    I did not spend that much last year - so easy to stay within the same bounds.

    With the economy still like it is, I am being very careful to spend my money wisely and to cut back as much as I can.

    It is just too much. Our family needs to get back into the real meaning of Christmas...Christ being born.

    I have been fortunate enough to continue to have my same job so I will spend the same.

    What we been doing to save us money this yr is if there is something we can by using coupons we use them. Lately we been able to score free stuff well we pay tax but other than that anything I can buy with a coupon I am so doing it. This yr we actually discussed limits where in the past we just will hog wild.. This yr we are not able to do that..

    We have been using coupons a lot more also. There have been some great coupons on toys, that have saved 50 percent or more and a number of stores at our mall have had pretty decent coupons for gifts for the rest of the family, so I would say that we are using our money more wisely this year

    keeping a budget helps me spend less. Plus my family agrees that the holidays are about being together, not about presents.
