I try after Thanksgiving, when sales starts.
-
I usually start in october. i try to do layaway but some stores have done away with that. I use to be one to wait til "black friday" but it was way to hectic lol.. entertaining...but hectic
-
I start at the very end of the year. When everything gets marked down after Christmas. I hit up alot of sale items at Wal-Mart, Walgreens, Stage & other local shops in my town all year long. That way im not in a rush at the end of the year. And since I get great deals, the kids have lots to open at Christmas time.
-
Usually late November/early December. I do most of our shopping online since we live in the country, so it helps to cut back on time.
-
I pick up stuff all year long. Whenever I see something on sale that I know will make a good gift. then just store it until christmas.
-
start as soon as possible. usually over summer. sometimes i even start right after xmas if i see the perfect thing for someone on sale. we exchange names with my husbands family and some of them like to wait till thanksgiving to do it. that is toooooo late for me. people go on vacations over the summer and see things for people but cant buy it cause they dont know who they are going to have. not like you can go back on vacation at a later date to buy it.
buy xmas paper and stuff right after xmas when they go on sale. you get awesome deals!!!!!!!!!!!! :wave:
-
I start during the summer. I like to give my family a lot of different gifts.
-
I start after the summer is over.
-
:) I do my Christmas shopping every day of the year! So have a little Christmas now!
-
I pick up things whenever I find them but, the bulk of my shopping is done right before Christmas.
-
Well after thanksgiving is when I really get down to it. but before that if I find something for someone I just have to have.
-
I don't.
-
i start right after thanksgiving and continue thru christmas eve
-
Usually around the first or second of December
-
I start in January, that takes all the pressure off. I have 6 kids to buy for, so that would be way too stressful for a last minute shopping spree.
-
Well if I have money I like to start in mid-November, but usually that's not the case so not until the first or second week of December!
-
I usually start in October as soon as the Alaska dividend hits and then continue to finish off everybody's list until about the week of Christmas.
-
Usually whenever we get our other paycheck from paying rent a couple times that has happened on christmas eve. I don't recommend that one bit it was a nightmare. If i had things my way i would go shopping on black friday and follow up on cyber monday but something always seems to happen so there is not alot of money by the time black friday comes but they have such great deals
-
I try to start as early as I can because money tends to get tight for us around the holidays, so if I buy stuff early, I can get people more presents.
-
Right after Christmas I start keeping my eye out for birthday and Christmas gifts for the following year. There are always some great after Christmas sales. :thumbsup:
I'm actually not doing that great this year, compared to years past. But, I think the economy hasn't helped as I've had to deal with taking more money and using it towards bills. I'm only done with three people and partially on another. Still a ways to go.
-
on black friday. get the chance to stock up on somethings
-
like a few weeks before Christmas. lol
-
I usually shop early and even buy things all through the year, this year I am not doing much shopping.
-
i shop all year long. throughout the year i add things to lists to cover all the holidays, birthdays, anniversaries for my family and close friends. then, while out doing my regular shopping, if i come across something that's on my list (and within my budget) i buy it. when i get home i put the intended recipient's name on the post-it, affix it to the gist, and it goes in a huge rubbermaid box on the highest shelf in the garage. then its crossed of my list. so by this time of year, i'm almost done with the shopping part of the holidays and i can just focus on the cooking and baking and candy-making!
-
i start my x-mas shopping during black friday!
-
I usually end up putting it off til like, the week before, which I always try not to do, but usually end up doing anyway ha.
-
right after christmas is over i go year round
-
ive already started. i have 3 kids, so it can get kinda costly if i wait till the last minute. i just catch stuff all year long on sale that i think my kids would like and then find a place to hide it in the house. hahaha :dontknow:
-
i USUALLY wait till christmas eve lol but this year i started first week in december ;D
-
i too like to shop all year long and work on things -but usually i'm still buying the bulk of things in nov/december.
-
you can start at anytime, you can start the year before, or the day before, just dont be like me thats all i am gonna say, dont go at the last minute lol
