Thanks so much for being the first person to jump onto my carnival -- I was so excited when I saw your link!!<br /><br />We don't use the envelope system, but I am fastidious about entering our finances onto the computer (even cash. Even 97 cents for gas station coffee.) We have one savings account that holds our "envelopes" of money in the bank, saving for medical expenses, Christmas, yearly insurance payments, etc. I didn't think of talking about that in my post, so I'm glad you addressed the great idea!Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11984051442829190188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8006031035787773344.post-73283814508062733162010-11-03T13:23:07.093-05:002010-11-03T13:23:07.093-05:00Ah, Kim, at last I have found my Christmas shoppin...Ah, Kim, at last I have found my Christmas shopping twin! I could have written that post.<br /><br />I have to second ALL of your recommendations. Money stress can put a damper on the holidays, but when you plan ahead and save, it adds joy to the giving.<br /><br />P.S. I ordered almost half of my gifts from Amazon and got FREE shipping.

Not one we'll employ since we don't plan to do any significant Christmas shopping, but for families and extended families, I imagine it would work well, but only with discipline! :)JLIhttp://bluuhippo.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
