Re: How much does xmas cost?
wow... we don't spend much at all... of course that is since money is tight... we went a bit over budget for MIL at $31 simply because we had an opportunity to buy her favorite perfume which normally isn't readily available on the island (it had been years since we had the opportunity to buy it)... for everybody else we generally spend $5-15 (usually on the lower end thanks to garage sales)... we don't shop for extended family and there are no kids so that helps... we just have the two sets of parents and 4 siblings between DH and I....we also shop for a few others... DH and i each might get something little (under $5) for our best friends.... we also don't spend much on each other... maybe $20 each?... we mostly buy each other stuff we need or treat food items we want that we don't normally get... christmas is when i fill his stocking with jalepeno jelly from safeway, which luckily has gone on sale in december the past couple years...
we definately keep it under $200....
