My shopping is relatively easy in that it is primarily cash for everyone. Grandsons will use theirs to pay for their books next semester. My son and dil are using theirs to pay for new windows in their living room. Gift cards from Cabelas for more ammo and a new tent in their stockings with some small funny inexpensive gifts made shopping this Christmas a breeze. None of them have a smartphone or tablet and don’t seem to care for anything electronic beyond their laptops and old style cell phone. Works fine for me.
Mine was easier, we have 7 grands, 5 great grands. Kroger’s puts gift cards, straight denominations only, at 4 times the gas points. I walk in grab 12 $25 cards, and 3 $100 cards, they do their own shopping, I shop for hubby, and I get 1% back on my Discover to boot, and $3.00 over the next 2 months off on up to 35 gals of gas at a fill up.
Step daughter used her’s to buy a ECHO for her IT Business, as we combine her BD and Christmas in one as they are so close to each other.
