Am I NUTS?

[Shelby&Seymour]

It is the day after Christmas..... It is 7AM and I just got BACK from Walmart! LOLOL! I am one of those people that always try to get things on sale and can't resist buying my wrapping paper, ribbon, plates, napkins, cups, fancy gift boxes, stocking stuffers, gift tags, and also a few of those put-together gift baskets of candles and candle holders for next year gifts (There were these little votive snowmen that my daughters will get wrapped up next year). I evenbought a couple of games for the grandkids to play if they RV with us next summer.
I guess shopping so soon after Christmas may be a bit crazy..... but you wouldn't believe the savings!!.... I really hate paying $5 for wrapping paper that cost me 2.50 this morning... plus it wasn't busy at 6AM when they opened..... there was a great selection! ......... $385.00 of stuff...... payed $140!!
Does anyone else do this?

I used to be REALLY bad about this
Now, I have much less storage space so I've learned to hold back a little but still find myself stockpiling certain things.
GOTTA love a bargain!...especially those you know you'll use.

I know what you mean.... I have a 8 x 10 storage room in my husbands studio addition that is just for my Holiday stuff... It has an 8 ft countertop in it that I use for wrapping... keeps all the mess out of the house.... but the storage room is packed so I DO know what you mean (but that is what it is for, right?).... many storage totes and stuff hanging on hooks.... I store my wreaths & trees in there, too.... don't take them apart, just remove the ornaments and throw a sheet over them. Works like a charm!

We have had trouble with our big prelighted Christmas tree every since we bought it. Hubby sd this is the last year. We hit Target at 1 today after getting lunch at Waffle House with dtr. All Holiday stuff was 50% off. We wanted a tree we could set on our counter between living room and kitchen. Hubby knows we will always have dogs in the house, so he wants a tree off the floor. Found a set of 2 prelit trees for 20.00. One will go outside next year and the other inside. We also got a pretty blue (dh's favorite color) small tree for 4.00. Did not go to walmart, but may tomorrow.

Glad you found some good deals.... better to pay 1/2 price this year than full price next!

No you're not nuts. I like to go and buy Christmas cards and gift wrap, bows, etc. to put away for next year. That way I save a few dollars. Every little bit helps!!

My daugther is always out there the day after, me...I wish I could get that motivated. But another one of my OBSESSIONS, is to get all my Christmas stuff down and put away the day after Christmas. lol.
