Coupons, coupons, coupons......from manufactor's websites like Playskool & Hasbro.

Couple that with store ad sales...I keep the ads with me in case I can get a store to price match...by the way, Target WILL PRICE MATCH with other store's ads!

For stockings I will be buying stuffers from Dollar Tree.  I have a couple types of Christmas candy so far, but for the rest I will be picking up small little toys, crayons, coloring books, & other small things.

Well, this year we are doing a dollar store Christmas. No money. BUT, the idea of Christmas is being together, not the gifts anyway, right? So my idea would be to have a dollar store Christmas!

I get stocking stuffers at the Dollar Store and I love shopping in the dollar section at Target!

I buy things at places like costco....saving money and buying in bulk to spread to all the stockings helps!
