I always say EVERY SINGLE YEAR that I'm not gonna go overboard, but by the time Dec 25th is here and I'm looking around....i've gone overboard AGAIN :)
I'm spending the same as I did last year...... I'm looking for better deals though to get more bang for my buck! :)
We have cut way back on our spending this year with cost of living increases, sad about it but that`s the way it is.
My husband was laid off in April of 2009 & although he has been back to work for a few months now, we are just now getting caught up on our bills, we are just not able to buy very much for our children. We have 8 kids so when it comes right down to it we are not going to have very much to spend! This year is way different from past holidays because before the lay off we were very comfortable, now not so much!
I decided to do the "Black Friday" I think that I just got a few deal when it came to clothing. But for the most part I so far spent about 600 for Christmas..... But if you look at our tree its pretty empty underneath.
