My best money saving tip is...drum roll.......start shopping on the day after Christmas- get a head start on the next year. I love to buy holiday candles, special ornaments, platters, and fragrance gift sets ( I could go on and on) and store them for the next year. I find amazing bargains the week after Christmas and then periodically through the year. I save 50-90% off the regular price and I avoid the last minute scramble to find a gift-last minute purchases are stressful for me and end up costing a lot more. I save money and gain peace of mind knowing that I am prepared.

A great money saving holiday tip that we use is using stamp pads with the letter of each of our children on them a G for Garrett and a S for Skyler, the stamp is scroll font, and instead of using labels we stamp a letter on the package. Our kids know that Santa doesn't have time to write out every boy and girls name, it adds a nice touch to their Christmas thoughts, and saves a frenzied mom on Christmas time a little extra time, and money!

I added myself to the newsletter, I'm twittering as "one6ylady" and my best money-saving tip for the holiday season is this:

My friends and I are always wanting new decorations for our yards and houses at Christmas time... but we're all on very tight budgets. So I came up with a great solution. Each year, just after Thanksgiving, we load our cars with Christmas decorations (or photos of items that are simply to big to carry in that small car, and we do a "Decoration Swap". For each item you brought in person or brought a photo of, you are given "credits" to use to "barter" for other items that others brought to the swap floor. This way, everyone gets new items to add to their selection, but nobody has to pay for anything. Once you swap it, the new person owns it, and has the option to put it up for swap next year, or keep it forever if they can't part with it. This way, our house and yard decorations appear new and different to our families and neighbors every year without draining our pockets. The bargaining gets fierce, but it's a lot of fun!

My money saving tip: If exchaning gifts with extended family start a new tradition of giving each other stockings filled with lots of goodies and set a small limit for the amount spent. We use $12 limits. We draw the name of our recipient right after Christmas dinner for the next year and then we have all year to collect goodies at clearance sales, yard sales, dollar stores, etc. We also love that the gifts have to be small enough to go into the stocking (no more cluttery items taking up space), and are usually things that are consumable like lotions, candy, etc. It makes giving and receiving fun and you never know what to expect.
