Holiday Credit Savings

There are some really excellent bargains around the holidays, to entice Christmas shoppers to buy more stuff, bigger stuff, and feel like they got a truly good deal on it. My problem is that many of these deals seem to hard to pass up on for clothes etc. for myself.

For instance, JCPenney’s offered a $10 off coupon if you purchased $50 or more, and $15 off if you purchased $75 or more, and since I only had one or two people I could actually buy the clothes and other items this coupon could be applied to, I ended up using the coupon on myself, all but for one present! likewise with some of my favorite stores for clothes, like Express and Limited.

They sent me coupons for $30 off a $100 order or more, and how could I pass up this great bargain? Of course, it’s Christmas sillies, but how could I not buy those clothes, when I was sure to buy those same clothes later in the year, only to pay the extra money for them? I also was enticed into opening a new store charge card for Express, since they were offering a $25 gift card as well as %15 off your current order.

Talk about a great deal! Any other time, I would have had an iron will not to pick up a new credit card, but throw a couple freebees in there, and my iron will turned to consumerism!
