:happynewyear: I to love the idea of the grocery gift card. This is an idea I can use. The store where I do my grocery shopping has others items as well can see the card being a great help. :globe:
Budgeting for 2008
- Thread starter Gingerbug
- Start date
Hmmm, I'll have to check my favorite grocery store to see if their cards have expiration dates. You all might make a convert out of me yet! I really would be great to be able to get all of our holiday food and not feel the budget pinch in November and December. Maybe then I could afford one of those Honeybaked Hams I keep hearing about!
That is a GREAT ideal. We do Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, plus alot of cookie trays and like the rest said--November and September hit you HARD on the grocery bill.
That would be nice to do and be ahead alittle.

I'm going to continue with my budgeting this year, i did really well this year, i was good the year before, but for the pasted two years, haven't bought any presents on credit!!
Here in the uk we have loyalty cards you get points for every time you spend in a store, or supermarket you can then reclaim these points off your shopping, i collect points from 3 stores this year and basically got my christmas food shopping for free!! Have already started saving the points for 2008!

Pipster-you reminded me that we have Air Miles reward miles in Canada-and in Nova Scotia we can collect points for grocery gift certificates! That would be a smart way to save for Christmas groceries! Thanks for the idea! :jumpinghearts:
