Christmas 2024! I didn't see a thread for this one so thought I would start it!

[Frugalbigmama]

I have finally started

Niece- I have picked up a few puzzles and toy things she likes on clearance (SDM and Walmart) Will pick up a few more things and write a cheque to her so she can bring it to the bank and add to her bank account So almost done her.

My boys- I have all the junk for their Christmas bag (Pistachios, pringles, sugar free drinks they like) socks and boxers for one.
On the hunt for socks and boxers and a few clothing items each and then a cheque to each and done!

My mom- I pick up food/tea items for her. Will watch for sale/deals closer to the date but will pick out a box to start adding to it. Plus I take her to the casino for a meal and give her a few $$$ to play with.

I have a few toys for my sister's grandkids.

For my friends- I will do up a little box for each. One I will have to mail so will get that sorted and ready by Nov 15th to mail out.

That is about it. We don't do gifts...usually say let go on a trip instead

The trip idea sounds fabulous!
Yes, this is about the time to see who is on the gift list, as well as which charities or gift drives to budget for.

Treated myself to a green Keurig K-mini brewer at $69.99 during recent Cdn Tire sale. Since I purchased another item bringing pretax amount over $80, earned $5 bonus CT money. Used my $5.69 ct money against chai latte pods package in transaction 2 to save on cash pymt.

Now am looking slightly enviously at the Keurig Essentials K-cafe unit with milk frother included on sale for $94.99 at Walmart. Frother retails for $79.99 separately.
At least I can put the K-mini away when not in use and I like the green colour.
