This year, with money the way it is, I have decided to do my christmas shopping for my daughter far more in advance than I have in past seasons. Why? Because I realize that now is the time alot of the stores are putting thier toys and other things on clearance to get ready for the upcoming holiday season. So, within the next couple of days, I will clear out my closet and begin to fill it with the bargains I find. I've seen some things at over 80% off! I know early christmas shopping is something people have done for years. But, up until now I hadn't. I just hope I can keep it all hidden until Christmas!
