How to Celebrate Christmas Without Spending Much..........
It is Christmas! It's gift giving, dining, merry-making, and shopping time. Well, the common thing about this all is that it involves money. The thing that does not easily come by nor easy to hold, especially this Christmas season. This is the truth for everyone! Well, at least most of the people in the world.
Growing up poor is not a
good thing, but at least today I feel great about it. I knew the
feeling to want something and keep on trying, but just doesn't get
through it. Well, the best thing about it is that you don't care much
where you ended since you are at the bottom anyway and there is no other
way to go but up. In my years of struggling, I figured a way to
celebrate the most holy day for me without even spending much. So, how
do we celebrate Christmas without spending a penny from the savings
account?
When can you say it's Christmas? When the air is cold, Christmas decorations are hanging on the walls, tasty foods on the table, and that Santa beat is singing everywhere. We are going to get some ways on how to get these things at a minimal cost. Here are some of the most relevant tips on how to celebrate Christmas without spending much:
1. Watch the culprit, watch the store!
The store. It is where we spend our money most of the time. If you want a peanut, you'll go to the store. If you want anything, technically, the answer is the store. Rather than be a victim, choose to be a wise man beating the market strategies.
So, when go out and go to the mall, spend some time wandering around before going to what you really need to do. It is such a nice thing. It defines your being as free. What I also love about it is that it keeps you updated on the new things - technology, new designs on carpet, new place to hang out, new coffee flavors - and most importantly, the PRICES!
Yes, that is our aim. Technically, there are two trends in the market. The first is that is product is seasonal and they are only priced higher during their seasons. This includes thick jackets and sweaters for winter, flashing lights and balls for the Christmas season to name a few. The second is the hit-for-all-season-product. These are commodities that you need for the whole year and every day. Now, you have to understand and outline your needs. What you want to prepare for this Christmas? If you want some seasonal products, then, get them not during their season. Prices usually drop at least 25% and more. On the second category, you can budget your money by buying things on sale or offered as a 3 plus 1 promo, for instance. By doing that, you can get more by spending less.
2. Don't just be personal, personalized.
What defines you as a person is you alone. That also is the thing that makes gives you the upper hand this Christmas season. Everyone like gift, expensive one! Sure did. But everyone loves personalized gift. Touchy and unforgettable.
And hey, what makes it different from a nice homemade, thrifty meal? It still works the same. So grab your recipe book and find something that will not cost you much, but make everybody say 'hmmmmm'. Well, it is not Christmas without the tasty food. Then again, shop well. Food is an all-season commodity. Watch for sales.
There you are, you can definitely celebrate Christmas without spending much money.
