It’s just about full-on Christmas shopping season, right? Have you started buying gifts yet? I always do Christmas gift shopping throughout the year when I stumble into clearance sales at my favorite stores. I’m not done yet though! We just drew names for our secret Santa exchange and I haven’t bought all of my kids’ gifts yet.
I’m determined not to spend a lot of money this year though, so I am preparing myself and starting out with the knowledge that I want to save money instead of spend too much of it this year.
3 Things You Should Do to Save Money on Christmas Gifts This Year
If you want to join in on my money saving ways, here are 3 things you should do to save money on Christmas gifts this year
Visit us often
Seriously, the more you visit this website, the more deals you will spot. Of course you aren’t going to save a bunch of money if you buy stuff “just because” it’s cheap, but we may post just the thing you are looking for this year, or you can get great, inexpensive ideas for those gifts that you haven’t figured out yet.
Check out Your Gift Closet
If you are like me and you shop throughout the year, make sure you do an inventory of your gift closet before you go out and shop for gifts this year. You may have stuff in there to give away already! I know I do.
Don’t use Credit Cards
Unless you are 100% sure you can pay them off right away, do not use credit cards to do your Christmas shopping. There is simply no reason to put yourself in debt for months/years to come just because you wanted to go big.
