Okay, so let’s not get over excited here ……
One of our large supermarkets has bags of chocolate on offer really cheaply.
I mean ……
What’s a girl to do !
Well, this girl, has bought some for herself ( obviously, I’m a chocoholic, so it’s the law ! )
However, given the lovely person that she is …..( no comments please ! ) ….she has also bought lots of bags for her friends for Christmas presents.
The fact that they are so cheap means that I can buy more of them and it makes a pretty decent present.
Also, the same supermarket has biscuits on offer too …..i only bought Oreo’s for home as myself and grandson like those.
The other biscuits are again for friends.
So, it appears that several people are going to be getting biscuit and chocolate hampers as presents this Christmas.
I feel better that I have at least made a start on the present buying.
When do you start buying for Christmas ?

That’s fantastic! I used to start in September, but then just began picking up good deals when I ran across them. Now, I get a lot of things through my reviewing, and I save up those throughout the year too. It’s been a lifesaver for me since my funds are so low.

@AmbiePam ….its great that you can pick up deals , also that you can use things you have reviewed.
I sometimes use things I’ve had free from my receipt / shopping apps.

That's the smart way to do it. A little at a time.

@traceyyjayne As a man I don’t start till December 24th. Thankfully I have only one to buy. I loathe everything about this season invented by shop keepers. I wish it could live on the moon every December. Ah well.

@xFiacre. Yes, I remember you saying it isn’t your favourite time of year.

Normally late November, but I did find some nice clearance items online at Kohl's the other day for Christmas gifts for my girlfriends

I hope it’s not that crap Cadbury stuff you’ve bought? So many people have stopped buying it, that they’ll be giving it away for free soon.
It’s still too early to be thinking about Christmas. My mother used to start buying in January, when the sales were on.
