[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 392692, member: 84"] Oh, I have to agree totally!! I've been working triple hard to squeeze pennies until they scream this season. I am offically done xmas shopping for the grands, including santa gifts for katies kids....except need to get an outfit at the thrift store for Evan. And I actually had money left over........and did not have to break into my emergency stash of cash.:happyguy: And even managed to find Alex's next to impossible to find thing he wanted most from santa.......the bat cave playset. Kayla's huge savings : 3 Gymaberie (can't spell the darn name) sweaters which orginally cost 70-90.00 each 3 really pretty ones never worn for 2 bucks at our thrift store. A sweater from Children's Place also never worn for 2 bucks. Alex's huge savings: a suit jacket, dress pants, dress shirt each for 2 bucks, brand new pair of bugle boy jeans 2 bucks, children's place sweater never worn 2 bucks Batcave and 6 figures never out of the packages Ebay 30 bucks. Electronic GI Joe action figure retails for about 50.00 bought at Odd Lots for 25.00 Evan's huge savings: My Friends Tigger and Pooh playhouse set plus figures like new 2nd hand store 10.00, Little Tykes semi and cars like new 5.00 Darrin's huge savings: same GI Joe figure as Alex, just a different guy lol Brandon's: Fisher Price dump truck 5.00 cheaper than retail at Odd Lots Aubreys: really pretty baby doll for about 12.00 at Odd Lots Conners is the only one that wasn't on sale and it still was cheap. lol This isn't all katie's kids got.............. I also bought them each a stocking because they don't have one for 1.00 and the everything is a dollar store : Tinkerbell for kayla, Toy Story for Alex, and Mickey Mouse for Evan.....got a few more stocking stuffers there for just a dollar each too. Makes me feel better when we just found out husband's unemployment runs out next week.........until they pass a new extension. Grown ups are getting crocheted scarfs and hats. :elf::santa: [/QUOTE]
