[shelbylovesmelby]

How much have you spent this holiday season so far & or today?

[Joan.of.the.Arch]

Haven't spent much at all yet. I've only bought some baking supplies. Will be packing up cookies to send to out of town older relatives tomorrow. Postage will be more than the expense of baking, I suspect.

$1,000.00. I went over my budget by $300.00! Well I had to buy myself something! LOL!

[Broken Arrow]

I budgeted $150. I think I spent just a little over $100.

[Ima saver]

A few hundred. DH might want a $500 replacement saw but he can get it after christmas. Need to send a few hundred to the grandkids.

I spent about $200 and it covered gifts for all of my list, stocking stuffers, and postage for my cards (I bought the cards at 75% off last January). And a box of candy canes. I need my candy canes.

[Elgin526]

Only just started, I've spent $105 so far. My budget is $500.

Several hundred. I am still under budget though!

[miclason]

I think I can make it for just under $200....

Spent about 600$ so far. Final figure should be around 650$-700$. Had initially budgeted (more like "hoped") around 500-600$, but found some nice stuff (slaps hand). Considering that I had spent over 1 000$ the last few years, I am ok with it.

We've spent $30.84. That was to buy one gift each for my 3-year-old niece and 5-year-old nephew. That's it for Xmas presents this year, except maybe a nice bone for the dog ($5 approx).

We need to buy food for our Christmas dinner ($30 approx), and we're thinking of going to the movies on Christmas Day ($13.50), but not much else.

So, altogether we'll probably spent about $80.

I spent around 25$ for a friend gift in Morocco including shipping. Around 6$ for my aunt gift. And... around 6$ for a friend in the UK. I rarely give gift but this year I decided to give some for a few people.

[aurielle]

About $170. I budgeted $200 and I only have one more gift to buy, and wrapping paper.

[kealina]

we're about halfway done and we've spent less than $100 so we're hoping to keep it around 150...

[Snoopy2645]

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.

[Mabuisakura]

We are budgeting 300 to go shopping for everyone!

[BCHGRL]

$532 so far. Still need to get parent's gift for $250. Doesn't include DH's gift to me, don't know how much he spent since it came out of his account.

[sarah]

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.
