Christmas shopping at Walmart, Target, and Toys R Us. Now I'm done!

How much have you spent on Christmas shopping so far?

 What have you bought?

I have 4 kids (plus two angel tree kids) and bought my dd Disney Princess Little People castle, a Disney Princess wagon, a ball, dream light, a pillow pet, a special mommy/daughter necklace (this was just bought recently)and a doll with little accessories, plus some stocking stuffers.. Bought my boys the laser pegs from Target, Monster Fighter Legos, Halo toys, a bike helmet for my oldest, a tablet for my 7 year old and a tablet for my 4 year old. Oh, also got the Skylanders Giants (all of them) and all the new Skylanders figures. Skylanders pillows and sheet sets. Soccer gear for my oldest, Avengers toys, and a giant Iron Man doll (stuffed). Books, puzzles, winter boots, winter pants, winter coats and gloves, and pajamas for my two youngest kids.

Just spent another $500 on a Dyson vacuum cleaner, a new TV, and Nintendo 3DS game

I've spent $400 for both boys. I'm going to finish shopping on Black Friday and probably spend somewhere around $100. I can't wait to be done shopping. This is the earliest I've ever finished! Yay me! Lol.

Nothing. My daughter is only 10 weeks, although with it technically being her first Christmas we'll probably get her a playmat. & my SS is simple: Transformers & Spider-Man, so probably an Optimus Prime since I got him his beloved Bumblebee last year & a Spider-Man mask.

Probably 700.00, but that includes all the supplies for the kids' projects to complete gifts, the supplies for the handmade gifts I am giving, plus all 4 kids. I still have a couple of things to pick up and my nieces and nephews to do. We try to stay under 1500.00 to 2000.00 total for everyone, including extended family and each other. This year we will definitely make it.


 I'm excited to buy for the other angel tree kids we picked out, and I have a couple of families on here I'm going to be helping. Overall, I think we'll be spending about 2500 I want to make sure I help others too. :)


I forgot about the Angel Tree at the school...I may still make it under budget....it depends on what is on there and what I can get on sale as well. I am planning to go to Old Navy Thanksgiving night and get the fleece jackets for donation (5.00 fleece yeah!).


 Gotta love those amazing deals! I like the $4 pajamas from walmart. I'm grabbing those and the jeans up this black friday. Then I'll be finished (I hope) lol good luck on finding more great deals!

 We have spent about $200 so far. I have a $200 budget for each kid. They dont need anymore than that.

So far I've only bought 2 things. Things have been crazy here. Gonna go into overdrive next week. We usually spend $2,000-$3,000 on each kid. This year dd wants a Mac Pro so she will be on the higher end. Ds just wants a new TV. His is on its way out. We'll get him other stuff too but he probably won't come close to dds $$ amount.

We've finished our Christmas shopping for the most part. I bought my DD a doll stroller but I'm nowhere near done yet for her :) Or my husband.
