Yesterday we had a first real snow fall of the year and so I hit up the grocery store for a few items so I do not have to go out again. I also stopped to get gas for both my car and to have on hand for the snowblower just in case.

I DIDN'T go shopping for holiday clearance on the day after Christmas, so that counts double for me! (I'm a sucker for red tags at Target.)

 

[tinkarooni]

Oh my gosh, you guys have done so well in the worst shopping month of the year.

I had so many extra expenses this month and in November, not even a chance of me joining. I am in for January though. Can't wait to get back on track for saving. January, February and March I am buckling down, before spring hits and we start on the home improvement projects.

Just wait until next weekend! It will be year end clearance and all the Christmas stuff! I am hoping that some of the toys that were 30% off the day after Christmas are marked down to 50%-75% by next weekend. I really would like to get my son's birthday presents done. Even though his bday isn't til April, but they have a cash register that he really wants.

I'm impressed with those with so many $0 days!!! That's wonderful to have that many during a month that's centered on spending.

I'm trying really hard not to spend during these good sales.

I am hoping that some of the toys that were 30% off the day after Christmas are marked down to 50%-75% by next weekend. I really would like to get my son's birthday presents done. Even though his bday isn't til April, but they have a cash register that he really wants.

I picked up a really cute cash register during their July toy clearance. I like to stash away toys for my gift closet. If you want it, I'll be happy to make a trade.

 

[tinkryansmom]

Been lurking here - but I think I am in for January!! Have been reading "Total Money Makeover" - really need to save some money so we can build a house and get out of this apartment!!

I blew it at the after Christmas sale at Macy's but DH really needed new clothes for his new job responsibilities. Got some great deals. But now I gotta stop!!!

Will work on budget totals and come play in 2010!! Thanks for some extra motivation!!

I picked up a really cute cash register during their July toy clearance. I like to stash away toys for my gift closet. If you want it, I'll be happy to make a trade.

Thanks for the offer, but I really don't have anything to trade with.

Alright, so Today I spent ALOT! And I really am already over budget so I shouldn't have spent anything, but we needed gas and we needed diapers and I had a $5 off $25 merchandise that was expiring today. And Aaron needed a new pillow for his bed and I told him he could pick out a new pillowcase! I never realized that a pillowcase costs 6-7 with characters on it and a whole sheet set cost 19! So we went with the whole sheet set.
