Are you saving for Christmas 2015, yet? You still have 7 months from now until November...
I know many of you pick up deals all throughout the year. I can't seem to shop that way. We live 50 miles from our "big" shopping place. Locally, we only have Walmart, Super1 (grocery), and three dollar stores - Family Dollar, Dollar General, and Dollar Tree. It always seems when we do go to Monroe, we have a rather lengthy list of very specific things we need to do that takes all our time, therefore, I don't really have time to shop and browse for Christmas bargains as I would like to. So, I resort each year to saving so I can purchase nearer to Christmas.
Many did the 52 week challenge last year. Are any of you doing it?
I've been putting money in savings once a month and adding money to a Walmart card. (It always seems we end up buying a lot from there for the holidays - not always gifts, either.)
I've also been saving $5 bills. I've had to dip into them twice, so not as much as I would have had, but still have most of them - glad I had them to dip into!
I need to start doing some grocery stores...seems Lana did two or three of those last year.
