In the store, I'm paying for them with CC but I have budgeted for the gifts and pay off the CC's at the end of each week. I like the rewards.

Our purchases were budgeted for the most part (other than a few surprises), so I made the purchases on credit (for online security) and then moved money in the same amount from our checking account to the credit card so the charge and the payment would cancel each other out. LOL! :-D
So my balance isn't going down much this month, but at least it's not going up. I feel good about that. :-D

I pay all of my bills with credit card and pay it off monthly! I like the rewards I get! I am waiting on a $100 Target gift card and a $50 Red Lobster Gift card. 2 months ago I received a $100 gift card. Definitely helped with Christmas,

I am happy to say that I went shopping for my nephews yesterday, five of them, and got out of Target for $42!

I got a Christmas bonus of one week's pay! I'll be able to fund Christmas spending with that and buy the extra groceries as well as replace my dead home computer.
I love unexpected $$. I was hoping, but couldn't count on it. Plus, Dec. is a 5 friday (my company is in construction--we pay weekly) month. That helps too.
