Every single Walmart in a 60 mile radius of me is sold out in the store! So are the Targets, Best Buys, Kmarts, etc. With my instant gratification mindset, I feel pretty good at what I am paying! :-)

We were willing to go up to $150 but everytime I put that in as an offer, it was immediately refused.

YAY HERMI!

Best Buy online sells a rechargable battery pack for the balance board for $19.99. Haven't seen them anywhere else yet.

It's perfect. I've been joking with Mamie and Vacanick since yesterday that today is a lucky day for me to start an all new diet and exercise regime because it is 6-09 and 69 is a lucky number for me. :-) (It's my birth year, okay!) And so what happens? I stumble upon this thread and walk away with a hard-to-find Wii Fit! Yay!

K, dd just got home and I got her to demonstrate. Took me three tries but I cracked 100 (and got whacked on the head with the extra hoop everytime but one LOL). DD has a high score of 261 !! Now I am off to find my inhaler (or a stiff drink. :-)

YAH Hermione!!!

I'm jealous! We can never find one, always sold out.

Question

How can I find out where the nearest mail boxes are to me? I mean the blue boxes that sit on the side of the road where you can post your mail. I've tried looking at usps.com but get nothing - I might be calling them the wrong thing.

Kitt here's one place but I'm not promising it's reliable.

OK so I just ran our zip code and it looks ok.

Thank you! That website even gives the pick-up time!

Even with the new phrases I couldn't see anything listed at the USPS website, but on google there was a link to other people moaning that the Post Office does not provide the info. At least I wasn't alone!

Way to go Hermi!!!

Are you serious Serate? That is terrible! We had the complete opposite reaction at our Gamestop. Darren went over the morning after Thanksgiving. When he and a bunch of other people walked in, he went straight to an employee and asked if they had the Wii. The guy said they had quite a few, walked over behind the counter and pulled one off the shelf and handed it to him. He was in and out, with the Wii, in under ten minutes. Few weeks later, we went back to get the the charger and rechargable remotes and one nunchuck (I can't tell you why we only got one, lol!) and it was pretty much the same positive experience. We walked right up to the counter, told them what we wanted, guy handed it to us, answered a few questions and we walked out with it all. Only problem we've had was when we went back to get the second nunchuck, they didn't have anymore. They were so helpful, plus having the Wii stuff, that Gamestop is usually the only place we go now.

We've never actually bought anything from Gamestop, check all the time when we were looking for the console. It's just this time and the guy torqued us off big time. I'm not holding it against Gamestop, it was just one employee.

We usually get all or Wii stuff at Sam's, Target, or Walmart cuz it's usually a little bit cheaper [except for the console and wii fit, they were the same price.]

We've actually had better luck with Best Buy. They encourage us to call every day if we want to, to find out whether they've got a shipment in.

I still have my family's circa 1981 Atari but the Wii Fit sounds like a blast. But I already have a hula hoop (don't move your feet while you're just learning how to use it), balance board, and yoga equipment though so I don't suppose I can justify buying a Wii.
