Gamestop has helped me stretch my holiday budget in other ways as well. I brought in all of our old video games the children have lost interest in or just plain old “beat” and was able to walk out with new games to put under the tree!

The associate was able to tell me on the spot how much they could give me for the game, I can veto or accept and was given store credit (with cash option) on the spot. They offered me a little more for store credit so I chose that and purchased the games. Quick, easy and it decluttered our game area!

Find a store near you and drop by Gamestop… soon!

    I started shopping early this year. I believe my first order was placed in May. Then I placed orders online on Thanksgiving and Black Friday. I even stayed up all night and went shopping on Black Friday. I shopped from 10pm Thanksgiving Day (Walmart) to 5pm Friday (Walmart-non supercenter). I’ve picked up a few things from Christmas lists from Amazon when the prices finally dropped and I signed up for the free Shopprunner promo and Amazon mom promo to get free shipping. This is the least amount that I spent in several years, but my tree is going to be packed. I even used Totsy to get a majority of my sons train sets when they were deeply discounted and I am so glad I did because no one has been able to touch those prices.

    Gamestop is decent for trade-ins on occasions, like when they’re having a promotion, but for the olders games they give you next to nothing for it that it’s hardly worth the trip. Selling locally is also a good alternative: might take a little more time, but you’d get a lot more most of the time. If also keep up with pre-order offers or price drops, it’s also possible to get brand new games at discounted prices without having to trade-in games; most retailer these days offer price-match or pre-order giftcards. Personally, I like to hold onto most of my games, even after they’re completed, but I can see the merit in trade-in: trying to stretch every dollar.

  208. I’m sticking to my budget and still getting my kids some of the toys that they want by shopping around and looking for the deals. I haven’t paid full price for anything yet!

  209. Mindy says

    I have been pricing out everything before I buy it. I calculate the price per item/ounce and often buy stuff off of Amazon since you don’t pay tax it is often cheaper 🙂 Also, I did all my Christmas shopping on-line this year on Cyber Monday. Got great deals, and didn’t have to spend the gas money to go to the store!
