Take a look at your calendar, the countdown to Christmas has begun! Black Friday shopping probably has many of you off to a good start on your gift buying, so to make the rest of it go more smoothly and ensure you don't blow the budget this holiday season, I suggest you check out this new BlackBerry app, Christmas Budget.
In the mad dash during this time of year, some people may lose their heads. They may also lose themselves in a spending frenzy. Your budget may be blown and Uncle Ned will end up getting a cheap pair of socks…again. If I could briefly resurrect an old Canadian Tire slogan, the app will help you “Give like Santa, save like Scrooge”. You can manage shopping lists for individuals and groups, and make certain you stay within your budget. Of course I don’t mind if you want to splurge a bit on my gift.
Features
- Countdown feature
- Password
- Create custom groups
- Set and track budgets for individual groups
The application can even track what you need to buy, or wrap, or even send. To add to the holiday chaos, the Christmas Budget includes a Christmas countdown feature. I’d rather have a chocolate Advent calendar to remind me, thank you. You can pick up Christmas Budget for $2.99 from the CrackBerry App Store.

Keep your money from burning a ho ho hole in your pocket with Christmas Budget
I'd sure like to have his/her budget!
i dont know about that, id rather be the one getting one of his gifts
By the time I bought the app, I'd be darned near over budget!
I would like to be Sam! Or be the person who has $8000 to spend on presents
An $8,000 budget for presents???? Bad example! Whatever happened to coming together with family and friends...Christmas has long been commercialized...sad.
Yeah, $8,000 Christmas budget, that must be nice! I was all set to get this until I saw that it wasn't a free app. How are you going to tell us to "ensure we don't blow our budget" & "save like Scrooge" & then charge for the app? I know, I know it's only $2.99 but the list app that I already have was FREE & all I have to do is make a shopping list & call it "Christmas." Go ahead & call me cheap but unlike the developer I don't have $8,000 to spend on Christmas presents so why spend $$ unnecessarily, ESPECIALLY around Christmas time?? Just my thoughts
^ This .........
Well, I kinda WANT my money to burn a hole in my pocket, that means it's not going anywhere.
I.E., the title's use of that expression is the exact opposite of how it's intended.
LOL, my budget for Christmas is $500 and that includes providing Christmas dinner for the family. Gone are the years of big spending and charging the credit cards...we downsized the Holidays about ten years ago when it was starting to get out of hand and put our priorities on other things.
Maybe the developer is hoping 250 people buy the app so they can have that $8000 budget! Hahaha.
I need to budget the $2.99 to get the app.....................
