suddenly_1976 Posted November 18, 2006 Posted November 18, 2006 Is there anyone else that has gotten so many good deals that they have more than they planned for their kiddos? I don't want to spoil my children too bad but I am having sucha good time getting cheap stuff that I just can't help myself Anyone else in the same boat?
Kellylumbard Posted November 18, 2006 Posted November 18, 2006 sadly I have not seen all that many good deals yet and I have not even started gift shopping yet.
Bunniq Posted November 18, 2006 Posted November 18, 2006 Well this year I see I will have the same problem as last year. When I was given the information on the family we are sponsoring this year, I was told to please not go over the limit like last year. I told them I didn't go over the limit, and they responded that I had bought to many things for the family. I told them I just found great deals! :holiday08
elena_398 Posted November 19, 2006 Posted November 19, 2006 I've found this year that there as been so many great clearances and weekly advertised deals that I've bought a lot already. Actually enough where I shouldn't even go out on BF as I know I'll buy tons more. If I see a ridiculously good deal, I'll get it. lol

I go through my best friends church. She picks two families and we help her with one of them. I'm not sure why they set a limit. I think it might be to get more to sign on to help. And yes DH and I love to help. We even became friends with the family we helped last year. They were not supposed to know who helped, but somehow they found out, and this year they are sponsoring a family.
elena_398 Posted November 19, 2006 Posted November 19, 2006 My church doesn't give us a limit really. We always go overboard with our family we ädopt"every year. I already got most items already. The mom didn't want anything, but I will definately buy her a few items. I think she would want some clothes, personal items, and maybe just a GC to a clothing store. Haven't decided
