luv2shopnc Posted October 27, 2006 Posted October 27, 2006 Do you save up for it, have a christmas club account, use credit cards? I save for it the last couple of months before BF. NO CREDIT CARDS ALLOWED!
momof5plus1hubby Posted October 27, 2006 Posted October 27, 2006 No Credit Cards for me either:gdparanoid: Except for my debit card and paypal card LOL... I mostly save up and use cash..
migirlfriday Posted October 27, 2006 Posted October 27, 2006 We have flex spending at work where you pay in so much out of every pay check and then when you have medical expenses that are not paid by insurance you send in the receipts and "draw" money off that account. Well, I just save all my receipts until November and then send them in. A week later I have a check.
elena_398 Posted October 27, 2006 Posted October 27, 2006 I save throughout the year and pay cash or use my debit card when shopping on BF. I don't use credit cards
pogiporkchop Posted October 27, 2006 Posted October 27, 2006 I'll have cold hard cash... my husband just gave it to me last night!
PeachieKeen Posted October 27, 2006 Posted October 27, 2006 I save up! No Credit Cards allowed for BF or Christmas Gifts...I'd be way in over my head if I did that!!
Jennifer0530 Posted October 27, 2006 Posted October 27, 2006 I pay with one credit card. I hate carrying cash. Normally I only have a dollar or two in my pocket. Then saturday I transfer how ever much I spent from my savings to my checking then either make an on-line payment or write a check to the bank that my credit card is from.
sleepyshopper Posted October 27, 2006 Posted October 27, 2006 Strictly my PayPal card.....I only carrying a few dollars in cash for coffe and food.
Marcster Posted October 27, 2006 Posted October 27, 2006 Strictly my PayPal card.....I only carrying a few dollars in cash for coffe and food.Yep, that's how we do it too... I try to use the PayPal card for everything over $15.00. Last time I checked, no business was willing to pay me a 1.5% bonus for paying in cash (that's what I get for using the PayPal Prepaid Debit Card).

berry1014 Posted October 27, 2006 Posted October 27, 2006 Christmas club! We refuse to charge anything for the holidays.
decafmom Posted October 27, 2006 Posted October 27, 2006 We use a credit card for everything, but it is paid off monthly. As long as we're paying it off monthly we figure we might as well take advantage of the benefits that come along with it. We even have most of our bills paid through that card directly.
CrayZMama80 Posted October 27, 2006 Posted October 27, 2006 Ours mostly is debit.. some cash too. I try not to carry too much cash cuz of all the crazies out there on that day..
guilliam Posted October 27, 2006 Posted October 27, 2006 Debit card as we have direct deposit of our paychecks.Save some each pay. Then whatever I get from selling on ebay is deposited into it.
Mara Posted October 27, 2006 Posted October 27, 2006 I'm selling PS3's on ebay to get extra money for BF ] Mara
arrowpolisher Posted October 27, 2006 Posted October 27, 2006 Cash or debit card here. I will probably stick with cash so I do not accidentally go over my allotted amount.
mrscrafty Posted October 27, 2006 Posted October 27, 2006 Cash or check, depending on which store I am in.

motoXmom Posted October 27, 2006 Posted October 27, 2006 We save our change througout the year along with some singles and of course whatever we save for Holidays it really adds up. So to answer the question Cash. Very few things I use debit card for on BF.
