Save Money During the Holiday Season
Holiday Gift Giving - This money saving tip is especially helpful for large families.
Although it is fun buying and receiving gifts from friends, family and co-workers, it can get very expensive. Making agreements beforehand to pick a name out of a hat and setting a limit on the amount to spend is a good method for friends and co-workers.
In a large family, make an agreement with the relatives that you will continue to buy for the children and for the adults - do the same as the office, pick a name out of the hat and decide on a limit to spend. This way, the children are not forgotten and you can spend a little more on one or two people rather than spreading yourself thin.
Bake a little extra holiday cookies, fruit cake and treats - and give the folks that you did not pick a surprise gift, too.
