10 Frugal Christmas Ideas, Deals, Tips, & Resources
As much as I don’t like the term “frugal Christmas,” more years than I care to count I’ve found myself needing those two words to go together. If that’s you this year, then I hope my roundup of frugal Christmas ideas, deals, tips, and resources will be a help. And, most importantly, know that you’re not alone. A frugal Christmas doesn’t have to be stingy. It can be meaningful and even beautiful, but it’s going to take some intentional mindsets + choices to happen. Let me show you how to create a truly fabulous + frugal Christmas for yourself + your precious family. >> Jump to Tips for Keeping Gift Giving Budget Friendly, or keep reading. These are resources I’ve found, written, or created over the years. I’m not a frugal Christmas expert, but I have been around the calendar a few times! Take your time + read through these resources. They’re my top hacks for living well on a budget at the holidays. I try to find the very best prices, and update these guides every year. I can go overboard with gifting pretty easily! Here are my best tips for giving meaningful gifts without over spending: Set a cash budget. It’s easy to spend too much if you don’t have a dollar amount in mind when you hit the stores. If you’re shopping local, decide on a budget before you go shopping and only take cash with you. Shopping online is a little harder because it’s easier to over spend, but stick with that budget! Earn cash back. A huge perk of shopping online is the ability to use cash back sites. I never shop online without clicking through cash back links – I love earning gift cards + rebates throughout the year from purchases I would have made any way. Mr. Rebates + Honey are my favorite cash back sites. Shop small. I prefer small businesses over chain department stores, hands down. If I’m going to spend $50 or $100 on a gift, I’d rather spend my money at a small business, local or otherwise. Shop off season or during sales. Like anyone, I sometimes find myself scrambling for last minute gifts. But I find the best deals when I buy during sales or off season. >> Go to Articles Share it with a friend!
