Street Talk for December 15, 2008

Question of the week: How much do you plan to shop and spend this holiday season?

"As much as possible without inconveniencing myself and going broke. I'm shopping for like half a dozen."
Jim Herb III, Security, Oneonta

"The bare minimum, I guess. I get my family presents; that's about it."
Meghan Braisted, Student, Buffalo

"I don't know, no one really wants to spend more than they have to. I'll probably be shopping for the same amount of people. One person gets a big gift and every one else a smaller one. Then I rotate each year.".
Joe Boomobots, Business Owner, Long Island

"I have no idea. Probably, honestly, $500 for $600. I shop for my two daughters, my mom and dad."
Brenda Harvey, Self-Employed, Oneonta

"It has already been spent. I shop for eight or nine people. I went a little bit overboard with my wife this year. More and more stocking stuffers."
Tom Quilty, Maintenance, Fly Creek

"I wish I could shop more, but since I'm so broke, I'll probably just look around."
Jean Pfeiffer, Student, Buffalo
