Spent to Much!

[catherinedwhite]

I think I kept things under control this year. I did use a CC but only because I was ordering online. So I will pay that off when the bill comes in.

I bought a flat screen TV and saved $25 using walmart credit card.

set a limit to the budget, the hard thing is you can't get all you want.

We do secret santa so everybody buy only one gift for each other so every body save a lot.

Me too I made the minimum on one of my credit cards go up.

This year was the lowest I've spent on Christmas yet including the food.   Everything I needed or wanted to get someone, I  found on sale somewhere.  My nephew's gift card I earned on-line.  I was surprised at how little I spent, how much I got and how much budgeted money was left over.  (Some of the leftover money was used to get gifts for some kids whose families I know are struggling and for some pets that really needed some food/treats/toys.)  It was a great Christmas!!

I always over spend at christmas. but I do plan for it so when I go over borad it's not that bad. I also don't spend much during the year

Luckily I didn't spend a lot. I figured that a lot of times people don't like/want/care for the gifts, so why should I waste my money on a gift that people probably don't want.

I didn't I only buy for my sister and husband and I help those in need at church

We over did it too. But I like my kids to have a nice Christmas. I feel bad if they don't.

i spent 50 dollars out of pocket.  however i spent around 800 on gifts in total the rest used my online sites to cash out for gift cards to amazon and was able to pay for christmas this way.  i would have had plenty to pay for everything except for i had some last minute stragglers telling me what they wanted so i had to purchase the items at a store to have them on time.
