We decided to get our Christmas shopping done early instead of putting it all on the debt. And still with that, we've put almost $300 on the card this month. We are now under $4,000...FINALLY! I'm loving that we are getting so dang close to the end of this balance. I read online this morning that the average credit card purchase costs 112% more than cash. We're suckers, aren't we?
Anyway - we bought a bunch of Christmas gifts last weekend. So no matter what, we at least have a huge start on our shopping. I'm looking forward to doing some fun things with the kids instead of going to the mall. I'm more than happy to avoid driving around the holiday drivers. People are crazy!!
This weekend we are watching our friend's boys for them. Trying to figure out cheap meals on a budget is difficult but then add in three growing boys into the mix and that's darn near impossible. But...I think I've done it. Spaghetti, crepes, ramen, hot dogs...certainly not well balanced, but I think we'll all survive! It will be an adventure, that's for sure!
