Wanna save some pennies (or dollars!) this holiday season? I will teach you some of my tricks and hopefully they will help you.
1. Make a budget and stick with it. Don't buy things just because something is a good deal does not mean that you HAVE to buy it!!2. Gather coupons and be organized!
3. Consider playing "Dirty Santa" with your extended family so that you do not have to buy for everyone.
4. Make cookies for your co-workers or draw names at work so you only have to buy one gift.
5. I like to stock up on baking supplies, Chex Mix stuff and general ingredients as they go on sale.
6. Host an ornament exchange with friends.
7. Take advantage of free Christmas card deals....like the one I told you about here.
8. Don't buy ANYTHING at Hobby Lobby, Michaels, Jo-Ann's, etc. without using a coupon!
9. The BEST wrapping paper is at Hobby Lobby. Use a coupon and save 40% off! It is really cute,there is TONS on the roll, and there is a grid on the back so you always cut a straight line...love it!!
