From Juju's post in the Computer Help thread, today's bargains at Office Max:
This is for Landi. She gets upset if I don't post the latest Office Max freebies every now and then. This week at Office Max - 50 CD-RW's FREE after two mail-in rebates. Yes, RW's. It is a good deal. If you are inclined to get any, may I recommend you go to Office Max RIGHT NOW? Deals this good usually sell out pretty fast, like on the first day of the sale, which is today. It is a no rainchecks item.

Other great buys this week are 128 MB xD digital picture card for your camera $39.99 after rebate and five different kinds of memory card readers free after rebate.

Oh, and an internal CD-RW drive $9.99 after rebate.

Oh, and one more! LOL. 256 MB DDR PC2100 RAM $9.99 after rebate. That is as cheap as that RAM ever gets.

Oh, wait, wait, wait - 54G wireless notebook card (top of the line technology right now for either 802.11b or 802.11g connections, the Sponge will be along shortly to tell us if I am wrong in this characterization) - $29.99 after rebate.

Okay, I am done. Remember to check those Office Max ads, folks.


Hopefully Juju and others will keep this thread updated when they find bargains to share!

I like shopping in the men's section because it's less expensive, but there are also great deals in the women's bargain section too.

I got Juju's last bargain on the Digital camera. The Digitrex 3000. I love it. Takes great pics. Not as good as Reiki's but takes great pics.

Hey, you never told me, Grannyg! Somebody else came along and posted that it was probably a crappy camera and made me feel kinda bad about even posting it. I thought it looked like a great deal if all you want is an inexpensive amateur camera, which would certainly fit the bill for a lot of people. I am glad you got it and liked it. Now go get yourself one of those free card readers (remember to make sure what kind of card you have before you go to the store).

Those pics I took of my dogs was taken with that camera. It's got a good zoom and uses regular batteries as well as re-chargable batteries and "the Man-Dra" said that was a good thing. I'm just a snapshot kinda person and it has been perfect for me. And it only cost $69 bucks after rebates so that was a great price for my first digital camera. Now I will say that I'm not real thrilled about the program that is uses to download the pics (Ulead Photo Explorer) into but I just download them into that and then use PaintShop Pro 8 for the editing. And that is a really good program for editing pics. So I've very pleased with my "Juju Bargain". Sorry I didn't think to tell you cause it really is a great deal!!

Grannyg, get a card reader, and then you just move the photos from the card reader into whatever folder you want.

I just checked out the Old Navy site, they have a lot of good buys there. Had to hide my credit card because I just can't afford to spend any money on cloths at the moment, but I did book mark the site for future reference.

Best deal at Office Max this week is Brother laser printer for $119 after rebates. We bought a Brother laser printer in 1998 for $250, and that was an excellent price at that time. It has never given us a moment's trouble, and it uses toner cartridges that last forever. Now I even buy them on ebay for $5-$10 each, new, sealed packages.

Nothing much on sale at Office Max this week. I guess Mother's Day must be a traditionally slow day for buying office and computer products.

Mervyns is having their semi-annual bra sale this week. Most famous brands 40% off, and Balis 40% off AND buy 2 get one free. I am intending to go. Sale ends Saturday, I think.

Tabbyking, you will be happy to know that I just purchased an $85 Cuisinart toaster from Smartbargains.com for $30. Thanks for putting me onto this website.

Bargain shoppers, start your engines!!

For those of you who don't make it to all of the Member folders, I am bringing a TVCH mission over to here. This is from Neko, who is graduating from high school in Canada in the VERY near future.

Neko has a mission for TVCH...


quote:

I'm in trouble. Less than a month to prom, I don't have a dress...
And any of the places I've gone to don't have my size due to the fact everyone my size has already bought them all..
Leaving the 0's and 2's behind...

Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is help me find websites that sell and ship nice prom dresses in Canada in Canadian money...
Actually, I don't care if they're in the States as long as it "cheap" and ships to Canada....

I've been looking at websites myself, and I've found a few but I really need help.




Now, let's get out there and get Neko a dress!

Heyitslori has already checked ebay and found 3000 listings under prom dresses.

cool, juju, about the cuisinart toaster! it's almost time for me to christmas shop with smartbargains!
neko, aren't there any good thrift stores around?! my son took a girl to a prom in los angeles and she had a beautiful dress she got at a thrift store for 4 dollars. she just had it dry-cleaned and ironed for another 6 dollars. it looked terrific!
so often dresses are worn only once, so a lot of thrift dresses are basically 'new'. just a thought!

Uh, what size? I have a nice red "still in style" long dress in a 10, I think. Also a green off the shoulder one in a 12/14. Another "skinnier" green velvet/satin with a velvet wrap in maybe a 10/12.

Can you tell that I have to dress up to conduct Christmas concerts, thus the red and green?

I have many beaded or sequined cocktail length dresses in sizes 8-14. I also have several long black skirts of fancy material if she has a top to go with.

I'd be happy to just send her one, if the size is right. No one around here is interested in buying fancy dresses or business suits. I'll have to move them all with me!

Unfortunately, those sizes wouldn't fit me. I have huge ribs :P

Anyway, my mother and I went out today and I think we've found my dress...
As long as my grandma's willing to pay the amount the dress is..
I believe I'm going to be getting it.

Thank you so much for the offers though!!
I'll still keep you all in mind in case my grandmother thinks the dress is too much..

If you want to see it, go to my Member's Folder. I don't want to clog up this thread that isn't mine ^_^

I just ordered from overstock.com. I ordered a Martha Stewart rug I saw for $1,800 at two other sites, Overstock had it for $200. So I figured what the heck, ordered the item, it took two weeks to get here but absolutely perfect, complete with the labels. Check them out.
