Almost credit card free Christmas shopping!!

So far we have only used our credit cards for $30.00 worth of Christmas gifts! How are all of you doing staying away from using your credit cards this year for your Christmas/Hanukkah shopping?

Next year we are hoping to not use any credit cards for the entire year!!!

Happy Holidays everyone! Hope you are working those sales, refunds and coupons!

  1. Only $30 is great. That credit card bill can be paid off when it comes.
    Not one thing this year on a credit card! I haven't been able to say that in years. The kids will make out pretty decent too. Hubby and I didn't buy for each other this year, just small stuff from th kids. It's a great feeling.

  2. Jennifer-Congrats! Christmas without regret is the best kind! We set a very low budget this year. We've never bought tons for our kids but we definetly bought less. My hubby and I actually bought a few small things for each other which we haven't really done in years. I'm trying to teach the kids that Christmas isn't about presents but about Jesus' birthday and being with family and friends and celebrating the things money can't buy. I'm hoping to start a tradition next year of doing more donating.
