Yes, you read that correctly.  I am done w/my shopping for my family and friends.  It was the most stressfree event of my life.  You see this year, I didn't get to purchase presents during the year due to the trip to Va in June and that meant I had to create a list, a budget and actually get out there and shop.  Which, btw, I really wasn't looking forward to after working at BBW for the past few weeks.  The mall has extended their hours which means I may work more and this has made it necessary, along with trying to get our decorations up earlier, to get all my shopping done quickly.  I went online today to Amazon and Sound & Spirit and purchased the last of my gifts.  Oh, what a deal I got.  At Sound & Spirit, I had earned points to purchase cds free and only pay S&H.  I ordered cds for my oldest using these points and only spent $5.98 for shipping.  I even got to purchase 3 cds for myself and got free shipping on these items.  What a bargain.  I spent a total of $26.  I found several items at Amazon for both dds and dh and got free 2 day shipping which was added bonus.  Can't tell you exactly because my family does read my blogs and I don't want to spoil the surprise but know that I got 2 popular toys for more than half their store price and have $ leftover for each dd.  I'll probably p/u some BBW products for them.  Did I mention that most of my BBW gifts were free too.  I had coupons that allowed me to get items free w/my purchase.  This allowed me to stretch my bucks further too.  I am under budget and can go get some extra things for them and a few of their friends.  That was really a nice feeling too.  To be able to bless my family and their friends.

Well, I'm off to get some sleep.  I work both jobs tomorrow and the girls want to go to church.  I'll update soon on my pantry plan ~ its been remodeled, revised and simplified.
