Does anyone stock up on Christmas gifts year round? I'm thinking I may need to start doing this if I can catch some good sales. Seems like every year around this time, we are broke and have to struggle to gather up something small at the last minute for everyone.
I did start late september this year. It has helped a lot. I have the kids all done and dfs parents.
I didn't buy them all year round this year but I did start at the end of August or beginning of September and used a little bit from each paycheck. My husband's old job gave everyone a profit sharing check every December so I never tried buying things so early before but this year he doesn't have that. It's helped a lot! I was actually able to afford to buy the American Girl doll my oldest has been wanting which I never expected. :-)
I have good intentions of doing that but I usually don't. If I find a cute outfit on sale that will fit during the holidays I will grab it or something on clearance I will pick it up but it doesn't add up to much.
