Christmas Money Saving Plan

We suffered horrible Subprime Crisis these three years. Not only the people of United States lived a hard life, but also the people around worldwide were influenced a lot. The higher inflation came before we recovered from the financial crisis. We found that we could not afford what we wanted like before. We could not find pleased jobs. We needed do more, but get less. How could we spend a luxurious Christmas this year like before?

Thanksgiving Day and Christmas are coming very soon. We had spent a lot of money on Halloween. How could we afford what we need for Thanksgiving Day? We had borrowed thousands dollars from the bank. We could not afford what the credit cards charge. So we need a money saving plan to spend the luxurious Christmas with less money.

Firstly, make a perfect plan for the coming festivals. Make a list to find out what we need to buy. You also could find out some useful things from the decorations we used last year. And we could DIY the used decoration as a new one. It is a useful way for us to save money.

Then find the cheapest store to buy what we need. We could find there are dozens of stores offer lower discount recently. We may make a comparison to find which the cheapest place is. Go to the local stores or shopping centre to know the price range. Then search on the Internet to find if there is a cheaper one. Keep in mind that the free shipping service could save a big money. Buy more things in one online store would get a lower discount.

Or we could find a group people to go shopping together. We could but what we need with wholesale price from the supplier. It is quite easy to find such people with money saving plan. We could find some from our friends, colleagues, neighbors and so on. We also could find some from the popular forums. We may get better money saving plan from others.

Clearance Sale product is a good choice for us to buy for the festivals. There are thousands of clearance sale products for us to choose. Obviously, it is quite cheaper than what we bought before. We could find the wonderful gifts from them.

We may prepare amounts of food for the coming festivals. Try to buy them earlier before the coming festivals. Try to buy some food which is easy to store when it is on sale. Some food even could be stored for a whole winter without rot. The goods are always cheaper than that of the higher demand coming. You may store enough food for the coming festival or daily life.

We paid a lot of money on buying gifts for our families and friends. It is a good way to help both to save money if we could find what gifts are needed. Try to make sure what are the best gifts for our families or friends before buying. And we may do the gifts ourselves for our friends if possible. It is more meaningful to make a gift for the friend than that of buying one. It is also a good opportunity to teach our children to do some handicrafts.

The last but not the least tip for us to save money is to invite friends to eat dinner at home. Sometimes we may invite friends to have dinner in the restaurant. In fact, it helps us to promote the friendship when treating friends at home. It makes them feel at home. And they may think the friendship is much closer when having dinner at home. And it helps you know more about each other.
