About $75 over, not including wrapping paper and those kinds of things.

I went over by about $75. We ended up getting presents from people we were not expecting and so I felt like we needed to reciprocate the gifts.

If I had a budget I'm sure I went over it. That's why I don't even make one. Chat Icon

We don't really have a budget per se, but we definitely spent more than we should have! It adds up!

Ditto.
I spend a lot- every year.
I'm way too disorganzied for a budget though.
Plus I'd never stick to it.
Too restricitive for me!
