Our friend is giving us a laptop that his company doesn't use any more! He's cleaned it up, and I'm saving it for a Christmas present because that is all my daughter is asking for! :)

my neighbor was in Disney last week so I sent cash w/ her to get these mystery packs that are Mickey Star Wars characters. That is all DS3 wanted when we were there so it will be a nice surprise in his stocking.

Sadly I have several gifts/games that I bought on clearance thinking some one would like them but now I got no one to give them to. Not sure what I am going to do w/ them. Maybe donate to toys for tots or something.

Today I got dnephew a fleece vest with arms that can be unzipped, very nice quality for.... $1,50$!! wow! that was THE biggest saving up to now.

Got 2 small sock monkeys at walmart for $1 each (stocking stuffers), some deodorant for DD's stocking, and some mini cracker jack boxes 3 for $1 at walmarts (old-fashioned with the gift in it!) should have bought more of those mini cracker jack boxes to add to movie baskets.

Shannon - That very gift giving thing happens to me. Not so much anymore because I have tried not to buy just because it's on sale. Toys for Tots is a good reason to give them away. Or, are they things you can hold on to for emergency birthday gifts?

I just discovered that you can get a $10 gift card to K-mart from mycokerewards.com! AWESOME! $10 more dollars is always a bonus! And I've shared that information with my friends and family (and now my MHH friends) so more people can have a bonus! It is limited to just 1 per person, but that's okay - $10 is $10!

wvalice - That is good to know. We have started saving the caps and I get a lot from people at work, too.

That's a great deal, HW2!!! Were they regular sized?

Cathie,

I can't wait until Oct. 1 to see if they have anything good for my points. If not, I'm going to order my hubby pots and pans for Christmas. :)

Kim - I got them thinking I had some one to give it to but when asked they said no. oops.. I will prob. donate them this year. I am out of options for them. Thanks for the reminder.


I got 3 cupong games for the boys. They were $9 instead of $15. I priced matched one at Walmart and picked up some extra balls for $5 she went to price match them and before she realized they were already cheeper. When I looked at the receipt later she didn't charge me for them.

As I get rebate $ back, I am just picking up a small present with it. I just went last night and got my daughter a set of Sharpie markers. She really loves to draw with those because the colors are so vibrant. I may wrap some tonight if I can talk my hubby into not complaining about it! LOL

took my rebate money and got my son a nerf gun, then while the kids were at a church bowling party last night, I wrapped a few presents. :) It is raining today and I'm really feeling the spirit! :)

Nothing yet, but I finally got a 30% off from Kohl's (I usually get 15%) + a coupon for $10 off $10! I think we will head over there this week to see what we can get for any one of our kids. My DD19 (a sophmore in college) is very much into baking from scratch right now. I just bought her a bakeware set and the other day I saw a cake pan in Target that has 4 small butterly shaped cakes...I want to go back and pick that up (1 for me too!) I have a large butterfly cake pan that we both love. That's it for me so far...

Well, my part-time job emailed me yesterday and asked me to work as much as I could, so I'm putting in extra hours left and right, trying to save up extra for Christmas. I was planning on getting my DSD her class ring for Christmas, but she wanted to order it yesterday from the school. Seeing as it was almost $500!!!!!, it's going to be a Christmas present regardless of when she gets it!
