2014 Christmas AA CLUB

[Anna Michele]

I went to Fotinoes and picked up 6 stockngs for 84 c each. They are a decent size snd good quality. I plan on doing a few smaller gifts next year since they all got game systems this year. I also picked up some ornaments at Walmart for 25c.

I went out on Sunday to Target and bought wrapping paper, gift boxes, gift bags, and tissue paper, all at 70% off. All stocked up for next year. I am regretting not buying some stockings for all of us, although I have thought about going to a fabric store and finding some good fabric and just making some for next year. One thing that I am finding hard is finding a SMALLish turkey. This year we had one that was 15lbs, I have done a lot bigger in the past, don't get me wrong, we love left overs in this house, but it is just still way too much. I want like a 12 pounder if there is any chance at all of finding one that. Also too during the summers we travel up north quit a bit, in years past I have made my own cranberry sauce and canned it, I am know there are places close to where we go to pick wild cranberries, I love the idea of picking/freezing a bag full and then making them into our special cranberry sauce. YUUUMMM. My family really likes horse radish as well, last year a friend of mine gave me a clump of wild horse radish from her yard and we planted it in our back yard, if we have enough this year I would like to make some homemade horse radish sauce for everyone from our own horse radish and a nice big pile of it in our cold room for the winter and our especially our Christmas celebrations. Actually two matching pretty jars one with cranberry sauce and one with horseradish would make a rather nice gift....hmmmm....

So how does everyone store their wrapping paper? We have probably 30 rolls now, but they're all just standing in an old shopvac box and aren't very neat. Any suggestions?

[MrsSunshine]

in a recycle bag in the rafters maybe.. thats where we keep ours. plus i have a container in the closet.

[bgheuchert]

There are wrapping paper specific containers that you can buy, I don't know where to get them, but I am on the look out for a couple, will let you know if and where I find one!

[thriftygranny]

Sorted through all of my Christmas things and purged what i didn't want, reorganized containers etc.it was a big job but it looks so much better. Here area few ideas for storing paper.I like the forst one that hangs from a closet ceiling for saving space but i am not sure how accessible it would be.

[Chantel]

I think those hooks might be the best idea for me. I've seen some similar ones at the dollar store, maybe I can rig something up like that.

Very ingenious ideas for gift wrap storage and to think I use a gift wrap storage box. No, I do not know where it was bought as it did belong to my sister.

I was at Superstore and picked up boxes and boxes and boxes (i didnt count) of candy canes for 10 cents a box. I give gifts to my clients each year and those will look good next year tied to their gifts!

[MrsSunshine]

my word Anne. we just donated 4 of those stools. d'oh.

[Frugalbigmama]

Bought 4 dog toy stockings. Reg $10 each on for .94 cents. Dogs are done!

[macw1960]

Totally forgot that when I was in check out at Zehr's last Saturday during no tax day I spotted some bags of bows for .50 cents. Deluxe to boot so I don't need anymore Christmas wrapping supplies.

Picked up really pretty cards at Winners, a buck a pack for 10 cards, they are BEAUTIFUL....I need to get into my stockpile room and organize all of this, there is nothing worse than unorganized supplies!! I personally think it is the key to successful stockpiling, so I better get on it today!!
