out tomorrow, my WM finally got stock (and the matching beauty item crackers if they have them too)

I'm struggling not to buy all the advent calenders I find!! I think I'm going to get the benefit one tooo. They're so much fun!

Me too, but it is Sephora exclusive in Canada which means I will spend all of my money. I was thinking of sending him in to get it so I am not distracted by pretty things

Question guys, not train related but I have searched high and low for answers and cant find them.

Does anyone still do trades fro shoppers points? And if so what is the going rates???

People do, but the mod in me has to inform you that SC does not endorse the trading of Optimum points, bc they are not meant to be traded.
Those who do trade them (and I would not know anything about that) usually use the GC rate and do 475-500 Optimum = $1 GC

Any of the Nyx matte lip creams but would especially love Tokyo, Copenhagen, Sydney or Addis Abara

[Arvilish]

Did some shopping for my buddy today; fun!

I do not buy Advent Calendar so I would be okay to get any! :p

[julesie-pie]

Got my buddy 2 more items today! My box which I have already up sized twice is full. Probably should organize & wrap this weekend.

well I only spend 300 on her that includes her santa present and I started in augest so just spend money here and there

i don't really keep track money wise. I buy throughout the year too! But we have been trying to keep it small the past couple of years. I'm pretty much done both kids except for the small Elsa plush that the munchkin informed me this morning she wants Santa to bring her. I went to 4 stores today & no luck I did find 2 talking ones but they were $17 & $20. & I swear I have seen the non-talking ones for about $10 but I can't remember where, sigh.

What is your most wanted item under 3? Under 5? Under 10?
My most wanted are on my list

Under 3:
- Zoobles
- yummy chocolates from my list

Under 5:
- Zoobles
- Tetley Soothe Herbal Tea

Under 10:
- Zoobles
- any of the books on my wishlist (gently used ok)

I did quite a bit of shopping after I picked ds1 up from school. I bought 14 things for my buddy, 2 items for a friends kid's birthday tomorrow, and bought some items for my family. Dh met me and the kids after work and we had supper then caught the bus home together. We got home an hour past the kids bedtime (not a big deal on the weekend since they can sleep in) but I'm exhausted so I'll answer some questions tomorrow if I have time.
