Christmas Spending

With Thanksgiving now past and Christmas closely upon us, if we haven't started doing our Christmas buying, it's about time to start. The money is tight, the stores all have bargains and we have gifts to buy. I am trying to teach my darling daughter that when choosing a gift for a particular person, don't go out and buy just anything, buy something that they will enjoy, use or otherwise appreciate. Pay attention to what they like and make a list of things that you could consider buying. Secondly, check out the ads in the Sunday paper to see if any of those things are going to be on sale.... and lastly, check online to see if any coupons are going to be offered, because alot of time, people don't realize that let's say for instance that: Bath and Body Works is having a sale on buy 2 and get one free, but if you were to look online, there's a coupon for buy 1 and get one free. What a great deal is that?

Upcoming Christmas Shopping

You know, here it is, almost October......fastly approaching Christmas. I have already started seeing Christmas items being displayed and I tell you, I am not ready for the holiday season just yet. However, I will tell you, that I am an avid fan of doing the black friday shopping. My grown daughter and I ALWAYS, without fail, go out in the afternoon after our Thanksgiving Dinner is done, and we search for the papers that have those ads. We sit for HOURS searching through them. They are wonderful... and to tell you the truth, we have saved so much money by shopping on this particular day. However, I have discovered that there is another way to be able to get those great bargains....and believe me, teens have a mighty good list each year of things they would like to have. One great and wonderful store on MY teens list this year will most definitely be something from Best Buy. Here is the link for them on the black friday listing. http://www.black-friday.net/ad/bestbuy-black-friday.html Now, they always have a great sale on this special buying day. Not only that, but now I won't have to get up at 4:00 am and get dressed and drive to the store and stand in that horribly long line, I can now go to black friday and see all the great sales coming up and I can shop all day and still get the great bargains. I will for sure be shopping from this site on black friday. What a wonderful way to save my feet for one, more sleep for another, and the biggest prize of all, is saving MONEY !!!!!
