Haha, you don't want to know how many carts I have going to see if I can make any other orders happen where I feel like I'm getting a deal (with shipping from Shimmerz negating the 40% off, I decided not to order...40% off should go much further than a shipping discount). Clique Kits and PI are two with the biggest totals at the moment!! I made $190 from three Clique kit orders...oops! If you get to $60 shipping is free. DH doesn't like me to pay shipping, so he's usually good about me getting to the free shipping amount. Plus MME which is no where near as exciting to me now. Plus Jillibean Soup. A serious spending freeze is my new plan! I think I started too late with Clique kits to order $60 worth. I don't want to pay shipping if I can avoid it (which is why I'm struggling with my PI order, $60 for free shipping there, too and I don't know if I want to spend that much...even if I could get there with Clique Kits, I'd probably struggle to pull the trigger there, too). I did something similar to you at Scraptastic last year...in addition to some major shopping from Joann's...the deals were just too good.

I just added it up...$310 ish dollars. Holy **** I find it best not to do that until after the stuff arrives and I get to excitedly rummage through it. That doesn't hold a candle to my epic shopping month (from my previous comment), so hopefully that will make you feel better.

In my defense...I've been waiting for months for Impression Obsession to put their seconds on their big background stamps up. They're normally about $15 each. They do seconds for $5, and they added a coupon for 25% off your order, free shipping over $30...so that made my stamps exactly 3.75 each, no additional costs. I bought...um....over 50. But really...that makes the stamps that are normally 2/$30 into 10/$37.50.

I'm a very prolific scrapbooker, but these totals are a bit on the crazy side for me.

It's a good thing I don't buy stamps these days, or I would be in more trouble from all the sales everyone (including Jennifer McGuire) pointed out!

The best/worst part is that my husband is a huge enabler. My kids are also...my oldest loves to shout in public, 'Let Mommy buy that, Daddy...I'm her uh-abler!!' It cracks me up every time.

I have two girls (17&19) who are the exact opposite. Yesterday the youngest asked my total, and at the time I was around $240...hopefully the boxes arrive with no fanfare and before DD19 comes home for Christmas break on the 16th! DH knows about all of it at least.

It's a grab bag from Citrus Twist. I'm not opening it! I'm just wrapping the shipping box and will open it Christmas morning to find out what goodies she put in there. DH is happy that he doesn't have to shop and I'm excited for my surprise!

Even I am shocked, but I didn't order any scrappy stuff this Black Friday or Cyber Monday.

So many 20% off sales...am I the only person that just doesn't think that's worth a look? Maybe I'm a bit too spoiled, hahahaha!!
I'm really wanting to shop. I thought for sure PI's coupon code would run through today being that they are an online business, but they killed it last night...so I guess I'm not shopping there.

I'm a total cheapskate, so deep discounts are required to lure me in. 20% off isn't enough. Luckily I'm equal opportunity and I love both new and not current supplies...as long as the deal is really good. I don't seem to buy new releases until everyone else has had them for six or so months, but I am on top of the current stuff and know the trends. I know there's a possibility that I may just be getting it behind everyone else...no big deal for me

I probably have too many already and don't use the ones I have enough but ... for $3.75 ....wow!

I probably have too many already and don't use the ones I have enough but ... for $3.75 ....wow! They either have tiny imperfections in the rubber or small trimming errors--like maybe a corner is trimmed too closely. They don't have any damage that significantly affects the stamped image, and basically the company would rather let someone enjoy them and recoup minimal costs than toss them. I'm good with that! I had gotten a few previously, and never would have known they were seconds. From what I understand, they do this every year around Black Friday...and I'm sure it'll be at the top of my list again next year. Oh--and the coupon code is THANKS. They had about 160ish designs to start, they're down to a dozen or so now, but they do 25% off your whole purchase, free shipping over $30. I bought 3 new stamps that I really wanted, even. The company itself almost never runs a sale because they try to support their retailers by directing consumer traffic to their local stores. ------------------------- Edit: So...I got awesome deals, and now I can't do anything until they come. *sigh*
