So, I know I can''t be the only one who''s in for a lean Christmas/Hanukkah this year so I thought we could share ideas if anybody is interested.
I know my budget is probably way lower than most (BF and I are setting a $15 limit), but "lean" is different for everybody/budget.
What we''re doing is heading out to Marshall''s with $15 in our pocket (well, plus tax) and setting a time limit of about an hour. We''re going to browse around together and pick out presents. The rules are we can''t point out anything we''d like for ourselves, but we can say ''yay'' or ''nay'' to what the other person has picked out. I''m honestly more excited about this Christmas than I have been for the past 2 that we''ve been together because it seems like it''ll be fun instead of stressful.
So what other ideas have other PSers come up with to keep costs down?
