[QUOTE="muttmeister, post: 493862, member: 135"] Yup, I shopped the Christmas sales. Next Christmas I don't have to buy cards, paper, or bows. I don't save wrapping paper any more but I remember my grandmother used to spend a day trimming the edges and then ironing it out and rolling it up so it would be in good shape. I don't even iron clothes so I'm sure not doing wrapping paper. LOL I bought quite a few gifts and, yes, I do a spreadsheet too. I'd say my actual shopping is about 50% done and I shop all year; when I see something I think somebody would like, I get it and add it to my gift closet (and the spreadsheet). And I plan to start a couple of afghans soon go give next year too. It's not so much that I'm organized; it's just that I've always been poor and this is a great way to save money and also not to have to come up with a big wad when Christmas rolls around. Paying a little at a time is do-able where buying them all at the last minute often isn't. [/QUOTE]
