CAITLIN asked:

I was just reading an article about retailers feeling the pinch this holiday season. It said that rising fuel costs were causing shoppers to down grade to discount stores or buy less so retailers were decreasing projections of sales.

I know it’s still early but has anybody decided to limit their budget this year because of rising costs? Have you decided to shop at discounters to get the most bang for your buck? How many people are on your list and what is your total budget?

I have 11 people on my list (all adults mostly family and two close friends). I’m almost done shopping. I shopped mostly online but I did shop in some brick and mortar stores but nothing that I’d consider to be a discounter like Wal-Mart or KMart. I used special sales or promotions when available. My budget is about $1000-$1200.
By the way the $1000-$1200 is the most I’ve ever budgeted for. I didn’t realize that there was a “crunch” going on but besides gas prices, I haven’t really felt it.
