lilwywy Posted October 10, 2020 Posted October 10, 2020 I always say I'm going to spend less but some how I always end up spending the same
queenkishaa Posted October 10, 2020 Posted October 10, 2020 No budget this year but I don't think I will spend that much money anyway. 1
jesusluvu Posted October 12, 2020 Posted October 12, 2020 No budget this year but I don't think I will spend that much money anyway.That seems to be the consensus when talking to others as well.
angelbabymommy Posted October 12, 2020 Posted October 12, 2020 No real budget this year...I’m just now close to getting caught up with bill thanks to COVID 2
jesusluvu Posted October 12, 2020 Posted October 12, 2020 No real budget this year...I’m just now close to getting caught up with bill thanks to COVID but God has been good so I’m not really complaining. I am grateful that my girls are older and although the items are more price-wise, the lists are shorter. I’m also very thankful for Klarna, AfterPay, etc which help me shop and pay a little over time without having to wait to receive my items.How is this service ? I keep seeing it everywhere. Is it like the shopping networks and they just bill you each month why you use the item? What happens if people do not pay?
stevierocks Posted October 19, 2020 Posted October 19, 2020 no specific budget .. but afraid i wont do as much shopping ... then again i am sure covid fear cant stop me .
budgetsRsexy Posted October 20, 2020 Posted October 20, 2020 Because of COVID I haven’t been spending as much since March as I can’t go out to the stores to shop. I don’t really have many gifts I need to buy but I suspect that I’ll end up spending more this year as I will be going to small/local businesses instead of major retailers. I won’t get the same great deals but I know local businesses are really struggling and I want to give them my money because I want them to survive and to still be around next year. I’m also in the high risk category and I suspect there will not be the same crowds at smaller businesses so that’s a win win for me. I anticipate spending $100 over my normal gift budget. 3
mgreen Posted October 21, 2020 Posted October 21, 2020 We recently completed a room addition. As part of this we are repurposing several other rooms. In doing so, I have come across so many things I didn't know or remember I had! I don't have a budget, but I don't know if I really need anything. Plus this year is so confusing..... 1

cinnamon16201 Posted October 26, 2020 Posted October 26, 2020 (edited) Except for a GC for our son-in-law, I'm done with him, daughter and granddaughter thanks to Prime days and other online stores. About $200 each. Not sure about hubby but we blew probably a lot of it for each other this weekend because our main TV died and we had to buy a new one to the tune of about $1000. So may not do too much for each other. Hubby hasn't been able to do his part time job much this year due to the pandemic and not much of an increase in SS income. Unless it's something we desperately need I probably won't buy much over BF. Edited October 26, 2020 by cinnamon16201
berry1014 Posted October 26, 2020 Posted October 26, 2020 No set budget. Not buying as many gifts but will spend a little more on each of the kids' main gift.
playacet Posted November 3, 2020 Posted November 3, 2020 $500 for Black Friday Weekend. We keep that budget separate from the Christmas budget. We reserve Black Friday for those deals you don't normally see throughout the year
lucyismycat Posted November 4, 2020 Posted November 4, 2020 Well, it's official, there is NO budget. After purchasing DS9's new goalie gear and a new HVAC system for our house, our washing machine went out on Sunday. Waiting for repair man to come next Monday but I have a feeling he is going to say our 10 year old unit is kaput. Luckily there are appliance sales for this one! My dryer has been acting up for a little while as well, so I think I will splurge and get both if the "opportunity" presents itself LOL
