CSNstores.com is like an online mall. CSNstores is the 'mall' itself which has over 200 stores underneath it's roof. When you are shopping there, you can choose to shop the entire mall at one time, or you can go specifically to a store of your choosing.
I found the search engine to be a bit frustrating as I would search for something that I had just seen and it wouldnt always come up in search results, and the sort by feature didnt always work, but overall, the shopping experience was a good one.
The selection was REMARKABLE.

I considered this Sevi Play Farm Puzzle it's made of wood and vegetable based paints $34.40.

or these Teachable Touchables Texture Squares from Educational Insights $23.95

and this Wooden Sorting Staircase Puzzle from The Chenille Kraft Company, $17.16.
As I shopped, I kept seeing many items from Patch Products that I wanted, but they were 'out of stock.' Very frustrating. But, right before I made my final decision, {and after I prayed about my purchase} all of a sudden, all the Patch Products were suddenly IN stock. So apparently they were in the process of adding them to the site.
So, I ended up choosing two things:

A Building Words Tabletop Pocket Chart, $15.36.
We havent used the building words part yet, but I LOVE the tabletop pocket chart! The pocket chart gets our sorting games up off the table and out of the reach of little fingers AKA Mini Cooper.

And our very own Lauri Tall-Stacker Pegs & Pegboard Set, $11.43. I have wanted these just forever and am thrilled to have our own set. The kids are too!
Shipping was LIGHTENING SPEED! I placed my order on a Thursday evening, it was shipped on Friday, and by Tuesday afternoon the UPS man was waiting for me at the door with a big box with my name on it!
The best part about my experience was saving money!! The list price of our Stacker Pegs is 26.20 and the Pocket Chart, 29.83. I saved $29.24!! That's my kind of prices!
And here's the part you have been waiting for...
CSNstores.com is GIVING AWAY a $25.00 shopping spree. That's right, it could be YOUR turn to shop in your jammies and save money.

ReplyDeleteYou know, one of the reason I decided to give the whole spree away is because I couldn't decide (or didn't need what I wanted!). I would probably go for something from the learning and educational line at games and toysonline - that bilbo play shell looks cool, too.

ReplyDeleteYou were right when you said the selection was remarkable!! I LOVED all the developmental and educations items which would be what I would spend it on since we are just beginning Tot School. There is too much to choose from though!! One thing would probably be the Melissa and Doug stacking train toy. My son LOVES trains (he calls them "choo-choo's :) I also loved the lacing products and the floating 3D Bath toys were too cute!
