Holiday Spending Expected To Rise To $688.87 Per Person

http://247wallst.com/2010/10/19/holiday-spending-expected-to-rise-to-688-87-per-person/

 

Are you kidding? If you remove the 6 from this amount then you're more in line with my budget.  Smiley Tongue

 

 

From a BK years ago to:
EX - 9/09 pulled by lender 802
EQ - 7/06-663, 3/10-800, 10/10-813
TU - 10/10-774
You can do the same thing with hard work

i know we will be spending more than we did last year, but that's because the last 2 years, we gave everyone a bunch of starbucks stuff, since my gf worked at starbucks.  now that she doesn't, we will have to pay full prices elsewhere Smiley Sad  we are starting early though, to avoid xmas inflation of prices Smiley Tongue

I'll be inline with that amount minus the 6 also. Plus, I'm already done.

NOPE, not for me.  I may SPEND $400 TOTAL.   Heck, I forbade DH to give me a 50th birthday party.

My mom and I spent $230 on my sons gift, a gycee of Cleveland (Flats) landscape..we split it.  My husbands family doesn't *do* gifts, just a get together.  We don't exchange.  Still, the cost of that holiday food can get expensive.
