<p dir="auto"><strong>so totally</strong> — <em>7 years ago(December 24, 2018 04:46 AM)</em></p>
<p dir="auto">I bought gifts for 7 people and didn't spend a dime.<br />
First off, my parents sent me a set of furniture(2 chairs and a small table) from Sam's club back in Oct.  It was really cute but you had to put it together, so I never took it out of the box.  As always, they sent the receipt with it and they paid for it with cash giving me the option to return it and get the refund..which i did on Friday-$199.<br />
Second, a co worker gave me $60 in kohl's cash because i worked her shift.<br />
Third, i opened 2 Christmas gifts early, because they looked like they might be gift cards..yes, they were. One was $25 from Dick's Sports and one was $50 from Amazon.<br />
And last, my mom mailed me a $25 Visa debit card last week, she was thinking of me.<br />
With the $199 cash, i bought a gift card to Express for my bestie-$75<br />
I bought $50 worth of gifts for my mom and dad on Amazon with the Amazon gift card.<br />
With the $60 Kohl's cash, I bought a baby gift for my neice-$15, a bracelet for my other neice-$10, a gourmet popcorn tub for my neighbor for $15 and a sweater for myself $20<br />
With the rest of the cash, i bought a gift for my secret santa(a cookie maker thing ), pitched in for a gift for my manager (gift card to a pub) and bought a purse for my aunt.<br />
With the Dick's card i bought a drink cooler and an insulated coffee mug for my family gift exchange.<br />
And with the $25 Visa gift card , i bought myself gas and iced tea and a frosty from Wendy's during my shopping.</p>
