My driveway is very short, but with all of the snow I quickly have mounds on each side of my driveway and we can't always see when we pull out. At least a few times during the winter I have to climb on top of the snow hills and shovel them down. A snowblower would work wonders to get the snow farther away (and...would work great to shovel off our roof!). Twinsmommy - I have seen the snowblowers at the end of the season for about $100 off...but they quickly get snatched up. Matt - there is a place that offers them used, but it's a little far away. With our little echo, we are limited to buying big ticket items that are close to us. We rarely see used snowblowers for sale in the paper. I think a lot of used snowblowers stay in families. debtinseattle - leftovers, hehe. We are doing that too :) Save Sheila - we've briefly thought about moving somewhere warmer to have less snow, but we just love the area we are in too much. We'll make it through the winter with our shovels and our yooper scoopers. It would just make life a little easier with a snowblower. But we really need to get out debt down more first.

I didn't go shopping either; I have WAY too much debt that I will pay off first. I don't need anything, either. I have much more than I need, as a matter of fact. But no snowblower; we live in the South! Good for you! I didn’t go shopping either; I have WAY too much debt that I will pay off first. I don’t need anything, either.

Plus, I just cut up my cards so I CAN'T shop even if I wanted to! We are actually okay with staying in - I'm trying to make food using leftovers & drinking hot cocoa :-) Hi Tricia,

I'm sure people are 'upgrading' theirs all the time. Ever thought of buying a used snow-blower? I’m sure people are ‘upgrading’ theirs all the time.

We don't get much snow here but I used to live in Iowa..those big snow storms really are alot of work to clean up after! Glad you had a good Thanksgiving.

For one, just fighting the crowds alone isn't worth the money saved. But like you as well, no real extra cash this year to spend on anything. My wife went up to Traverse City to do some shopping with her cousins today, hopefully she doesn't spend money on anything frivolous and only the gifts we need to buy. And I too need a snowblower! This will be our first full winter at our new house that is in a big lake effect area, and the driveway is very long. Not looking forward to the first big snow, that's for sure!
