Well Christmas is almost here, and if you’re anything like me – you haven’t done your Christmas shopping yet! (Thank goodness my wife has done most of it for me. The woman is a saint!)
If you haven’t shopped yet, be sure to check out our post on 50 frugal Christmas gifts you can buy this Christmas. You may not get the gifts in time for Christmas, but at least you’ll be getting them something good and from the heart!
Also, in case you’re planning on hitting the stores after Christmas to find some deals, be sure to check out our gift card giveaway. We’re giving away 2 $25 gift cards, one for Marshalls, and one for TJ Maxx. We’re closing in on 100 entries, so your chances of winning are still pretty good! Find some great deals at the after Christmas sales!
I was planning on using my own gift cards for these stores on Saturday and talking about how you can shop frugally at Christmas, but we ended up getting 6-7 inches of snow and were stuck in the house all weekend! I’ll try getting to the stores this week before Christmas, but I’m anticipating Marshalls and TJ Maxx will be extremely busy right before Christmas. Wish me luck, right after entering!
