Christmas shopping dilemma

[tintinthegingertomcat]

Now ladies I have a bit of a dilemma LOL

My dad has given me a voucher to spend at Sainsburys (not petrol or kiosk). The dilemma is as follows

(a) should I use this voucher to buy things that I would normally buy ie the household stuff - washing liquid etc etc so that it saves me for the next month or so....or

(b) should I just spend the whole lot on stuff that I woul,d in the normal course of events, never be able to afford - all the fripperies that come at christmas. Choccies etc etc.

What would you do....................??????????????

Probably a bit of both - helpful aren't I.

Treats!

You will get much more enjoyment from them,  but to use it for the things you would normally buy, then the present just becomes 'normal things' where it should be something a little special that makes you smile. 

I'm sure your dad would love to see you treat yourself too, even if it all goes back to 'normal' after Christmas.

Depending on how much you have,  Maybe a large jar of nice coffee or bag of tea bags, as these are expensive and the rest on treats, I am sure that your dad would want you to spend on yourself after all it is Christmas.

Do you use beauty creams at all, may buy a more expensive one that you normally couldn't afford have a bit of a pamper.

i would certainly treat myself and then it would be more like a present instead of  being swallowed up in normal shopping

JS normally have some great sale prices after xmas

if you are going to  your local store  go now have a look around at the sort of stuff you might like ,   then decide which way to spend it

some of the smaller stores arent as good as the newer ones with the clothing sections

so if you get chance look at a couple of stores

you know, Towery is the font of all knowledge tonight, that's a great idea! that's twice tonight I agree with her, well done!

treats are the best way, after all you deserve some especially for yourself, as you try hard all year to make the money go further.

Its always the way with vouchers,,, you dont know wether to treat yourself or buy something useful or household or food that you need. I would say to buy some and some.. Please treat yourself and get a few needed items hun!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.

PAMPER YOURSELF YOU DESERVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.
