hands up... who's going shopping day after x-mas....?
so speak up...who's planning it ???
this will be a first for me...but i'm not going...NOPE.... i don't need any x-mas paper/bows/cards or anything like that (i'm good for say...the NEXT 20 YEARS!)....argh....
there are still lots of items in the gift closet for when i need something and i will just wait and if i see something throughout the year (coz lets face it...there are always going to be clearanced items somewhere, sometime...or new stuff at garage sales, thrift stores, etc)...if i see something 'on accident'..well then its meant to be for me.....
but.... i will be hitting CVS & big lots before the weekend is over to get my CLEARANCED CANDY....!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
hope those that are venturing out get lots of goodies !!!!

Not me...I shop the clearance sales after the new year starts...generally 75% off plus a half off coupon to boot! Saved a whole bunch by doing that last year for the majority of this years Christmas gifts and the whole years birthday presents.

Not I!! Have used up all my Christmas wrapping paper and I plan on being really creative!! Don't care how great the deal is - I want to stop clutter NOW!!

Not me. We have another snow storm predicted for saturday.
I will be going out tomorrow. Getting only what we need for groceries, and food for the birds so we don't run out. Also dog food. I have the list ready to go. I don't want to go to town this weekend.--------My signature--------

Will probably look around CVS. But won't buy any christmas items until they are atleast 75% off.
I am waiting for the end of season sales on clothes around the middle of january.

I don't care if Matthew McConaughey is giving out free kissing lessons, I'm not going anywhere. It's bad enough that I have to go grocery shopping on Saturday. I'm debating on waiting until Sunday and hope some of the madness has died down.

Depends on a few things:
1 - weather - supposed ice/rain storm here?
2 - if my sister & hoard of family comes to visit (the not so close sister)
3 - my mood
4 - if bf is here and wants to venture out
5 - and only if we (bf and I) can find a Wii with a good price
He bought one last week after we played it at friends xmas party and are totally hooked. He's using it for the Wii Fit and actually does it daily....he's kinda like me...needing to be more active
Plus we were told you can hook it up to the net and challenge your friends - if they have the same net capability and games etc. He lives a good # of hours away so this could be another way we can interact with each other 
But it had better be a danged good price or I'll wait for a real deal.
As for now...I'm leaning towards no
