Christmas Shopping - Have You started?Christmas Shopping - Have You started?
cvalh said: "Yes, I've started. Essentially finished, too. I'm not buying a LOT this year... too poor. Did it all online, except for a little bit from the gift shop at work (yay employee discount!)"
cvalh said: "Sooo... I REFUSE to put a tree up before December. My parents would never do one before my birthday (December 11)... I'm not that extreme, but to me, it needs to be December."
spectrachic311 said: "Nope, haven't started yet. I'm going to do most of mine online too...I like eBay because you can buy really unique things for people. I'm not buying a whole lot this year either because, well, let's face it: we as a society generally have just TOO MUCH JUNK. So I'll just buy little things for people and enjoy the holidays."
GreenEyes said: "I'm almost done. I shopped online at two places. Dell & Ebay! I have to pick up some wrapping paper and candy for stockings. My husband and I are not buying gifts for each other this year, not enough money. So it's the kids and a few family members.
How many people have a tree already?
We haven't gotten ours yet. We have tons of decorations to put up.
I love this time of year!:)
Happy Holidays Everyone!"
Diamond said: "Who here has started their Christmas shopping? I haven't yet - I'm thinking about doing most of my shopping online this year. How about you?
Have you hit the malls and picked up any good deals?"

You are soooo lucky! I'll bet your daughter will love it ;)"

Also most stores are marked up so high that when they give you "$200 off" the regular price it just becomes competitive with what online e-tailers have been offering with out discounts.
I have a couple websites you/others might find interesting for locating good deals online.
[url]www.slickdeals.net[/url] and [url]www.dealigg.com[/url]
Both sites list items that are normally at the lowest price that can be found on the web/sometimes in store.
If anyone has any links to good places like that let me know. I have saved/been able to stretch money a lot farther via these two sites. =)

manchuntd88 said: "This year I've taken a new approach to Christmas shopping and its soooo much better. Throughout the year I always see things on sale or things that I think would be a PERFECT gift for someone so I just started making Christmas shopping a year long event. I'm done with pretty much everyone on my list already except for a FEW people who will be really easy. I swear this will save me the whole headache and loads of cash I'm sure. It works out great for my family too.
For example, I found this $70 really really comfy cute sweater on sale for $20 at REI in my aunts size back during the summer and picked it up for her. Then just recently winter gloves at REI went on sale from $30 to $20. So my aunt ended up getting $100 worth of gifts and I only spent $40, I'm loving this!"

joshysgirl said: "thank you diamond! i am lucky and i remind myself of that everyday. i'm sure isabelle will love it, she is a very active baby and loves to jump and bounce around...she has to be the funniest kid ever (i'm sure every parent thinks that though, lol)"
