We have an amount we aim at for the Maximum we spend on each one on our list which I strive to stick very close to.

This year, we just gained a little grandson, so it it VERY tempting to get him and the parents more....but I am sticking to my resolve to stop right where I am at.

I always go over board too! Don't feel so bad! LOL!! I say that you can't take the money with you when your dead, so spend it like you have it and the bills are always going to be there so who cares! Tis the season to be Merry and giving! God bless! :)

Since my hubby died and we lost his income as well - we haven't had any trouble staying within a budget for anything including Christmas.  Wish I had started this years ago - but for those who aren't over-doing on credit it isn't a problem.  Don't want to be a bah humbug though lol so all enjoy regardless.   :present:

I spent way too much on holiday greeting cards this year. The cards themselves weren't so bad, but when I got to the P.O. to mail them, I found out that some of them cost $1.19 each to send! That is wayyyyyyy too much for postage. The cards were fancy pop-up cards that didn't meet postal regulations so I had to pay up to send them.


:sad1:

Thankfully, I haven't had to do hardly any shopping except for food, so I've saved money. Too much hustle and bustle and I'm glad I didn't have to get caught up in it this year.

I wished having enough to spend to much was a problem I had.

I have had a budget all year long for what I am spending on the holidays. I so can not afford to go over at anytime. Next year is going to be a better year. Things are in for a good change and I am happy about that.

Im sure we all do, you go with a list, but there are bits and pieces that you see and think oh I want that too! I tend to buy everything intended, but then once I see it, think its not enough and buy more :(

I agree, it's a good thing for Fusioncash to help with extra income...especially around the holidays!
