stingygrrl Posted September 13, 2005 Posted September 13, 2005 I'll probably spend < $150 (and hopefully get most of that back in rebates).
Guest DigDoug Posted September 13, 2005 Posted September 13, 2005 That's weak! I don't know what I am spending. It ALL depends on what I see in the ads that strikes my fancy. If there is nothing, then it makes it that much easier.
MarkRaby Posted September 13, 2005 Posted September 13, 2005 Unless it is a complete and total bust, I'm planning on spending several hundred. -Mark-
mugs Posted September 13, 2005 Posted September 13, 2005 No budget. I'll buy what I can justify spending the money on.
Keebelf Posted September 13, 2005 Posted September 13, 2005 nada. we are saving money for a few things for Christmas and we might be gong up to VA for either one....we were just talking about this a few seconds ago
elena_398 Posted September 13, 2005 Posted September 13, 2005 Don't really have a budget. Whenever my shopping is done its done. Now I won't go crazy, but I definately know I'll be over $150! LOL
Rebirth Posted September 13, 2005 Posted September 13, 2005 $300 for the LCD monitor. If I'm not getting the monitor, $150-$200.
RossMAN Posted September 13, 2005 Posted September 13, 2005 No budget. I'll buy what I can justify spending the money on.No budget here either. Anything under our combined $50,000 credit card limits is game.
SynthDude2001 Posted September 13, 2005 Posted September 13, 2005 No budget. I'll buy what I can justify spending the money on.That works for me. Although realistically, $500 or less almost certainly
DaveSimmons Posted September 13, 2005 Posted September 13, 2005 I'm too lazy to stay up late or get up early to fight my way to a B&M deal, so unless the deals are here at GD I'll be spending $0. If I decide to get the HD TV this year instead of next I'll definitely be keeping an eye out.
Mike Posted September 13, 2005 Posted September 13, 2005 My goal is to get 10 xbox 360s so that will take a huge chunk of my budget. Maybe a few hundred on BF itself. Anything left will go towards more 360s.
Aaron Posted September 13, 2005 Posted September 13, 2005 That's weak! I don't know what I am spending. It ALL depends on what I see in the ads that strikes my fancy. If there is nothing, then it makes it that much easier.Same here, I don't set a dollar amount.
stingygrrl Posted September 13, 2005 Author Posted September 13, 2005 There's nothing I really want to upgrade. I'm not into watching tv, so a regular old fashioned one is ok for now until this one goes kafoozey. I'm not into the xbox so that's out.
Scott Posted September 13, 2005 Posted September 13, 2005 Spend until the CC gets denied. :) Actually ... that wouldn't be very smart for me. I could puchase a pretty nice car on my credit line. Two if you count my wife's too. :)
biomajor Posted September 13, 2005 Posted September 13, 2005 I make a list of all the people I need to buy for, and then if something I think they will like is in one of the ads at the price point I give them, I buy it. For instance, I want to get my niece (2 years old) either a 12 inch bike, or a kitchen and my budget is $40.
mrn8 Posted September 13, 2005 Posted September 13, 2005 No budget here, either. I'll pretty much know what I'll be spending before BF, but it will depend on what deals are to be had.
outnumbered Posted September 13, 2005 Posted September 13, 2005 I won't know till I see how much money I have saved up by then and what deals are out there. My Christmas budget tends to be about $75 per child, and I try to get as many of their gifts as possible on BF so they can get more things. And then whatever else I buy for other relatives--if I can find good deals on things on BF for them, I'll do it. If I have the money or some available credit that I don't mind using, and there's an awesome deal on some electronic thing that I want, I'd consider getting it...but I don't know. Right now I'm just focusing on getting the kids' presents.
stingygrrl Posted September 13, 2005 Author Posted September 13, 2005 I probably should have used a better word than budget.. I was thinking about the max I would actually spend. I just don't see a lot out there that's compelling to buy, other than the freebie things like CDs that I could use, and other FAR things that I wouldn't buy unless they're free.
i-bystander Posted September 13, 2005 Posted September 13, 2005 I just don't see a lot out there that's compelling to buy, other than the freebie things like CDs that I could use, and other FAR things that I wouldn't buy unless they're free. Is it safe to say that you're not excited then?
amez74 Posted October 2, 2005 Posted October 2, 2005 I don't have a budget per say--it just depends on what there is to buy. I have a budget for Christmas but often I'll buy stuff for the house on black friday.
Mike Posted October 2, 2005 Posted October 2, 2005 My BF budget has been reduced just about $0. I will spend all available funds on Xbox 360s.
genoandkiddo Posted October 2, 2005 Posted October 2, 2005 Mine will be 1,000. But it all depends on the ads, if there aren't any then now way will I spend that much. Just a couple of stuffers.
hpowers Posted October 2, 2005 Posted October 2, 2005 My BF budget has been reduced just about $0. I will spend all available funds on Xbox 360s.what's up with that? Your other one said 10, why do you get so many, resale?
elena_398 Posted October 2, 2005 Posted October 2, 2005 All depends whats in the ads and if I really want it or need it. I think last year I spent roughly $400 or so. I usually do almost all my christmas shopping that day for the kids too.
amdskip Posted October 2, 2005 Posted October 2, 2005 I usually spend $500 but it's pretty much open to anything as long as its a good deal.
Mike Posted October 3, 2005 Posted October 3, 2005 what's up with that? Your other one said 10, why do you get so many, resale?Yep, my credit cards/cash will be tied up on the 22nd so I will have no funds available for that Friday.
brynnfromtheblock Posted October 3, 2005 Posted October 3, 2005 No budget here either, I just look to see what interests me and if it does, I buy it. Unless I'm buying a big ticket item I usually spend a couple of hundred.
