  1. $10 for pizza lunch for 2 dc and myself - friend and her dc came over for lunch.  We split the cost of pizza,

    $30 at grocery

    $5 for a couple items I forgot at grocery -- borrowed $ from ds, need to pay him back

    $55 for 5 Christmas gifts

     

    The gifts were are surprise find.  Stopped at a store to get some ideas.   Found these items on clearance and these items were some of the exact items on dss wish list.

  2. BTW when I 1st read the title I read it as "How are you doing WITH your holiday shopping?".

    My response to that was

      :lol:  :lol:  :smilielol5:  :smilielol5:  :rofl:  :rofl:   Yeah less than 3 weeks and I have bought nearly nothing.

    Thinking about buying everyone groceries (regular items not specialty) or household items (washing detergent, dish soap, shampoo, toilet paper etc. )

  3. I bought quite a bit at our local craft fairs this years.  I also ordered online mostly.  Youngest and I went to Bass Pro shortly before Thanksgiving and did some shopping for dh and oldest dd.  I actually picked up a couple things today unexpectantly.  I was shopping downtown (stand alone stores, not mall) and saw some really cute things at a good price for stocking stuffers.  Amazon is easy and their boxes all say amazon, so it could be household stuff (paper towels, etc) or Christmas.....

     

    I too thought all Amazon came in their boxes but be make sure to read on big items.  Some come in the regular box.  But generally amazon give you the option for one of their boxes.  Didn't see that option 1 time.  Learned and looked the next time.

  4. Week before last I ordered my mom a grandmother necklace.  It was under $20 but I really think she will like it.  It will be her Christmas gift from dss.

     

    This week we paid to have our heat fixed :sad:   I am extremely thankful it was able to be fixed but was so not planning that expense.  So what little money I had set aside for Christmas shopping is gone.  Again thankful for heat getting fixed.  :thumbup:

     

    We had 3 family dinners, each on a different day but none here. :drool:    I bought the stuff I was to bring before the heat deal.

     

    After all the dinners/running I have been home and lazy this weekend.

     

     

    Sounds like y'all are finding some GREAT deals :hurray:

  5. Plastic is still available here but I use reusable bags as much as possible.  I have a bunch from various places.  Some I bought and some were freebies. 

     

    Tractor Supply has awesome bags.  They are tall so not always great for shorter folks but I have a tall ds that generally is at the store with me.  They are heavy duty (can hold like 5  2 liter bottles and no breaking).  They are cheap too.  Usually about $1.50 but go on sale often for 99c

     

    My dc will help the cashier by holding the bags open or even just taking the items from her and placing them in the bags.  When I put stuff on the counter I do it in groups.  Bag and what I want in that bag.  Then next bag and stuff.   I do that because I know where stuff goes in my house and try to make it easier on cashier by not having to decide what can fit in a bag.

     

    If I happen to forget my bags I make sure to reuse the plastic ones.
