abentley Posted November 14, 2005 Posted November 14, 2005 Obviously we all love great deals. Do you actually stop buying when everyone on your list is checked off? I know I personally love the great deals ALL through the next month. There for, I keep buying. Not out of control, or more money than I actually have. I just seem to appreciate the sales. Another question..Do you think the best deals are BF or possibly the week before Christmas?
Momto32003 Posted November 14, 2005 Posted November 14, 2005 I thought I was done but everytime I go somewhere, I see something on sale or clearance and there goes my budget. I had planned on 5 gifts a piece for the kids plus there Santa and now they are up to 11 gifts a pice. UUGGHH!! I just can't help myself when it comes to a GREAT deal.
best4less Posted November 14, 2005 Posted November 14, 2005 I am never done until the day we exchange gifts! lol Even if everyone is crossed off my list I will always find something "extra" that I end up picking up.
erh12275 Posted November 14, 2005 Posted November 14, 2005 Quit shopping??? I have never done that...lol. If I see a good deal and have the money I buy it...Christmas or not.
outnumbered Posted November 14, 2005 Posted November 14, 2005 Yep, once everyone is bought for I stop spending money. I can't afford to buy things for no reason.
ebony0421 Posted November 14, 2005 Posted November 14, 2005 I wish, but there is always something that catches your eye.
motoXmom Posted November 14, 2005 Posted November 14, 2005 Never done LOL Because right after Christmas there's a ton of sales to start buying for the next Christmas. I usually don't pick up too much but, a little here and there. That also gives me a stash for Bdays that come up during the year or for MIL who's Bday is Jan. 2nd.
SuperMommy Posted November 14, 2005 Posted November 14, 2005 Well, I usually end up getting the last few gifts a few days before X-mas, so our list isn't done until the end.
amosb1 Posted November 14, 2005 Posted November 14, 2005 Heck no. Half the fun of shopping is finding those "specials" that you didn't know existed before you entered the store, but now find you just can't live without. Sort of like Yard Sales.
Guest all2tired Posted November 14, 2005 Posted November 14, 2005 I try but if I see something while I'm out, I can't help but buy it
Mommie2one Posted November 15, 2005 Posted November 15, 2005 I will buy the items on my list, but probably buy some "last minute or spur of the moment items" too.
Mommie2one Posted November 15, 2005 Posted November 15, 2005 I should but never do stop. Always ad an item or 5! lol
Booterbunz Posted November 15, 2005 Posted November 15, 2005 I usually don't stop shopping. If I get too much for dd or dh for Christmas, it gets stashed in their Birthday pile! LOL If I can find a good deal, I'm going for it!
Karmon Posted November 15, 2005 Posted November 15, 2005 I keeping buying. My kids' birthdays are in March and April so I get that shopping done too:banana01:
Gloey Posted November 15, 2005 Posted November 15, 2005 I keep telling myself I'm through with my GD but if I see something special I'll pick it up. I have to get cracking on the other people I have to buy for, I haven't found a thing for them yet!
Rebirth Posted November 15, 2005 Posted November 15, 2005 I don't think anyone ever does, unless they ran out of money and doesn't have a CC with them.
shopping mom Posted November 15, 2005 Posted November 15, 2005 I am always thinkingof someone I should add to the list. If I see a good bargin I try to get it but I won't overspend my budget.
alimfp Posted November 15, 2005 Posted November 15, 2005 Nope. Because if I find something small for a good price, I get it usually. :)
sperdue Posted November 15, 2005 Posted November 15, 2005 no, I never quit shopping.Exactly!! I always think of something else I MUST get. The rest of the year is the same!
wallsjessica Posted November 15, 2005 Posted November 15, 2005 No cause I always see somethign really cute that the kids would like LOL
Christypl Posted November 15, 2005 Posted November 15, 2005 I shop all year!!!! I keep a closet of gifts.
satidwell Posted November 16, 2005 Posted November 16, 2005 I shop all year!!!! I keep a closet of gifts. i do too never get enough!!!!!
WELUVKDS79 Posted November 16, 2005 Posted November 16, 2005 I have 4 children...there is always a reason to shop....
Tara3117 Posted November 16, 2005 Posted November 16, 2005 I always try to get my shopping done on BF, but then I usually end up tagging along when my friends or family are doing their shopping, and then next thing I know, there's the perfect thing for Dad. And then I can't spend more on Dad than Mom (because I'm anal) so I have to get something for her too! I may need therapy!
JanaBanana Posted November 16, 2005 Posted November 16, 2005 I have 4 children...there is always a reason to shop....Ditto!
