So, tell me this. When we buy a $1 grocery item and use a $1 TQ does it reduce our taxable total buy $1 since we don't have a tax on food?
And yeah I know, no self control. It's hard to buy Christmas gifts too far in advance for the kids because I know they will want them, and it's so tempting to give them their gifts...
Rachael - CONGRATS on raising a smart little one there! I don't know if I missed it - but can't wait to hear your birth story! We have been missing you HUGS HUGS HUGS to you and your fam!!! Hope we see more of you when you find the time!
I skipped ahead (again) so I'm super sorry about that. Hoping to have more time to catch up again soon b/c I miss you guys.
Attached some babe pictures at the bottom since only some of you are on my FB.
More please??
Thank you again!
I am almost done christmas shopping. Yay!
teri OMG yay! So exciting! Update us when you can and enjoy that sweetie pie!
They carry a few of them at Wal-Mart.
I would have expected the tax to be on $265.50 -- the cost of the item after the 10% coupon. GCs aren't taxed so I wouldn't expect tax on them BUT I wouldn't have expected the $65 gift card amount to come off my taxable amount.
Wait... I think I figured it out. It still doesn't make sense, really, but it kinda does. Ok, the gift cards were rung up -- $50 + $15, no sales tax on those. Then, they were rung off -- but that came off as a Target Coupon. All the register know is that it's TQ -- not that it's a TQ on a non-taxable item. I guess. I think.
So, tell me this. When we buy a $1 grocery item and use a $1 TQ does it reduce our taxable total buy $1 since we don't have a tax on food?

I loathe all of the resizing it takes for SD....need to start remembering to resize a few as I load them on to the comp. and edit so I don't have to go back and do it.

ANOTHER fire truck just went blazing out as I was typing.....we're across the street. Oh my they have been loud all day today....it's giving me a headache.
Maybe I need to try the german chocolate cake.. never saw that one
What is winter carnival.. sounds interesting?
YES L2BAM, good idea wish we were all closer so we could have a 'flavor swap' of sorts
Tracy - have not tried ANY of those so definitely give reviews
I wish.
I wrapped stocking crap tonight. All. Those. Little. Presents. :thud:
Thanks. See that hooded sweatshirt. THAT is my kid's winter coat. Ugh. I finally broke down and ordered him a real jacket. We usually don't bother because it's cold for 3 days in Feb. but other than that it's not that bad. Well, the low tonight is in the teens and it's farking December.

We have always left alot of the santa gifts out.. when they were younger, most of the santa stuff was left out, but we wrapped a few gifts.. and then there were a few under the tree from "mom and dad"
Now that they gave gotten older and don't believe in santa (well accept the toddler now getting into it) we started wrapping all of the big kids gifts.. well, unless it was too big.. Like, a bike, drums, etc.. I like wrapping them because we get to enjoy the process longer. We all take turns opening and kinda spread it out over a little while.. besides, it is easier to hide gifts from them if they are wrapped.
But, this other lady told me she never wraps.. everything from santa is sitting out.. and her kids are 14 and 16, so they don't actually believe in santa. She said they had never given gifts from mom and dad. Her daughter told me "yeah, we used to think we had lame parents"
And on the coat thing.. My MIL used to be obsessed with the kids having a winter coat and she would buy them one every CHristmas.. they never wore them..unless we got a rare snow day in January or February and they wanted to play. She actually bought me a very expensive long winter coat many years ago, and I never wore it one time.. Just not a big needed thing here in GA

I, umm, also used coordinated paper under the tree so it all went together nicely. And years ago when we had several Christmas get togethers and lots of packages I would wrap my side of the family in one, his side of the family in another. Made it easy to grab what I needed for each party.
We also take turns opening too. The kids even did with their Santa stuff.

And... just out of curiosity... how many gifts do people get their kids from Santa? We usually do just 1 big gift from him and then everything else is under the tree from us. This year the kids each have 1 big gift, but they also have the pillow pets that I think I'm going to wrap.

they sit unopened.
it's a tradition - we open the gifts christmas day and then call her.
(does that make you feel guilty? i tried...

wrap the body of the present, tape, and then the extra paper hanging on each side, crimp it, and fasten in place with tape. so it looks like a christmas firecracker or hard candy/cough drop in a sweet wrapper. you can add small curly ribbons to the crimped edges to conceal the tape if you like. is super easy and super fast, fills out the stocking so it holds shape too.

i am a couple of miles away from one and still find it exhausting. used to be there was a rule - no sirens at night for fire trucks or ambulances unless there is significant traffic in your way or a big, big, big fire/major medical situation with multiple injured etc. otherwise, use lights and hurry along. but they must have gotten a new crop of guys, or some new directive from up on high, cos they.are.so.loud.now at all hours.
Wait.. you wrap stocking stuffers??? I just dump the crap in.. We do wrap alot of santa gifts though and a lady at my church told me sunday that she never had wrapped a single one of her kids gifts. I guess everyone must have their own traditions/ways.

then again, i wrap everything. i like seeing all the differently wrapped presents under the tree and i am a big believer in no peeking, no knowing, no opening before christmas morning.
last year, we went to midnight mass and returned and i still had some presents left to wrap, because i had not been left alone in days so wrapping had not happened. so at 3 am after everyone went to bed, i tiptoed around, slowly pulled things out from their hiding places, then carried everything to the car and drove the car further down the street so i wasn't visible from the windows. i had already hidden the paper in the trunk under a bunch of stuff.
i sat in the driver's seat for the next 3 hours, wrapping.
present would sit in passenger seat as i reached over and taped. rolls of wrapping paper, tissues etc on the back passenger seat. santa's little workshop was chugging away on a cold, cold, cold night.
and then i carried everything up, gingerly put under tree, curled up on couch, left on tv and fell off to (pretend) sleep, so when everyone awoke the story was i had fallen off to sleep watching tv and must have had one too many jolly holly libations.

Got my wisdom tooth pulled earlier. Now that the pain meds have kicked in I'm feeling good.
also, for those that haven't mailed SS yet, fyi staples has a promo going on $5 off any ups shipping. they have a coupon for that. not sure when q expires, but staples policy is to take store qs 7 days after expiration.
also, if you have an ebay/paypal account, you can get a significantly discounted rate through paypal for both usps and ups packages.
