Re: Holiday Spending... How much have u spent?

I just added it up today spent about $700 thats with 3 kids two neices & 2 nephews & my mom & her dh & my grandma & my brother & my dh & dd's bestfriend & my SIL & BIL so I would say I saved around $500 with coupons & clearances so I got tons for my money I think. The main thing was spending on my 3 girls most of thier stuff cost me actual money unlike most others in my family their gifts were mainly free!!! And I sent most of my nieces & nephews & bil money so that added up too.

I spent around 400.00 but that included some 100 for me. I do think that I am done. Also next year I am setting up a separate account for Christmas. I've never done that before so we'll see how it goes.

4 nieces and nephews = 70
2 BIL and SIL = 35
my side = 45
p and gp his 3 of em= 35
mine 5 of em = 35
cards (ink paper and mostly stamps) = 30
our kids 3 of em = 90
spouse = 30
shoeboxs 3 of 'em (mostly postage donation)= 80
baking LOTS! = 50
steak..haven't found yet budgeted 20

Total....= over 500..but I bought hardly anything this month, most of it was over the year. except for the extra food! that is all this month.

I think that is it, well he spent on me, but no idea how much (better not be much!)

About $600. We budgeted $400 and had a friend in need we gave $100 to, and decided to splurge another $100 on dh's dad, well-deserved. So ended up $600. We spread the $400 out over 3 months and the extra $200 came from windfalls anyway so no biggie.
