GCC Shopping Round Up

I can't tell you how excited my kids get on their birthday. It's not just about the presents either. On their day they get to pick all three meals...no holds barred. And my teenager has caught onto this and goes for the gold. We're talking a ham, people. It's like a food holiday around here and the countdown until Thursday is mentioned every few hours.

We splurge with a ham now and then ourselves, but I think it's worth it. I get about 6 or 7 meals out of it. Start with just plain ham and all the stuff that goes with it. Then we have, ham fried rice, ham and noodle toss (uses Ramen - cheap!), scalloped potatoes with chunks of ham in it, baked beans with ham, ham in a quiche, ham in a pasta salad, toasted ham and cheese sandwiches. The options never cease!! I allow my kids to pick the meals on their birthday, too. Amazingly, they mostly pick easy, cheap meals. Yesterday was dd's 16th bday, she wanted crepes with berries (we have chickens so cheap crepes and the berries are frozen ones we picked). Can't beat that!

I about choked when I saw the price of the ham ... they cost THAT much?? Geesh. We used to do Honey Baked Hams, but now with just a few of us we buy a little boneless one from the store.
That's cool that you do that with the kids, makes it even MORE special :)

So do you have a running budget envelope for birthdays over the year? I noticed some of your birthdays are bunched together. How much do you budget for gifts?
