More Retail Bargains

I realize that I have been posting a lot about shopping here lately. I don't normally post much about retail shopping because I usually don't shop much, but this time of year there is Christmas shopping to do. Retailers have such great sales (to try to capture our holiday dollars) that I actually enjoy shopping this time of year. My favorite time of shopping though, is after Christmas when retailers slash those prices even further. Just remember it isn't a bargain if you don't need it. Stick to your list! It also isn't a bargain if you do not have the cash to pay for it. Don't run up that credit card debt!

With all that said, I have to tell you about my online shopping last night. I went shopping at Old Navy through Ebates. I really love Old Navy . I love their clothes and their prices are decent, though I usually only shop the sales. Online, shipping is always $5. I like that because it is simple and cheap! They are having a great sale right now. Lots of items for $5, $10 and $15. Plus if you shop online and spend $75 you get 10% off.

Last night I worked on the kids Christmas presents and I picked up a badly needed winter coat for myself. I can't go into many details about the gifts I bought, because my 8 year old reads my blog, but I got something all four needed, something practical for Vivian, (see Four for Christmas) and my winter coat. It will all be delivered to my door for $80. Ebates kicks back 3% of Old Navy purchases, so I will get a couple more bucks rebate from that.

This morning I finished shopping for the kids at Target.com, again using Ebates. The rebate is 4% there. The practical things I wanted for two of the kids were on clearance too! So now I am done with my kids. I still have a lot of work to do on the homemade things I am making, Christmas cards to finish and a few gifts to purchase for other family members. Since my side of the family is not celebrating until January, I will wait to shop for those I have left there after Christmas. Three of the four kids are going with Mamaw to her company Christmas party this afternoon. I have big plans for a productive day in relative quiet. Our church Christmas dinner is this evening. I need to get moving!
