copados1993 Posted November 12, 2005 Share Posted November 12, 2005 i have a christmas club accout that comes out of my husbands check and then every november they send me a check for what i have in thereI think this is what I'll do next year....I hate the fact that it all comes out of my account at once instead of taking a little bit out each month to put towards it!

floridasun5 Posted November 12, 2005 Share Posted November 12, 2005 I use my credit card also for all christmas gifts so I can get the rewards, then since there is an extra payday in December and my husband gets a christmas bonus, I take the amount I have budgeted for Christmas out of the extra paycheck and bonus and pay off the credit card in january. In addition to getting some good deals on Christmas presents, I have a nice rewards balance after the first of the year to spend on myself!

Jenniferharrison82 Posted November 12, 2005 Share Posted November 12, 2005 I try to start about the middle of summer, so I don't need to come up with money all at once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dorkydiva Posted November 12, 2005 Share Posted November 12, 2005 I started setting aside $50 a week a few weeks ago. Just today DH asked what the cash in a drawer was for. I told him it is for BF, and he laughed and said I am a smart woman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rosegarden Posted November 12, 2005 Share Posted November 12, 2005 I shop year round but it's always a bit of a crunch in December. This year I can't believe how great deals I've already snagged! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
