A Target I went into yesterday had 17 (!) copies of 4561 on the shelf. I wonder if one store could sell that many between now and Christmas. Guess I should be heading that way on the morning of the 24th. Ray (...) (25 years ago, 18-Nov-99, to lugnet.market.shopping)

Hi Tom, Thanks for the information. I appreciate it, as I'm sure a lot of people here do. I do have one question: I just called S@H, and the operator told me that there aren't any S@H specials right now. Do you think I should call back again? - Dave (...)
