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

i try to spend no more than 500-600

[sanam]

MY budget is 150. we will be shopping for our anniversary present. i wanna buy my husband a nice watch and wanna get a nice woolen coat.. any suggestions on which stores might have good sales...

[Booogie27]

We'll have $1,700 to spend. We have been saving $100 every week for several weeks for this day.

[aolson]

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

[shopping mom]

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 !

[BrandyJervas]

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.

[kfinto65]

No budget here! I could spend a couple of hundred or up to $1500 depending on the deals.

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.

[all4linkae]

I currently have close to $800 by doing things online (bingo and online offers and such) so Id like to get all my shopping done with that and not have to touch the checking account!

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.

[love2beurwifey]

I dont really have a budget whatever the kids want or whatever I see is necessary im going to get

[Rebirth]

$200. It should be less than that after the rebates come.

[jdmcvc99]

poor college student= @ 200$ unless i run across something i really want, i will probably transfer 500 into my checking so thats all my debit/credit card will let me spend

[Roswell2005]

560

[illusion]

My budget is 1200. I have been saving for about 2 weeks now.

[daworths8]

[Popo]

I'll have about $150 to spend, but I'm going to put a couple of big ticket items on lay-away and get them out ASAP.

[bigjimslade]

My whole family is going to do BF so my dad told us as a family we have 400k to spend between us for this holiday season.

[gisellerol]

[Floppy]
