Now is when the hard part comes. Hubby and I went by walmart a few days ago... and OMH we got sucked in. And I am the first to admit it. We had a few friend gifts to get and some stocking staffers (toiletries). I had to hold back alot of self restrain from stopping myself from buying the whole store.
I have now sworn off all stores expect for a trip to the grocery store with a LIST!
But BEWARE, there are ALOT of christmas traps out ther... and even WORSE... TONS OF SHOPPERS!!!!
Not sure why, but I am quite proud that according to Dallas News
"The data underscores how aggressive discounting has been both a blessing and a curse for retailers. Since the recession, the only way to get Americans into stores has been to flash huge discount signs in front of their faces.
But the discounting has had unintended consequences. Shoppers become immune to the deals, so retailers must offer bigger discounts to keep them coming into stores. That erodes retailers' sales since shoppers aren't buying things for regular price. It also eats away at retailers' profit margins.
Still, analysts say retailers have created a cycle of constant discounting that they'll have to continue in order to attract U.S. shoppers, many of who are still dealing with stagnant wages and rising costs for things like health care."
But BEWARE, there are ALOT of christmas traps out ther... and even WORSE... TONS OF SHOPPERS!!!!Christmas is a wonderful time of year, but it is VERY smart for your relationships and families if you tell santa where your money will go, rather then wonder where it went. Along with buyers remorse on Christmas Day!
