Give Santa a run for his money without busting your budget – buy gifts that are frugal, but not cheap.
Easy for me to say – But how about promising yourself a frugal holiday? While it’s common to associate frugal with cheap, experts say there is a big difference.
A gift has meaning behind it when there’s thought behind it, not if the gift is expensive.
Here are a few ideas that may help you out this holiday season:
1. Plan a budget
List everyone you are planning to give a gift to and assign and amount of money
2. Keep an eye on sales
Watch the store circulars and also look for deals online
3. Get the family to go frugal
Ask your family to agree on a per-person spending cap
4. Save on your spouse
Agree to a low spending limit for your sweetie
5. Give of yourself
Share with us your ideas for a frugal holiday!
