aolson Posted November 1, 2005 Share Posted November 1, 2005 My budget for that day was 500$. But now my lovely fuel pump in my Yukon is taking a dump, and since I cannot walk to the stores on Black Friday, I guess I had better get it fixed. So my budget is being drastically reduced as I bargain shop to get my fuel pump replaced. Andrea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aolson Posted November 8, 2005 Share Posted November 8, 2005 No budget. I'll buy what I can justify spending the money on. Same here. If I need it, and its a good price, I will buy it. Andrea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tootsieroll23 Posted November 8, 2005 Share Posted November 8, 2005 Depends on who you ask me or DH. If you ask me I don't have one . If you ask him he would say between $500 & $1000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darianwiccan Posted November 8, 2005 Share Posted November 8, 2005 What is this "budget" that people keep talking about? I plan to shop until the bill collectors actually show up at whichever store I'm at to break my kneecaps! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jfond Posted November 8, 2005 Share Posted November 8, 2005 We have a shopping list of items that we need/want -- and if we can get a good deal on them, we will get them all -- if not, we will wait until after the holidays or when we find a good sale.

Princess7915 Posted November 9, 2005 Share Posted November 9, 2005 We usually set a $1,000 christmas budget and before BF I've ran into a few deals and spent about $250 of that. I'd love to be done by the end of the day but it never fails that I have a few more things to buy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shopping mom Posted November 9, 2005 Share Posted November 9, 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.I shop the same way. I go through each kids list, then I look for other people I would like to give a gift to and then I look for those surprise gifts that no one asked for but I know they will love it. For example I got one son a leather coat from Kohls 60% off and I had a 15% coupon, he did not ask for it but it will be very appreciated. I am hoping for the kichen and bike too. If I found the kitchen I want for forty dollars I would be thrilled!! The bike should be no problem K-mart's Thanksgiving Ad is listing 2 kinds for 19.99. Happy Shopping!! Budget -- whatever I can get by with ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrandyJervas Posted November 9, 2005 Share Posted November 9, 2005 I don't really have one it just all depends on what I decide to get since 75% of my shopping is already done. I hope I don't spend too much and I'm hoping to make a little in some Avon sales. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spotted1 Posted November 9, 2005 Share Posted November 9, 2005 We don't have credit..so we have been saving all month long for BF. If its not paying a bill, its going into the BF stash. I suspect we'll have between 4 and 5 hundred dollars stashed back. Whether we spend it all or not depends on if we can get the things we're going for.

grapico Posted November 9, 2005 Share Posted November 9, 2005 The buying up xbox 360s might be a good idea to resale on ebay... depending on how much they will go for and what kind of supply they are in, I hear of many many people wanting to do this as a small business venture.
