X-mas shopping!

I am very proud and happy to announce that I am 98.7% done Christmas shopping!

"Thank You very much!"

And boy-oh-boy, did I rock the world of shopping this year! I shopped sales and clearance stores only and saved more money than I spent.

I also had a major "first" this Christmas shopping season......you ready for this???.......I bought something on-line. I have to admit I don't enjoy this! There is something hard about giving out my credit card info, being charged and then not immediately recieving my purchase. I hate waiting 7 to 10 business days to recieve my goods in the mail, but, I couldn't pass up my great deal. I also like dealing directly with people, like a sales clerk. That way if something goes screwy, I have someone I can directly blame. Like Sally the cashier who charged me the original price instead of the sale price. On-line screw ups frighten me, afterall, you can't blame a computer!

So a big thank you to all of my favorite stores for saving me loads of mula!!! TJ MAXX, Ross, Red Balloon's 20% off sale, and especially and surprisingly Big Lots!

Here are a few examples of the money I saved:

Didj Gaming system. Normal Price $ 89.99 Big Lots Price $ 29.99 savings $60.00

Didj Custom Learning Game Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends. Normal Price $ 29.99 Leapster Leapster on- line Clearance Price $9.99 Savings $ 20.00

Didj Custom learning Games Double Pack. Star Wars : The Clone Wars & Indiana Jones. Normal Price $29.99 each. Leapster on-line sale price $15.00 for both. savings $ 45.00

Struxx Size It Up Construction System. Normal Price $64.99 TJ MAXX Sale Price $29.99 savings $ 35.00

Could have spent this much $ 245.00

But Only spent this much $ 85.00

Savings $160.00

Wow, that puts a smile on my face.Santa would be so proud. Now......what to get the husband???? Any suggestions? What are you guys getting your husbands this year? Do share.
