I’ve done most of my xmas shopping at Bed Bath & Beyond which sends us those 20% off coupons all of the time. And BBB accepts expired coupons so I just keep a stack of them until I need to use them. If you don’t get any you can easily buy them off of ebay for 99 cents which is totally worth it for the amount you could save. You can also do the same with numerous other coupons including Victoria’s Secret, Home Depot, Lowes, etc.

I don’t know if other moms are like this too but this is soooo MY MOM! hehe.

I got it at Aahs for $12.99 if you are interested.

Angry Asian Girl is so cute!

I found this interesting website that supposedly takes your visual dna by asking you a series of questions with picture answers to find out what gift would suit you the best.

Imagini Gift Finder

Too bad it’s catered towards the UK for now but it’s still interesting to see what kind of gifts turn up for you and it might spark up some inspiration for gifts for others! I haven’t tried that option yet but I did do the one for myself and I would say more than half of the gifts were something I would love to have and the others I wouldn’t mind having. I’m sure they pick gifts that are generic enough that most people would like anyway. It’s worth a try if you are stumped on a present.

The NY Times just printed up a helpful article about free services for your cellphone, many I didn’t even know about! Here is a quick rundown of the services.

1. An alternative to calling 411 is the number 800-FREE-411 (800-373-3411). The only catch to this free service is having to listen to a 20 second ad. Sounds good to me!

2. You can also text 46645 (googl) for loads of free information including directory assistance, weather, stock quotes, movies, driving directions, etc. Click here to see how to use this option.

3. A similar service to google’s is 800-555-TELL (800-555-8355) but is operated by a recorded voice. The service is free because it’s run by TellMe Networks which uses this to showcase their voice recognition technology.

4. You can call internationally for free by dialing a number in Iowa first (712-858-8883). Press 1 for english then punch in 011, the country code, and the phone number. In some countries this might only work for landlines and not cellphones though. I did a little research on this and it does seem to work for some people, but others suggested another free international calling website called callchinaforfree.com. This works for more countries than just china and seems to be going over much better.

5. YouMail lets you customize your voicemail greeting for everyone you know. It’s free for now but does not seem to work for Sprint customers.

6. Price Comparisons - Dial 888-363-7822 plug in the bar code on the package and you will be provided with the prices from 3 sample online stores.

Here’s a nice hot deal I stumbled upon.

144 toothbrushes for $9.49 (free shipping!)

If the link doesn’t work for you, go to overstock.com and search for toothbrushes. It comes out to 6 cents a toothbrush and they are individually wrapped.

This is a great gift idea for anyone that loves solving the well known Rubik’s cube. I could never figure out how to do it myself so it would be a horrible gift for me as I would never be able to see the completed pictures!

Wow, I just found out M&Ms hav 8 new flavors that they are selling online: Link

All That Razz: Creamy white chocolate center surrounded by milk chocolate and a raspberry-flavored candy shell.
Eat, Drink & Be Cherry: Creamy white chocolate center surrounded by milk chocolate and a black cherry-flavored candy shell.
A Day At The Peach: Creamy white chocolate center surrounded by milk chocolate and a peach-flavored candy shell.
Orange-U-Glad: Creamy white chocolate center surrounded by milk chocolate and an orange-flavored candy shell.
AlmonDee-Licious: Almond surrounded by creamy white chocolate and a candy shell.
Mint Condition: Creamy white chocolate center surrounded by milk chocolate and a mint-flavored candy shell.
Nut What You Think: Peanut surrounded by creamy white chocolate and a candy shell
Cookie Mintster: Crispy center surrounded by dark chocolate and a mint-flavored speckled candy shell.

Sounds yummy! Unfortunately, they are unbelievably expensive. A sampler tin will cost you $49.99.

My thanksgiving meal consisted of:

- deep fried turkey (mmmm!)
- ham
- mashed potatoes and gravy
- garlic yams and potatoes
- salad
- french bread
- corn
- the most amazing pumpkin bread ever! so moist. i can’t stop eating it!

the best part of thanksgiving are the leftovers. all day i just kept eating and eating and tomorrow i can eat some more! am i one of the weird ones that actually like eating leftover turkey? I can’t wait to eat a turkey sandwich tomorrow!!!

Click here for more turkey leftover recipes!

And now that the eating and giving thanks is all done, it’s time for the shopping! I’m not much of an early bird and I will only get up if there’s some really hot deal. Unfortunately, this year there is nothing good at all! Or maybe I already have everything I want. Luckily for me, I’m in San Diego for the weekend right by the Carlsbad Outlets which are having a midnight sale tonight. Yay, I’m a nightowl so shopping at midnight will not be a problem for me. Unfortunately, it’s going to be pretty cold and it’s an outdoor mall! grrrr.

The sales are pretty good though (20-40% off everything in the stores) and this outlet has a lot of good stores.

Happy Black Friday Shopping to all who are brave enough to venture out, I’ll be sleeping in!!! :)

Reminder to try and get the Xbox 360 tomorrow on Amazon! If you want a slight edge, I suggest you download firefox since it loads pages faster than IE. And with the amount of people who are going to be logging on tomorrow, any edge will make a difference. If you are looking to download firefox, you can use the link at the very bottom of this page!

Here is the link for the contest:

Amazon Link - You MUST use this link, not Amazon’s homepage for the contest

and the sale begins on Thursday, November 23, at 11 a.m. Pacific/2 p.m. Eastern

I’m not sure how exactly it will work but I suggest signing up for an Amazon account if you haven’t already, be logged in when you visit the contest page, have your CC ready and have your email address or password copied and ready to be pasted in case they ask you to relogin.

The odds of anyone winning this are pretty low but it’s worth a try! Tell me if you get it. Good luck!
