This past weekend, I continued on my quest to find great deals and bargains for my $500 Holiday Challenge. While at JC Penny's this weekend, ( JC Penny's always has great deals) I found Sterling Silver Earrings marked down 75% from $40.00 to $10.00. I went ahead and picked up 4 different pairs. These purchases completed my shopping for four individuals on my list. My grown granddaughters and my best friend's daughter.
My son-in-law is particularly hard to buy for, as I think all men are. But I did find him a novelty T-shirt that he can relate to for $6.00 marked down from $10.00. I may have to use this for his upcoming Birthday gift, but at least I will have something for him. I also picked up some Pocket T-shirts for Mr. CTS, and they were a great price at about $4.00 each. Shirts for him can be kinda expensive as I have to get shirts that are for tall men, and they always charge extra for that. The shirts were regularly $25.00 each. A great bargain!!
Also last week, I found an interesting gift for my mom. She had mentioned that she would like a "lava lamp" and at Ross they had them marked down to $9.99. I could not pass that up! It is similar to the one in the picture. Black Lava in Orange water.
Currently I have spent $120.00 and have completed shopping for at least 4 individuals on my list.

Wow. I haven't even been thinking about who we are buying for, let alone what. Way to be ahead of the pack,at this rate you won't have to go to a store in December, that is a plus.
that is so wonderful! I really should make my list & stick it in my purse - like you, I really never know what may pop up that I cna get for someone!!!
By keeping track of what I am buying on the blog, I am more aware of what I am spending and who still needs a gift and who is done.
Amazing - at this rate you'll be finished with months to spare & you'll be so CALM at Christmas while the rest of us run around like headless chickens. Bravo!!
You are doing so great! I have not even begun to buy gifts for Christmas, I'm just trying to pool together the gift cards and swagbucks! I LOVE all of the cool stuff you purchased! How awesome to be done with 4!!
I will have to be very discreet when I update that part of my challenge as my family reads my blog!
Lisa,
