Tips for Smart Holiday Shopping
Plan for Holiday Spending and Stay Within Your Budget
- Set a Budget for Gifts: Decide how much you want to spend on gifts and stick to it. Consider alternatives such as homemade gifts or experiences (trips, events) to cut costs while still showing thoughtfulness.
- Limit Impulse Purchases: Avoid last-minute shopping sprees by planning ahead and sticking to your shopping list.
- Use Rewards and Discounts: Take advantage of holiday sales, rewards points, and coupons, but only if you genuinely need the items. Look for deals on the items you were already planning to buy, rather than buying extra just because it’s on sale
