What shopping plans does your family have this year?
REMINGTON 770 W/ SCOPE IN VARIOUS CALIBERS ON SALE AT GANDER MOUNTAIN FOR $319.00
Went to the Mall today to find some nice winter boots (old ones are worn out). Lot was very crowded, and lots of shoppers. This mall has a couple of big new stores, so that may explain some of the attraction. Anyway, shoppers were mostly okay, though a very rude one sat where I had my coat and 1 Gym shoe already placed (I was walking around looking for boots). Some kid, text messaging who knows who. I like online shopping the best.

I’ divorced for 5 years. Both boys are adults and going their own ways.
I’ve been toying with the idea of doing Las Vegas for Christmas. Mid life crisis maybe - but it’s looking good in my mind and I don’t see a down side.
We generally have massive Christmases, because of our many children, grandchildren, and sons- and daughters-in-law. Not all of them come every year now, but we still generally have about 15 large stockings around the living room, and mounds of presents.
But for the first time I can remember, my wife has been saying that we have to cut back—and no presents for anyone who doesn’t say what what he or she wants or needs.
We’ll see whether she sticks to that resolution.

My wife tells me that Sears Optical will have coupons good for a free eye exam (up to $50) on “Black Friday” at each store, as well as “dream” eyeglasses for $199/pair and many other specials...
My wife and I are retired. Our children are adults and supporting themselves and their families.
We are reducing our gifts to ourselves and family and taking ourselves to Florida for two months - Feb/Mar as a Christmas Gift. We have lived in Knoxville, Tn for 17 years.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
I just spent several hundred dollars on work clothes for my new job - that’s a Christmas present to myself. I’ll be giving money or gift certificates to my family and their kids - it’s so much easier than actual gifts.
Everyone don’t forget to buy your Watkins spices and extracts to bake your Christmas goodies!
yes, I am a Watkins rep.
Actually my son and DIL plan to just bake cookies for everyone this year. They are newly married, kinda broke, just starting out.
Myself, steady as she goes. I’ll be shopping almost every day this week, but I rarely spend more than $500 on Christmas, and I have a large family.
Black Friday will probably see me at an art supply store and at Costco, but I’ve never woken and dawn and one the fight-your-neighbor thing.
Happy Birthday, Jesus. For God so loved the world, He sent His only Son. That’s all the gift I need.
Went to Cabelas and the new Scheels in Reno Friday/Saturday. They were both packed. These are huge outdoors stores. I needed to buy some ammo reloading supplies. Cabelas was out of everything I needed and Scheels only had the primers I was looking for. I live in CA and thought I’d have no problem at these stores.
Hmmmmm, recession? It sure didn't look like it to us!
I plan on buying lots of food delicacies for presents. Jars of special honey, tins of Orange Pekoe tea, a bottle of extra fine olive oil.
I shall give each person their favorite food treat, I hope.
Avoid the rush, avoid the cars and driving, avoid the shoppers. Shop online. (And make money doing it!)
Use promo code CAT811S online, in store or catalog. Limit 2 free jars.
Expires Nov 30
I am a Fujitsu field engineer, and I spend a lot of time in stores like Ross and TJ Maxx. I couldn’t believe how busy they were in the middle of November between 11:00 and 3:00. I made comments to managers about how busy it seems, even with this “horrible” economy. The places were PACKED with customers, and they were buying cartloads of stuff.
