It's Time

Have you ever seen Steel Magnolias? I love that movie!! Well, do you remember the part where Shelby and Jackson are about to get married and Drum is still deaf from the fire crackers in the tree? And Shelby comes out and she's like "Daddy, it's time!" Drum says it again, lol, "It's TIME"! I love how he says it, it cracks me up to think about it.

Well, It's TIME ... My Christmas shopping has officially begin. I went to the Dollar Tree last night and purchased the Christmas baskets I'm going to use to put all of the baked goodies in. I spent a whopping $39 and bought 20 baskets and the bakery bags to put the food in. I was going to buy them through Oriental Trading but decided not to.

Why Oriental Trading? Because I can earn 4% into JD's college fund through UPromise.com! Yep! I'm doing ALL of my Christmas shopping through UPromise.com just so that I can save money! If you're not signed up with this, you're missing out. I have my CVS card, Ingles card and debit card hooked up with this so if I purchased certain products at Wal-Mart, I earn 1% of my purchase into that account PLUS a certain percentage of each qualified product I buy!

Some stores I'm shopping at through this site are Wal-Mart (1%), eToys (4%), JCPenney (3%), LeapFrog (3%), Disney Shopping (3%) ... There's a few other stores but those are the main ones. All of those percentage are what is going into the account for JD's fund. That's alot!

Saving Money for JD's College Fund

A friend a church told me about how I can begin saving money for JD's college fund! I must be honest, I'm a bit mad at myself for not doing this earlier, like 2 years ago! :o)

I have that. And you can also register your grocery cards from like Ingles, Kroger, Publix and CVS. I was like, WOW! So, I signed up last night and spent about an hour checking out all of the stores that are affiliated with UPromise!

Ebay, CVS, Wal-Mart, Gap, Old Navy ... and soooooooo much more. I got all excited once I realized how many stores I shop at will give me back up to 25% of the total bill. Then I got even more excited because Christmas is just 5 1/2 months away. All of the money I spend on Christmas ... shoot, I can save all kinds of money for JD's college fund.
