I prefer online shopping, but I usually prefer homemade gifts for my loved ones.

my wife went at midnight to the outlet. it was so packed that it took like 45 minutes to move less than 1/2 mile off the exit. crazy. she also said that the deals weren’t that good anyways. probably not, since outlets are already discounted heavily to begin with. since we aren’t xmas shopping, she was picking stuff up for herself that she wants on sale if she finds anything. we like the holiday’s, we just don’t celebrate it. good way to keep things debt-free for us.

I was making plans yesterday to get up at 4:00 for what I thought was a killer deal on a 46″ LCD. We’ve wanted one for years and with the sale of our home we were going take a little out to splurge on a TV. After doing some research I actually found deals online that were just as good. But then after going over our budget and what we want to do on our new home (update lighting, refinish floor, etc) We again put off the luxury of a big LCD. Well, we moved it down the list a bit until it does fit in our budget.

Thanks for the great reminder.

NCN, if you’re looking for books, I’d also suggest bookcloseouts.com – they have great deals, an incredible Thanksgiving weekend sale, and free shipping if you order over $35. I’ve bought from them several times and have always been pleased, the only issue is that because they only carry surplus books, they may not have exactly what you’re looking for. But if you’ve got flexibility and some time, they’re great (particularly for children’s books)!

Yeah. thank you for that. I hate using my debit card online as well because of security reasons. you can also use a visa gift card available at all stores such as walgreens or riteaid

Amazon is great. I use it for almost all gift purchases. Everything is easy, no having to package and mail stuff. I love it.

I did all my shopping online last year, this year I will go to a few local stores for supplies for homemade gifts. I really prefer online shopping, skipping the crowds and lines. I don’t know that shopping in the mall makes me spend more, I usually set a dollar limit per person.

I don’t buy that much at Christmas, just things for people I really care about. I enjoy doing it, it’s not a pain to me. I usually just go out to the mall, get a few ideas, then come home and find the best deal on the item online. If the item happens to be on sale black friday, and it won’t be sold out within the first hour, I may venture out in that to buy it, but otherwise, online it is.
