Well, sorry for the pun, but I must add my two cents in here!
My father always told me that a penny saved is a penny earned. And so, obeying by that rule, I am a big bargain shopper, even for our vacations. By booking our flight and accomodations seperately, I saved a bunch. And I got on here and found out about buying tickets a little less at hotwiresavings club. And what I save on my gift certificates I plan on getting for people for Christmas to make my shopping much less stressful this year, will be spent at Disney.
Also, don't forget if you don't want to do a yard sale, if you can find a good consignment shop nearby, that is in many cases much less hassle and many times you can get more for your items even if you do have to share the profit. I drop my items off at a store close to my work. I just took many items and am going through more so when I go to see what I have sold at the beginning of Dec. I hope it will be a nice surprise! I plan on rolling all of this change around here. And in fact, I think I will let the kids help and let them earn some of the coin rolls for Disney Dollars!
I agree about vacations and spending time together as a family are so important. Some people would not agree, but when that new car finally breaks down and you need another one, those memories will remain in the minds of all of us forever.
