Saving extra cash for the holidays
Filed under: In The News, Playground Bureau
I've been halfheartedly pondering my Christmas shopping list lately, thinking that perhaps it's a pretty decent time to give up my gingerbread lattes for a while but then I think, no. No, you know what? I work my butt off and I have not bought a new pair of jeans in more than a year and I no longer spend hundreds of dollars a year on fabulous pointy pumps. I totally deserve my indulgent gingerbread latte, even if giving it up means I would save $ 80.00 a month (ouch.) But, I would like some other ways to save up money for holiday shopping for my family, please.This list comes in pretty handy. Daily Brilliance has concocted thirty-six ways to save some extra holiday cash. Some are brilliant (order online, save sales tax, have a look at your cell phone plan, you're probably paying too much) and some are dubious (Don't eat your meals on paper plates. What? Who does that?) They also have the no latte advice. I'm just going to ignore that one and pick and choose the ones I like -- and hopefully have a little extra coin when I start my Christmas shopping on the 23rd. Unless I find a list with 36 tips on how to stop procrastinating.
