If you are strapped for cash this year and worried about how you are going to get Christmas presents for your kids, don't sweat it! You can still do some great Christmas shopping at your local Thrift Stores for SO MUCH CHEAPER or online through your local newspapers. Most newspapers will have a classified section.
Go to your local thrift store and go to the toy section. Most will have lots of toys and most will have bags of small toys that you can buy. If you have a daughter that loves My Little Ponies they almost always have bags with 3 or 4 of them in it. If you have a boy that loves cars they almost always have bags full of cars. The bags at Savers usually run about $1.99. There are always lots of stuffed animals, some that are practically brand new. I have seen doll houses, kitchens, ride on toys for toddlers, etc. There is a wide selection. Take the items home and give them a good clean and your kids won't even realize where it came from.
