Family Balance Sheet

NOVEMBER 2, 2022

Our goal is to NOT put our Christmas purchases on a credit card. January will be one giant nightmare when the credit card bills start rolling in. We paid for many of our Christmas purchases on a credit card and then hustled in January 2013 to pay it off. Have a Virtual Yard Sale.

While I don’t advocate the use of credit cards with a continuing balance, we do use a credit card on many purchases and pay the balance off when the bill comes. We earn cash back on our credit card purchases and I have been saving up our points to cash them in for a $100 Lands’ End gift card.

JCPenney marks up prices by up to 30% to make sales more appealing.and make you spend more. because when the item goes on ‘sale’ , you automatically thinking you are saving money (which you are) but in reality that is the actual price of the item! That is the actual sale price.Be Smart shoppers know the truth!

I’m a long-distance cyclist, a triathlete, a wife, a mother of two, a sister, a daughter, a friend, DIY-er, and a community member! They finished around the time I was finishing high school, and then there was college – my sister’s freshman year was my senior year! Hosting garage sales & reselling items.

I love to shop garage sales. By paying college tuition at the state university with a cash back rewards credit card (and then paying the balance off before any interest charges came due!!), my sister-in-law earned enough cash to take the family to Hawaii!! Use your card for the other purchases you make as well.

I thoroughly enjoyed partaking in the craziness with my kids, sisters, and nieces. Plenty of cash and debit/credit cards. Start tracking store sales in advance. A lot of sale prices are valid through Friday, so be sure to know which ones you must grab on Black Friday and which ones can wait. Black Friday 2019.
