On Christmas Shopping
If only we could diet from shopping. We spent too much on Christmas gifts lately that I had to get some from our Disneyland budget. This is definitely going overboard and I really need to stop. It’s not like there’s a Fastin version for shopaholic people like myself. But looking at the bright side, most of the stuff we bought we’re not only on sale but exactly what our friends and relatives would love. So in the end, we still managed to save money. Christmas comes only once a year after all.
Some tips when shopping:
1. Check out the October and November sales. Most toy stores hold a 50-70% off / warehouse sales on these months.
2. No matter what it is you’re buying online whether you’re just registering for a domain, make sure to check out websites offering free coupon codes. I got a $4 off just now when I renewed me domain name with GoDaddy.
3. Use cash if you can so you’ll know when you’re spending too much. Credit cards can give us a sense of having too much money when in reality, our debts are just piling up.
4. Just because it’s on sale doesn’t mean it’s a good buy. All the items I purchased as gifts are things that I wouldn’t be able to afford unless they are on sale. I don’t buy things that I don’t need and don’t even remotely like just because it’s cheap.
5. This one never fails. Make a list and stick to it. My husband tends to shop for people who’s not on the list so I always write the list with him to make sure that we haven’t forgotten anyone.
