[QUOTE="Andy, post: 225001, member: 5096"] I just try to purchase very inexpensive items. Too afraid to keep track. husband will let me know when I go too far overboard. That little silver credit card makes my life easier. difficult child is getting Rock Band for Wii, bed sheets, sled, and a bread maker if I can get out to get one in time. easy child is getting prescription sunglasses, bed sheets, and towels. I purchased the Sunday School gifts (60 gifts). About 1/2 were 50 cents (2 for $1.00) at the Dollar Tree. The rest were $1.00. We purchased $1.00 gifts for the 7 other students in difficult child's classroom (nutcrackers for the boys, stuffed monkeys for 4th grade girls, and a dog statue for the 6th grade girl). Spent about $7.00 each on the other 3 boys in difficult child's class for a swim party Tuesday night. I was a secret Santa at work so total of about $15 on that. Bought husband two dress shirts and a pair of dress pants. I got my dad a DVD of Newhart shows and a left handed calendar for mom. Purchased several items for brother in law and sister in law - they are so hard to buy for but I think we did o.k. this year. easy child needs to order a new book for brother in law that has pictures of all the cover pages of the TIMES magazine. Cheaper if we do it online and then can be shipped to them. (easy child learned about the book from Martha Stewart show. She says Martha is very helpful - she also learned about air pressure in her jeep - if the pressure is right, it saves gas mileage and easy child is all for that.) I think I am doing very well thrifty wise this year. [/QUOTE]
