First Christmas gift purchased! Time to start the planned spending!

September 29th, 2012 at 11:01 pm


The holiday budget per each child is $180. Today I found a new pair of UGG boots for younger daughter, $200 down to $110. Smile Purchased and stashed!

Time to keep my eyes open for bargains on items that the kids would like!

    I always enjoy finding those pre holiday bargains that you know are just the right gift! I love Christmas shopping - especially when it is budgeted and you find good deals to boot! (pun intended...Smile )

    I've been cruising craigslist and yard sales all summer stashing things for the kids. Mine are younger, so used is easier to pull off (4 and 3), but we have gotten some good stuff. A NIB hot wheels wall tracks gorilla crunch set, a giant box of legos, a GIANT box of action figures (for $15! and there are at least 100 in there, with accessories, in baggies), and my fav: a Superman mini pinball machine, which is very cool and only cost me $20. I also got something awesome for my sister for $10.

    Nice savings, and it is great that you are looking NOW, as opposed to waiting. It not only leads to savings, but it offers you some insurance that you will have a less-stressful holiday season as well. Great going!
