I got dragged out of my house this morning to go Christmas shopping with my mom & youngest brother (he's 5).
Mostly, she just wanted me there to pick out the clothes I wanted from her for Christmas, along with DH's and some of my other younger brother's. So now if anybody doesn't like their clothes, it's my fault.
Anyway, I actually found a nice shirt on sale at Aeropostale for DH, but then my mom decided she was getting that for him as well! I ended up with some jeans, two sweaters, and some lotions/sprays from Victoria Secret. We picked out a pair of jeans & two shirts for him as well.
There were alot of sales going on already, and it was tempting to pick a few things up along the way, but we're trying to stick to our Christmas budget pretty closely, which means finding the best deals possible.
Mom bought lunch (she always refuses to let me pay when I'm with her, unless I physically force the money into the waitress's hands), so all in all I spent absolutely nothing!
DH didn't take the lunch box thing he normally packs food in, so I'm assuming he will eat out today. We'll see what that adds up to.
Well, the rest of today will be spent hopefully getting a haircut, picking up some essentials (toilet paper, laundry soap), then heading to our hometown to see my newest baby cousin, and then to DH's sister & bro-in-law's house to watch a football game. If we have time, I'd like to take advantage of the nice weather and lime/fertilize our backyard. We've already bought the stuff, just needed a nice day to do it.
Shew, what a long day... but hopefully not a spendy one!
So many things, so little cash.
