Funds available in my checking account, paid with debit card run as credit. That way I get credit card points for using my debit card, which I can redeem for cash back.

We only use cash. The first of the year for dh slows down a lot for work so I dont want/need a cc maxed out on gifts just in case we need it for something else.
I have done quite a bit of online shopping but I have used my debit card for those so it is paid for right away.

Our Christmas spending this year has been credit, cash and trades.

I'm thankfully a sewing mama and am able to find other WAHM to trade my services and products for theirs!

The only thing I've had to charge this year was my hefty bill for felt to make the kids some big card table playhouses and to pay for a Wii & Wii Fit that a friend of mine was selling used at an amazing deal.

Now thankfully I have already earned ALL that money back and have dumped the money onto the card as a payment for what I charged

Otherwise most of our Christmas spending is CASH/Paypal or Trading!

OH and this year I'm not 100% handmade as I've been the past 3 years. I'm actually doing handmade and used!

We will use cash though where the cash is coming from is still in question!
