Clever Posts Of The Week

Clever Posts Of The Week – December 5th

December 5, 2014

On Monday, I unveiled a challenge to myself in which I am going to try to purchase all my Christmas gifts online and give updates in these Friday posts.  I’m happy to report that I haven’t purchased anything in a physical store.  Of course, I haven’t purchased anything online either.  I’m still devising my master shopping plan, and will be getting started soon.  Probably while I watch football on Sunday!

Also, if you hadn’t noticed, I’ve got a give away going ($500 gift card!)  in partnership with Chippmunk.  If you haven’t entered yet, hop on over to the post from Monday and get ‘er done.  Good luck!

    Good luck with the shopping challenge! I’ll be buying all (or almost all) of our gifts online too. Better deals and no hassling with crowds or the time & expense to get to the store!
