Firemansgal311 Posted September 23, 2006 Share Posted September 23, 2006 Dh got a few bonuses in the form ov visa gift cards from work and we have them put up strictly for BF and Christmas. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alimfp Posted September 23, 2006 Author Share Posted September 23, 2006 That's great! DH gets his quarterly bonus the third Friday in October. I'm pleading with him to not spend it (like he usually does, which I never say anything any other times!). I know he'd enjoy going out on BF and spending more than $50 like before, lol.

bayhaysay Posted September 24, 2006 Share Posted September 24, 2006 Technically, I don't have anything saved for BF because I use my Oct. and Nov. paychecks and I don't have them yet. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sigrist_2000 Posted September 24, 2006 Share Posted September 24, 2006 i voted credit cards...i try to manage amount spent...but sometime you just have to splurge just a little...plus gives me a month or two to pay it off and still gain money between payments so i dont have to spend cash all at once...plus i can save 1% off everything on cash rebates from credit card.

ean1879 Posted September 24, 2006 Share Posted September 24, 2006 You should have raised the limits. Remember alot of people spend thousands, unfortunately your poll ends at $200. If you're only spending $200 it's almost not worth the long waits. Although it is extremely fun waiting in line, I laugh every year at the people that show up to buy the $29 mp3 player or some $4.99 movies. The wait just doesn't see to be worth it. BTW. About $2000 mentally set aside so far. However, I'll only spend it if I can get a name brand 50" Plasma. COME ON BEST BUY.....DON'T LET ME DOWN!!!!!

Jackel Posted September 24, 2006 Share Posted September 24, 2006 None, DH gets 3 paychecks in Oct. The thrid check goes to nothing but groceries so I get the whole rest of it for BF/Christmas shopping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StephanieD Posted September 24, 2006 Share Posted September 24, 2006 You should have raised the limits. Remember alot of people spend thousands, unfortunately your poll ends at $200. If you're only spending $200 it's almost not worth the long waits. Actually, the option is $200+ which goes beyond the $200. :) I haven't saved any money. I'm hoping to use my whole paycheck for that week. If I plan properly, I can afford to do that and use my husband's check for bills, groceries, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shopping mom Posted September 24, 2006 Share Posted September 24, 2006 So far I have about $35.00 saved but considering we have had no paychecks since June first and all of our bills are up to date we have not done bad. We do not owe any charge cards either. The job at the photo studio is not giving the hours I need but I may be okay with the hours there for Christmas money if the other job I am looking comes through. I would really like to have $150 per child if possible that would be $900. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaarak Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 I have to start saving ASAP. If not I will be relying on my credit cards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweethonee97 Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 I will use my paycheck that I get on Black Friday for shopping. It is in the bank at 12:00 am. Would love to finish on Black Friday but it never happens that way! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bunniq Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 Credit cards for us this year on BF. We have been using credit cards and paying them off when the bill comes to try and boast up our credit scores before we enter the housing market. We only have a few things to shop for mostly for our nephews and each other. Last year we bought clothes for our nephews, but their moms tend to go overboard with clothes so we figure we would buy books and toys for them this year.

tootsieroll23 Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 Will use credit cards on BF, but will pay in full when the bill comes in...same except DH doesn't get his bonus until January. Something to do with taxes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
