Are we talking HD, or bargains in general? I'm stuck home with last remnants of flu (but would avoid shopping 'out there' today anyway!) For the gadget geek (hubby, college kid or on my case me, lol!) there are some good software bargains for cell phones with data plans (such as Blackberry). Other phones with different operating systems too, tho. Check them out here at Handango.Handango is reliable, have purchased from them before. If it's a gift for someone, you can just do the purchase, have download link emailed to you, then somehow come up with a way to wrap it (chuckle) and recipient can do the install for Christmas? (If that didn't fly for some reason Handango keeps record of all purchases in your account, and you can re-download again later, no problems. I've done it.) *********** Still rummaging through my BF emails, lol... OK, Origins has 50% off most popular products. (That's a rare sale, too.) Plus free shipping. ************ Apple is having some OK sales. Free personal engraving on new ipods purchased. *********** Ulta is having some sales (some Bare Minerals stuff, too). Free shipping over $25, coupons, etc. *********** Not glamorous, but Charlie's Soap is having a double sale (% off discount + coupon). Since I'm almost out it's a good time to stock up. ;) ************ This one is tricky. But if you're a Border's Bookstore rewards card holder, and never bothered to sign up for emails offers, might be a good time. They are offering discounts at a lot of retailers (up to 60% off at Nordstrom's). But you can only access it via link in Border's email. (A lot of those sales aren't just BF, they extend beyond today. ) ********** Last one I have. Anyone in the market for a Roomba, they're on sale and if you spend over $349 you get a free Dirt Dog ($129.99 retail). ********** Wait, just read Amazon's BF sale started this afternoon and some things sold out quickly. Some bargains depending on what you're looking for. $450 off MSRP Mikasa Parchment Red for 8 I need new dishes, tho pretty that's not really my style. Or I saw a couple kitchen aid mixers that were marked way down. $200 off the 600 Pro.

kathy-- doesn't that make you so darned mad??? I had been ready to place an order with Eddie Bauer with a coupon code, but nowhere on the screen did it mention that the discount would be applied BEFORE the card was charged. So I nixed the order and sent E.B. an email stating my problem. Never heard back from them. I've placed an incorrect order (Williams-Sonoma) before, and even though I called customer service immediately after, I was told they couldn't promise me a correction. Sure enough, no correction. Another email to company, and nothing.

A lot of the deals are the same that they've been running for days-- but I did pick up a few things from North Face at 30% off and I am going to check out a few others now that I am home from work. Oh, and my sister called to tell me that a sweater I'd bought full price for my niece was 75% off at Macys (it's free people-- so 75% off is a BIG difference in price). I've done super well this year. I have been pleased with my purchases and most of the prices.

You're welcome, Carol and Jin. When I read the email from ARE Monday morning I headed straight here and was surprised to see that no one had posted about it yet. I honestly don't remember signing up for emails from them, but I do have an online account with them, so maybe they automatically send notices to anyone who has an account? There's a link at the bottom of their home page to create an account/profile. Funny, I've had several Louis Philippes from various vendors, but I've never ordered Cramoisi Superieur. I'm wondering if I'll notice any differences. Rose de Rescht was my gateway rose into this addiction. It's been a while since I've had it, though, and I feel like I need it again. It's problematic for me in that it has blackspotted or gotten really bad crud when I've had it before. This one will be part of an experiment. ARE is own root. I plan to also get a grafted RdR in the spring to see which might be the healthier one here. I'm wondering if a grafted one would prove to have more disease resistance. I'm so happy that everyone was able to order roses they wanted and receive the discount. Happy Growing!
