I just got back from Toys 'R' Us. (Barb made me go)
We bought two things the size of a CD music disc.
$78 dollars? You gotta be friggen kidding me!
What ever happened to a football, or a baseball and bat or a truck or toy train for Xmas?
I ain't rich by any stretch, but the toy stores think I am 
OK, I'm done whining now because Barb said "Welcome to the real world" 
The Grinch,
Who had Christmas stolen from him!

oh now my hubby has a partner on crime, another Grinch!
I order the toys online and he does not want to know how much I paid for the things it also saves time and you don't have to fight in the parking lot .
He just went crazy because I bought a $20 inflatable penguin that my daughter saw at a flier from Dollar general, the thing is huge (8ft) and $20 box is cheap for something that big, but he still complained .
It looks good in the front yard

Another Grinch.....
I've been paying attention over the years (since my Buddy was little) and have noticed that once the gifts are all opened - the kids normally play with the BOXES!!!
So, when my little Caleb gets bored, I drive by a fast food place, go to the dumpster and pick up a BOX, thow it in the back of the truck and WALLA -- a new toy!!!
This Christmas I have several wrapped BOXES that I know he will LOVE. And they cost me NOTHING except a drive by. I was the only one shopping THERE! (Well except my neighbor who thought it was a great idea also.)
Hugs BD

Just wait until they become teenagers!! The sports/toys/clothes become more expensive 
I hear ya Barb!! We lived in the city when my son was young. There was an appliance store right across the alley. All the neighborhood kids had a blast building and playing with all the boxes they would drag into my backyard. When they were done, the boxes went back to the store into their dumpster.
