Holy cow is this place great. First, they have like $10,000 dollars stapled on walls and ceiling all around the place. You leave a note on your dollar bill. The food is great, the tacos were awesome including Yucatan Shrimp tacos, Steak Tacos, Mexican Trinity tacos and great beef tacos. Beans and rice were delicious and drinks are generous too. Fantastic place for a fun dinner on Captiva Island.

They do what they say they do and sell a lot of overstocked merchandise and you can often get that merchandise at 30-40% off. The "Great Deals" are usually on smaller items. We have gotten patio umbrellas from them for $35 that normally cost $100. Pretty fun and easy site to use.

First of all, this resort is entirely kid friendly. It has 8 pools, 2.5 miles of private beaches, 10 restaurants and a free trolley service to get you across the resort. All of the rooms are much bigger than expected. Our room had a "fold out couch" bed for our young sons but it also had a HUGE Murphy bed that was 3x as comfortable. The rooms have small kitchens in them with stoves, microwaves, dishwashers and refrigerators and cooking equipment. Saves some money making your own breakfasts or lunches and then have fun at the multitude of restaurants on and off resort. Great place, great service, you get a key card to charge drinks and food to your room account which settles after you reach an opening hold on your credit card. Tons of activities too including paddle boarding, fishing, and sunset cruises around the bay and the Gulf of Mexico. The resort is north of Sanibel Island and 1 hour drive from RSW Airport. Great place - we will definitely be back.

We shop at Target frequently but they are hit and miss for us. We tried to order a coffee/espresso machine from them on-line and it was two-weeks to get it delivered. Had to cancel the order (had to place it before we knew delivery time). They are often out of stock on sizes, shoe store is way too small. But, the Starbucks coffee is great and we have found kids clothing to be good and some electronics as well. Toy section is perfect for young kids and camping gear is good for people starting out. We have purchased linens and they are hit/miss but the flannel ones for the winter were great. Little pricey when not on sale.

So you buy a new game and it's $60 to buy a new game but you don't get full access to the game to play it on-line. You have to pay for a PS Online Account and for some games you have to pay fees to play those on-line as well. PlayStation went from a fun tool to play games on to something so costly that we stopped buying games and machines for our family. The machine was $400 and the games were $60 so spending $1000 a year for gaming was excessive and not a hard target to hit.

I got some bath scents and candles from BBW for my wife's birthday as part of a "spa" birthday gift. Everything was great, she loved the scents and relaxed with a nice bath courtesy of BBW.

I ordered a DeLonghi espresso/cappuccino machine on a Monday before Mother's Day and got the machine on the Saturday before Mother's Day. Perfect timing for cross-country shipping and my wife loved the gift. SeattleCoffeeGear saved my Mother's Day plans!

Expedia tries to get people to buy vacation packages by using stock market pricing. There are XX rooms available and the number is changing while you are trying to plan a vacation with someone. We tried for 3 weeks to get what we wanted and every day the price changed and the availability changed. We finally went to southwestvacations.com and got a deal for Captiva Island for $1900 for 6 days/nights plus airfare for 4. The rapid changing of prices and availability is a big turnoff and pain to manage.

Amazon advertised bike shorts for $33 - a great deal. I went to their site, selected my size and BOOM - the price went to $69. They only offered the $33 on small pants, same manufacturer same product. Apparently, Amazon thinks you are stupid enough to believe there is a 100% price difference between small and large. Nope. I avoid buying from Amazon because they ship products you did not order and they let my kids run up charges on Kindles we had to dispute and they have crappy deceptive pricing.

Every single time I go to Walmart the checkout process takes between 10 and 30 minutes to complete. They have too few cashiers and the self-checkout lanes are either closed or have lines that stretch back among the merchandise.

I ordered a pair of glasses around April 23 and got them 4 weeks later. The prescription was totally wrong. They sent a replacement pair, the prescription was even more wrong. And again it took 4 weeks. 8 weeks later I realized, this company is likely making our glasses in China. 1. Nothing takes 4 weeks to make and ship on the Internet these days. Eyebuydirect sends these emails about how they are crafting carefully your glasses. The problem is when you order your replacement pair the standard crafting message appears (giveaway). 2. The packaging is extremely nice, e.g. factory extremely nice. No errors in packing at all (e.g. Machine - not person) 3. Pretty sure the emails are a scam.

This is the building for EyeBuyDirect:

Does it look like the made 500,000 pairs of glasses from there? An empty store front? Pretty sure this company is not legit.

Update: I took my glasses to my Optometrist and they completely forgot to add part of the prescription to the glasses the ADD for OD/OS was not included in either set of glasses. I contacted them for a third replacement and they refused a third replacement without additional payments. I am sending glasses back and started a chargeback through my bank. EyeBuyDirect should be avoided at all costs.
