And so the Shopping begins.........

I told the kids they get one thing, the rest goes to the poor.  By God's grace we have been blessed.  We don't need more crap around the house.  However, but many people need the money we spend on the crap!

Well, back on track saving for the car (Yes I admit to being an idiot with $) but family knows this and knows that if I was working I'd be more giving.

I think in one way I've had a better "View" of what's REALLY important and what does matter to me and it's not much though, but it's the important stuff and not "What's in it for me?"

Well. i will admit i did Black Fri today i went to Menards and bought a 22" bike for my granddaughter for $27.00 i bought 6 snuggles for $2.99 each and a DVD player for $14.00 and good ski gloves for $2.22 each that's how i shop i buy the same amount but shop the bigger sales. I cashout $200 on money that i won and spent it all today but i had fun winning it and spending it that's what life is all about sharing the wealth and when i go to church on sunday i will give the Good Lord his share!!!!!!

i try to spend some money to my son and his girlfriend.
they just get a new Home together , so i think they will need the money
to buy some little things for their home.
If they are happy  i am happy too.

Yes.. my problem is how do you buy presents for someone
who has everything?
Kids are easy, its the adults and teenagers..
I always think the best way is getting Gift Cards.. but heck
then that takes the fun out of the 14 hour shopping days
playing with all the new toys and video games stores have on display,
messing with the new gadgets crazy people have come up with
and how about the trying ALL the testers of the perfumes
and make-ups.. thats my favorite thing to do,
walk out smelling sooooo goood, but
choking everyone that comes around you,
you've become immune by then
and don't even know it, "i can't smell anything" lol
Hickory Farms is always a good gift.. my suggestion
