bugglebum Posted November 26, 2005 Share Posted November 26, 2005 I took $400 in cash. Came home with around $40. I'm pleased with myself for never breaking out a cc or debit card. Now I'm going to spend the remaining amount at Joann's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mom2thegirls Posted November 26, 2005 Share Posted November 26, 2005 I'm trying to spend less than last year. So, both kids will get roughly $200 each spent on them. I'll spend ~ $75 on my husband, ~ $50 on my mom. We may splurge and get the kids a PS2, but I'm kinda waiting to see what it gets bundled with, gamewise, before Christmas. My 5yo is done except for a couple of hotwheel cars and play-doh stocking stuffers. This shouldn't be more than $10. My teenager actually went with me to pick out her gifts. I still have ~100 to spend on her but if we get the PS2, I'll get her some games. She may get a BB gift card to round things out. My kids also exchange with 2 of their cousins but we have a $20 limit. Since they are a teenager and a 20-something college student we usually go the gift card/cash route with them. Oh, I almost forgot the teenager's boyfriend. We got some pretty good deals on "Family Guy" dvds. I've spent ~$25 on him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunprincess831 Posted November 26, 2005 Share Posted November 26, 2005 I planned on about $400 and ended up spending about $250 and got quite a few people knocked off my list and the rest I got a start on them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
best4less Posted November 26, 2005 Share Posted November 26, 2005 Well, I planned on spending around $200 or so when I thought I'd actually be able to go out for BF but since I could only shop online this year, I only spent $112. However, $35 of that was in GC's so only $77 out of pocket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gloey Posted November 26, 2005 Share Posted November 26, 2005 I was good. I was tired and didn't really need anything so I slept late and went to Kohl's about 11. I spent 69. there, buying 7 fleece throws for co-workers that were on sale for 6.99 each and two down throws on sale for 9.99 each for two bosses. (And I got my $10 in Kohls cash to use next time). Well actually it was about 80 because I went to the Dollar store for gift wrap and bags afterwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hope1976 Posted November 26, 2005 Share Posted November 26, 2005 We planned on spending around $250 (well, $25 for putting items on layaway anyway), but we ended up spending $1100!!! We weren't planning the laptop, desktop, or camera, but got all 3 of them at Walmart So in electronics alone, we spent $900 - so minus those, we didn't do too bad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
