Is this working. I am having to reply to a post to post anything..hummm.. maybe since I am a cruising caroler I will still win!!
I always try to shop year round, that way it won’t hit my pocket book so hard. Look for good deals, especially clearance, and sometimes knowing ahead of time what family wants helps out a lot. Happy Holidays!!!
I thought I was done with my shopping… but keep finding awesome deals & end-up adding gifts below the tree.
PS ~ I’m also a Frugal Frosty!

You are a Frugal Frosty!
For you, saving money is the best gift of all. On Black Friday you are in the parking lot by 5 a.m. and you do most of your holiday shopping during major sales events.
I’m a gift giving guru!! Shopped all year and still shopping!
I’m a Gift-Giving Guru!
Well done, Guru! You have mastered the holiday shopping season. Every year you make your shopping list, check it twice, and have everything wrapped ahead of time.

I love Christmas, especially the shopping! It doesnt matter how early I start shopping, I will still be buying stuff on Christmas Eve. As a frugal frosty, I am very good at finding the deals though.
Hey, I’m a Frugal Frosty too!
i’m done with my shopping!! wooo hooo!!!! it helped that this year my husband gave me a per kid budget. usually i get them gifts and just match quality and quantity to keep it fair. having freedom to know each kid had a budget was awesome and i got them each what fit them better.we’ve got 5 little ones.
Another frugal frosty… I see a pattern

Cruising Caroler
I am a Gift Giving Guru!!! Love it!!
I love starting my Christmas Shopping early in the year…the earlier the better….Although I have to say that I wait till around November to start shopping for my 2 boys..and that is only because they change their list about a million times before sticking to something..haha….gotta love them! <3
I only shop for my kids. I ask my daughter (4yrs old) what is the one thing she wants from santa and make sure she gets it. I get my son a big gift too but he’s too young to ask for something. Then using sales coupons clearance free shkpping or whatevwr I get a few more things. Oh and I tooam a frugal frosty.
It would be so great to win this…Thank you for the opportunity to put in for this giveaway! Merry Christmas!!
i’m a frugal frosty!! try to stick to that list but always find a few extras
Gift Giving Guru! Woohoo!
I’m a Cruisin Caroller! I love giving gifts, but I also love the thrill of the hunt for a great bargain, too!!
I’m a Cruisin’ Caroler! ~”While you love the joy of giving the perfect gift, you don’t love the stress of finding the perfect gift. For you, gift giving is just one part of the holiday to conquer so the rest of the season can be enjoyed.”
I am a frugal frosty thanks to MOmmysavers!!
I am a frugal frosty too!! Love saving money but make sure I always get something they will LOVE!!! Even if that means spending a little more, its worth it!!
I’m a frugal Frosty! I love catching great sales for Christmas gifts.
I still have 3 people to buy for including my husband.
I am a gift giving guru
I just love CHRISTMAS
Mommysaver has given me ideas for frugal DIY decorations and treats. Also, I’ve used the coupon codes for online free shipping and extra % off. I do most of my shopping online with the free shipping.
Love the Holidays!
I’m a Gift-Giving Guru!
I’ve been finished shopping for a month and all the presents are wrapped and under the tree. The best deal I got was on a new Waring Pro WMK600 Double Belgian-Waffle Maker, normally $100+ and I paid $69.98 with no tax and free shipping. Oh and I also purchased a new Wii DJ Hero Bundle for $39.99 with again no tax and free shipping. <3 deals!!!
I’m a Frugal Frosty & proud of it! I mostly try to stick to my list, but if there’s a good deal out there I’m likely to make some substitutions.
I’m a Frugal Frosty! YAY….you can tell too because I went to Children’s Place today and got $100 worth of clothes for only $28.50!
I’m a gift giving guru….who knew!!
I usually try to do my Christmas shopping all through out the year, but most of it works out to be given out as Birthday Gifts instead. But hey, prepared is prepared!
I guess I’m a frugal frosty but you won’t catch me at the stores on black friday. i got some great deals on line this year.
I’m a Frugal Frosty;figured I would be!
I LOVE Mommy Savers!!! I check everyday to see what new exciting deals there are out there. I’ve taken advantage of some great deals that have been on here.
Just this morning we got 3 fleece blankets for $6.00 @ Walmart.
Whoo hoo! I’m a gift givng guru!
We still have 2 more family members to buy for this year. Pretty much done for the most part though. Now just got to get started on the Holiday baking!
I’m a Cruisin Caroller
Yep, I am a frugal frosty too. Good thing or my husband would get me
Im a Cruisin’ Caroler! SWEET!!!
You are a Cruisin’ Caroler!
I love love love the holidays and love giving and seeing everyones faces. I love getting in on deals and Im a very last minute shopper. We have 4 boys and its hard especially with my hubby working so many hrs this time of yr. Less time hiding presents also!!
Happy Holidays!!
Cruisin’ Caroler! Yup… describes me perfectly! And for the 1st time ever, this year I’m ahead of schedule and under budget! Yippee!
DONE DONE DONE!! Even have my mil done…. YAY for me!!
I’m a Frugal Frosty too.
proud frosty frugal!!! I love sale & clearance racks! it’s great to see people so happy with their gifts & me happy w/ the great deals I got.
Cruisin Caroler, that’s me!! I try to get started earlier every year but get caught up in the five birthdays between Thanksgiving and Xmas at our house, Thanksgiving, Christmas, Holiday Programs, cookie baking, and volunteering. I think I try to do too much and that’s what stresses me out. Once it’s all done I am able to look back and enjoy
I am Frugal Frosty!! I LOVE to find deals, even when it’s not Christmas!
I love finding bargains.
Frugal Frosty – no surprise! Finding an awesome deal is the best part of Christmas shopping
I am a frugal frosty too! So ready for Christmas!
I shop throughout the year looking for the best deals and the perfect presents!
I’m a cruisin caroler.
Can’t wait til Christmas!
Haha, I’m a Gift-Giving Guru. =) That was a cute survey.
I am a Gift-Giving Guru!
I am a Cruisin Caroler!!
I am a frugal frosty. Thank you Mommysavers.com for helping me get all my shopping done with great deals!! I set a budget for everyone I needed to buy for and I went a little over half of that! Not even close to what I intended to spend. I am so excited for Christmas because I got so many great deals for everyone without all the stress of it.
I’m a frugal frosty! I’ve only been a stay at home mom one year and I love it. I feel like i’m doing my part by finding great bargains on mommysavers!! Thanks guys for a frugal year!!!
I’m a Frugal Frosty!!!
I am a Crusin’ Caroler– and pretty much done with Christmas shopping. Now to tackle wrapping gifts
I love looking for the deals! I combine sales/clearance with manufacture and store coupons to get a really good deal! Merry Christmas!!
I start shopping in January and shop the sale and clearance racks all year round. If I’m near a store I go in and look around. I also use coupons, online discount codes and sale e-mails to shop. I have plastic bins where I store gifts purchased by household so I can keep up with purchases.
I always try to save for Christmas every year, but something always happens to where I need to tap into the money, then I stress at the holidays. For 2011, I decided to do something a little different. Every time I use a coupon, I have decided to set back at least half of my savings or all of my coupon savings so that when Black Friday comes I will have the money to spend on Christmas. I think it will be interesting to see how much I saved throughout the year and maybe Christmas won’t stress out next year. So far I have save a little over $100 in less than a month. I started this the day after Black Friday.
I’m a Frugal Frosty, too!!
I have purchased all of my gifts, but haven’t found the time to wrap them….yikes!! Time is ticking away, better get started!!
Mommysavers.com has been a HUGE holiday help this year! Thanks for all of the deals!!
I am a Frugal Frosty!
I think I’m almost done with shopping…but would still like to find ornaments for my kids (a yearly tradition)!
Love mommysavers!! The emails and Facebook are great the help find the best bargains!
Says I am a frugal Frosty. Don’t quite know about that. Seem to give in to some impulse buying. Have 3 different playdoh sets for my 3 yr old- they were all a good deal.
Sometimes deal-hunting does become more of a sport than a way to save money. I know I can be guilty of that from time to time!
oh no, thought I was done- a week early as usual. But forgot ornament. out to the store again.
I’m a midnight dasher, but every year I swear I am going to save for Christmas and it never happens. lol but I love sales.
wow… says i’m a cruisin caroler! That’s pretty much true…. I love the holiday’s but they can be a little stressful. You just have to remember though….Jesus is the reason for the season!!
I am a cruising caroler! I love holiday shopping, but I never stress about it! As a SAHM it gives me a chance to get out of the house so that is probably why I love it.
Though it seems that every year I buy gifts for others one of them ends up for me. Oops! That means I have go out again and shop some more!!
I’m a Gift-Giving Guru! :0) I love that this year I got all the shopping done ahead of time & was able to get in on lots of SUPER deals!!!
I’m a Frugal Frosty too! Steal looking for some deals!
I’m a gift-giving guru!!
the more frugal i am…the more i can gift to charities
I’m a frugal frosty and I’m not surprised at all:)
I’m a Cruisin’ Caroler!
Guess I should add my last name if I’m the winner! LOL. Too much on my mind…
I’m a Frugal Frosty! Mommysavers helps me be that way~thanks~
Seems as if I’m one of the few Midnight Dashers on here!
I am a frugal frosting.
I’m a Frugal Frosty and that works for me!!!
gift giving guru
I am a gift giving Guru…not sure about that. Although, I do enjoy giving gifts.
I am a Gift-Giving Guru!
I’m a frugal frosty.
Wow I’m a frugal frosty too! I love deals
I’m a frugal frosty, too. Aren’t we all, if we’re checking MommySavers.com MULTIPLE TIMES PER DAY??!!
You’re welcome!
By the way, MommySavers: Thanks for the $10 off Target women’s pjs coupon tip! I was able to spend next to NOTHING for 3 friends of mine and get them really cute gifts!
And thanks to your Amazon deals, I’ve found many of the exact things my nieces and nephews wanted for crazy low prices!
I am a last minute shopper this year. I had no choice, the bonuses don’t come til Dec 20!
Lovee to shop the day after Christmas for the sales!
Another Frugal Frosty here too! Did most of my shopping this fall when I had 30% off coupons or store cash to use up!
I am a Midnight Dasher! UGH! This has been a stressful holiday season this year! I am usually done at the beginning of December….this year, I just started 2 weeks ago!
I’m a Frugal Frosty! Happy Holidays everyone!!!! And happy shopping!
Frugal Frosty!!
I am also a frugal frosty!
I’m a cruisin caroler
Love shopping and I am happy to say I have been finished shopping for several weeks.
Probably not unusually for this group – I’m a frugal Frosty too! Wouldn’t have it any other way though. Thanks for a fun giveaway and for this site – Merry Christmas!
Frugal Frosty here!
I am a Frugal Frosty – I love cruising the deals Mommysavers posts all year long to put away gifts for Christmas. I am a single mom on a very tight budget – every single penny counts, especially for Christmas. Mommysavers deals helps me give my dd a very happy Christmas! My best deal this year was for my mom, though. She has been wanting a Foodsaver, and I was able to get one for a steal! Thanks, Mommysavers crew, for everything!
IM A FRUGAL FROSTY TOO! YAY!
I am a Gift-Giving Guru!
I am a frugal frosty too, love the holidays
I am all done shopping and have been for a while. I am just shopping best deals for next year.
You are a Midnight Dasher!
Those aren’t sleigh bells you hear, it’s the jingle of your keys as you race out to buy some of your final holiday gifts. As a dasher, you can’t get enough of the holiday rush.
I could use this to purchase for birthdays and next year.
Frugal Frosty!
This years christmas has become very stressful on everyone.
I try to be Frugal! My hubby and I have 4 kids and ttc another and we need all the savings we can get!!!
It’s also fun to be frugal!!
I love looking for new deals and showing everyone how much I have saved and what not some people can’t belive how much you would save if you only bought food that has a coupon! IT CAN BE DONE
I am a Midnight Dasher
I’m a gift giving guru
I like to think that I am.
I am a Gift-Giving Guru!
This gift card would be great to start next year’s shopping.
I’m a Frugal Frosty!
I’m a Gift-Shopping Guru…guess that’s a good thing!
Says I’m frugal but I don’t think so!So funny!
I planning on setting aside just $20 a payday for Christmas this next year. And on top of the $5 Amazon giftcards I get through Swagbucks, I should have Christmas more than taken care of next year.
I’m a Midnight Dasher
I am a frugal frosty too!! Hmm… this must mean we have learned something from you!! I do believe this is a GOOD thing!
I hate last minute shopping and try to avoid it at all costs. It always ends up being a situation where you spend more than you wanted and you buy more than you need.
With 4 small children, I have to be a frugal frosty! So, I enjoy shopping but at the same time, I like to have money to buy the necessities … like FOOD and DIAPERS!!! Which by now, I can pretty much get these at really great prices.
I am also a Frugal Frosty!
You are a Frugal Frosty!
For you, saving money is the best gift of all. On Black Friday you are in the parking lot by 5 a.m. and you do most of your holiday shopping during major sales events.
My BEST find this year was my sons LEGO IRON MAN 2 play set. It was on sale at Amazon for 9.99 and at walmart and target it is 40.00. Was I surprised when this popped up! Also, learned about Amazon Mom and free shipping. Best deals so far this year.
I am a crusin’ Caroler….which is fine by me! I know when to be frugal and what’s worth spending a bit extra on. I’m patting myself on the back this year for using my United Mileage Plus miles (19,000 worth) for gifts from FTD for my daycare providers and husband. I was wondering if I was just going to lose those miles, since I used to get them for hotels & groceries & the occasional yearly vacation flight, but that’s dropped way off with a 5 and 3 year old. And no more grocery miles from Safeway. Still pleased, though. Now if the MyPoints gift cards would get here…..
I am a Cruisin Caroler..who could really use a gift card!!
I AM A FRUGAL FROSTY!!!
I have finally finished my christmas shopping as of yesterday!! I did not break the piggy bank either!! He is still sitting pretty and not hurt at all. LOL! I couldnt have done it without mommysavers though!! What a lifesaver!!
I’m a Frugal Frosty too… no big surprise there!
I *try* to find deals all year long and hide items away for Christmas.
Mommysavers has been a huge help with finding steals! The Facebook posts are invaluable.
I am a frugal frosty!!
I’m a gift-giving guru! Love it! I love to use coupons and shop year round!!! Merry Christmas everyone!
Gift giving guru….but I need to stop spending!!!!
Frugal frosty for me…show me the deals!!
I am Frugal Frosty =P I think we all have alot in common.
I am a Frugal Frosty. It is so the truth. There is nothing I love better than a really good deal!
Frugal Frosty as well. Almost done. Still need 2 more gifts & stocking stuffers.
How many people used swagbucks via 5.00 amazon giftcards to buy gifts! I have 100.00 that I was able to use! I hope to save all mine for next year but we will see!
Also who buys toys right after Christmas that are on clearance? Target has awesome toys for cheap after Christmas!
Frugal Frosty here as well.
I’m a Frugal Frosty too
I am a gift giving guru. Budget, what budget! Thanks to mommysavers I find all the greatest deals!
i’m a frugal frosty too!!!
I am a cruisin’ caroler… I do enjoy finding bargains throughout the year as much as I can.
i am done with my shopping. Target was so pack,you couldnt even move around there.
Got to love us frugal frostys! Merry Christmas to one and all!
I’m a frugal frosty but I do this while finding what I really wanna give to my family! I can’t wait to watch them open their gifts this year!!
I’m a Cruisin Caroler!
I scored Crusin’ Caroler…whatever…about now I’m feeling like baahumbug!!! Shopping left to do and just NOT feelin’ it! ugh!
Gift Giving Guru!
Haha I’m a frugal Frosty too – of course! That’s why were all here isnt it! Happy Holidays everyone!
I am a frugal frosty!! Although there is no way I would EVER voluntarily get up before 5am!!
I still have to finish up the teachers gifts. I usually make some sort of food gift but being sick I thought it was better to buy a gift.
I have saved with mommysavers by printing out all the store coupons. I just scored some great deals using the Bath and Body works coupons. Plus they had an in-store deal, buy 3 get 3 free, so I was able to get 4 large sized items free!!
I shop year round and EVERYWHERE. Sometimes you find the perfect gift in the strangest stores.
So far my best deal was a gift for myself. I even won a mommysavers contest with my Black friday find!!
I’m a frugal frosty and I love it! I have gotten so may free or near free items this year.
I found the perfect gift for the couponista. It is a coupon cubby. http://www.cardcubby.com/catalogsearch/result/?q=coupon+cubby&x=26&y=2
I have their card cubby’s and they are great for keeping track of store rewards cards/gift cards but too small for coupons (I tried it already). NOw if I could get the coupon cubby for $5 or less I’d be real happy. Of course it is on my Christmas list to Santa!
I’m Cruisin’ Caroler! Thankfully shopping is done, all I need to now is get the kids to bed and asleep tonight 12/19 and sit with a glass of wine, watch Christmas with the Kranks and wrap the presents. Rained here today so did some cookie and fudge baking with the kids. Will finish the rest of the baking tomorrow. Getting really excited.
I’m a frugal frosty!
I rely on Mommy bloggers that scout all the deals to help me score some great finds for Christmas. I check them out everyday and jot down any great deals that I can buy. It helps make Christmas easier on the wallet.
I am almost done with my holiday shopping. I just need to get one more gift and I’m done!
not so surprising that so many of us were Frugal Frosties
I’m a frugal frosty
Frugal Frosty…
I am a Cruisin’ Caroler!!!! I love the holidays, but I do get very stressed at this time. My kids are getting harder to shop for and more expensive.
I’m a Frugal Frosty…along with the majority of everyone else that has taken this quiz.
im a gift giving guru
Frugal Frosty!!!!!
whats your best holiday deal this year?
I am a frugal frosty too!!
But I have to say, I am not ever the one up at dawn to buy things on black friday. Too crazy for me!
I’m a Frugal Frosty! I keep my eye out for gifts for Birthdays & Christmas all year long, keeping them in a special spot that I can go to when the event comes around, then buying a few other small gifts on sale at the holiday time to round the gifts off
I’m a cruisin caroler! Almost done with all my shopping except for my dad, which is always the most difficult!
Done shopping for all the presents, just gotta finish up some of the kids stockings. Lots of little things left to do before Christmas.
Always looking for a good deal!
I’m a a Gift-Giving Guru~ it’s the lists I tell you…the lists!
Wow, lots of Frugal Frostys! I’m one of them too. With that being said, I am all finished with my shopping and saved lots of money!
I am a Frugal Frosty! Love finding good deals.
I am a cruisin Caroler! I thought we were living paycheck to paycheck before, but this month marks a year since hubby has not been working (and not eligible for unemployment). So this year we’ve cut way back, made lots of gifts, shopped thoughout the year for cash flow purposes. We have not used credit cards for a whole year (no need to get further in debt!).
As i always say, if you can’t find Christmas in your heart, you won’t find it under the tree!
I’m a Frugal Frosty! Still not finished shopping though. My husband and I are going shopping tonight to try and finish up!
I am giving out some baked goods as gifts this year as well, so I try to take advantage of all the grocery coupons you have too!
Speaking of those baked goods gifts, I should probably get started on them!!
No surprise I am a Frugal Frosty!
Special thanks to mommysavers.com for helping me save!
I am a Frugal Frosty!
This frugal frosty loves to make out my list BEFORE going out and sticking by the list. As I cross off the products that I am to buy, I then add up my total to make sure I am within my budget. I usually do this pretty good…. but the key is to leave your hubby and 4 kids with the sweet grandmother. That way no one sneaks something in your buggy you dont have on the list.
