Christmas is coming!
Christmas is just around the corner! If the idea of shopping is already stressing you out, here are some tips (and more to come several times a week from now until December) to help you save money and make the most of your budget.
TIP 1
Plan ahead. If you are two days away from a holiday with nothing planned, human nature says that you will be more likely to load up on somewhat random gifts for your list. By not planning in advance, you also make it more likely you will spend too much.
TIP 2
Get creative with at-home coupons. Get into the at-home “gift card” tradition with homemade coupons. Kids can give parents coupons for prized commodities like “No whining” or “No begging.” Parents can offer up unexpected treats kids love, like “Make cookies together,” “Get out of one punishment free” or “Choose candy for movie night.”
