I don't know, they keep saying things are less expensive but that's not what I've noticed. Especially food.
Yes I've noticed..after bills nothing left.
I do Christmas VERY simple. Sent a couple cards to people who don't have computers; the others went out on line. One will arrive here for all of you on the 23rd. Yes I have a plan for inexpensive gift buying! Only got gifts for 2 people on sale! (My friend Sue and my mail man! [and their pets]). Well make it 3, Cupid has a new toy waiting. Just too many now to even think about trying to buy for....we stopped exchanging gifts years ago and don't get together like we used to. Except for my brother and his wife, we have a couple times in recent years. This year my brother is just going to stop by for a bit one day during the week. I'll go to church and am invited to my friend's Sue's house for Christmas Eve. But I've been having all these health issues so wouldn't be up for much anyway. Not sure I'll make it to my friends house, I'll see. Oh, I'm all decorated!! (Christmas dish towel out!! ha ha!!)
HUGS,
Toni

Everything on sale of course! Got all my offspring nice fluffy
blankets on sale for 1/2 price. For the nephews, they get winter hats
on sale for $4.99 each, the neices get a 2-pack of fluffy socks on
sale for $4.99, and whoever else, boxes of candy on sale for $4.99.
My son who lives with me also gets a nice pillow along with his
blanket. They were on sale buy one get one for $1.00, so I got myself
one too. Son-in-law gets a coin sorter with his blanket ($4.99, was
$19.99), and my daughter gets a pair of slippers along with her
blanket. My mom gets some extra socks along with her fuzzy socks.
Had to keep it real simple this year. I bought my Secret Santa gift
for our work party last year on clearance, a nice set of Christmas
mugs in a pretty box, and that was $5.00 on clearance,(full price
$20.00) Definitely on sale!
Sadly, as I was shopping, I noticed the sale prices were often MORE
than the regular prices were just a few years ago. Got to really be
careful with money.
