And the great news is that if you order tomorrow and realized you forgot something (Snail refill? reinkers? checking out the clearance rack?), you can always order again on Tuesday, and Wednesday, and Thursday... and not pay anything extra for shipping! ;)
What is everyone buying from SU? I really want to take advantage of the free shipping since I almost never buy SU, but I don�t know what to buy. The "easy" categories are out - SU stamps don�t appeal to my aesthetics and I don't like their cardstock (I have 4 variety packs that I regretted getting them after I got PTI ones - they feel flimsy at a higher price).
The list came out at 11:01 pm here on the west coast. I got a few things that are supposed to retire May 31st that I was planning to get closer to that date but figured they would get sold out-especially the stamps-and I wanted to use the free shipping.

I'm in the same boat as you. I didn't order any stamps. I did order Smokey Slate cardstock -- can't get a medium grey from PTI. I also like the Calypso Coral cardstock. I also ordered a bunch of ribbon, some on clearance.
Maybe start with the retiring list to make sure you don't miss out on anything you like there, then check out the Clearance Rack and Weekly Deals (deals end today and new deals posted tomorrow so you can order twice with free shipping)!

Personally, I am stocking up on clear mount cases and maybe some 12x12 paper, things that can be hard for a rep to mail to me.
I'm always surprised that people think the SU is flimsy. I use it as card bases with no problem, just like I use PTI, Amuse, and CTMH cardstock as bases. But even if you don't want to use it as a base, it's still great for layers. Pull it out and give it a try.

Gray cardstock is an awesome idea. You are right - I am missing lighter gray (and navy!) in my collection. I will get Smokey Slate and Night of Navy from SU

SO true!
I ordered early this morning, and I'm glad I did. The papers I wanted were sold out so I bought the mixed packs (got 5) and even they were sold out about 30 minutes later. Still bummed over the in color reinkers that are already gone.
But then I went thru the retiring list. There's more on the list now!

I think in previous years, they discounted some retiring items (10-20-30% off)?
I definitely like free shipping. Of course I would like discounts and free shipping, but I guess that's what the Clearance Rack is for.
The Weekly Deals posted today are retiring products. I'd imagine they will be the next few weeks too as an extra discount as they clear shelves to make room for the new stuff!
Is SU running a free shipping deal?
