| I was out yesterday and had some store credit on a card,,went to spend it..and actually couldnt find anything I wanted.Then I saw this little book of mazes,,,BOUGHT IT!My oldest grandson loves those type things,,Find Waldo and mazes etc.So it was on sale for 9.00,,I went and bought it,,,but he will get it at Christmas!
Its my first officiall gift for Christmas,,I have a few crafts Im working on,,but nothing till now purchased!I have a 40% off coupon for Hobby Lobby,,,gonna use it this week and get another craft for one of the grand daughters ,,hopefully will be able to use these coupons and get the discounts on more gifts!
I get coupons from Joanns and Hobby Lobby,,at times I can get one from Linen and things store for 20% off items.Anyone know of other discounts from majors stores?Ususally signing up for the newsletter is how I have gotten these before. |

| | That's great Donna. I have dh's birthday and Christmas shopping finished. This year for Christmas, dh and I agreed on only one or two gifts each. We're cutting down on the gift buying. |

| | We do that too Sissy..sometimes we have bought something for the house as a gift together,,then again we've done one gift or set a amount limit to each other.Makes shopping alittle easier. |

| I haven't organized any Christmas gifts for DH or DS as yet so far, I've been thinking I might sneak a few while we're away on holidays, depending on what I might find. I've been pre-occupied with organizing gifts to bring over for family that my brain's feeling a little fried  DH has a LARGE family!
For the 3 of us it will probably be practical gifts (as usual), I'm not much for extravagance...even at Christmas....although...with my Treat Jar I will spoil MYSELF a little this year!
