Great Budgeting Tips for Gift Buying!
By Diana Cawfield, 2’s finance expert
- Make a list and check it twice. Create a gift list and stick to a budget for everyone on your list.
- Make DIY treats. Dress up a batch of homemade cookies or treats in a beautifully wrapped container for a delicious gift.
- Start early. You’ll save money, time and rush hour headaches by shopping ahead. (The more pressure to shop at the last minute, the more you’ll spend.)
- Avoid big-family expenses. Draw names for a one-gift purchase and set a spending limit.
- Track your spending. Use cash, or only a single credit card when you need to. Keep a tally on your receipts.
