Yep, I have resisted. Did buy some super cheap gift bags though. I will have more time and money in the fall so will be bargain hunting then. I got tired of buying stuff that in the end didn't work out. I will have 4 Barbie Dolls and a Dora for the Toys for Tots next year.

I've stayed away! It's been tough but I keep reminding myself that I don't need clutter and that I need to pay off my CC's for the damage I did over Christmas too!

I'm engaged and next year I believe i'll be spending christmas with my new inlaws... and they have a very large extended family.
My fiance and I had to return something at walmart (we fixed my mom's toilet christmas morning for $5 instead of having her call a plummer the day after christmas) and we bought more parts than we needed just to be on the safe side.
While we were there, I picked up 2 rolls of christmas wrapping paper for 50% off, and got these cute christmas ornaments for $0.25 a piece. They are little snowmen that I intend to write everyones name on and give out to all my family members, and my fiance's family members for christmas as little stocking stuffers. =)
I love how his family does christmas. Each Brother (he has 4 and they are all married with kiddos) just picks one brother and they get gifts for the family, plus their parents. That way they aren't having to buy gifts for 4 other full families as well.

I have not done any post Christmas shopping. We have plenty of wrapping paper to last us many years to come.

some Christmas ornaments for my three little gc that were 75% off. Plan on getting some new clothes in the next couple weeks. Am waiting until we go to visit our bil and sil in Palm Springs where they are renting a condo for the winter. He got a amazing deal on the rent as he is a house painter so the deal was he had to repaint the whole thing inside for a huge cut in the rent. We will help some and relax and get us out of the SNOW!!

No. The Bath and Body works after Christmas sale gets me every freaking time. I just stocked up on 75 percent off shower gel and lotion, for me and for future gifts. Also those $3 classics... I love their coconut scent so much!

Walmart had their stuff 90% off last Friday so I bought a bunch of red plastic trays (32) (perfect to give cookies on), red plastic plates (29 sets of 4) and bowls (10) - All for $7.90 (plus tax). I'm set for a few years!!
