10 tips for surviving the Christmas shopping season

1. Make a list

Christmas shopping can be a daunting task, but there are ways to make it easier. One of the best things you can do is to make a list. This will help you stay organized and make sure that you don’t forget anything.

You can even make a digital list on your computer or phone. This way, you can edit and change items on the list as you go. Christmas shopping doesn’t have to be stressful if you take some time to prepare beforehand. A little planning can go a long way.

2. Set a budget

Sadly Christmas is a time when many people overspend and go into debt. This can usually be avoided by setting a budget and sticking to it as much as possible.

When Christmas shopping, figure out how much you can afford to spend on each person. Then, stick to that amount. It’s also important to keep track of your spending by keeping all of your receipts and taking a break to add up your total. This will help you stay on budget and avoid going over your limit.

3. Shop online

In recent years, online shopping has become increasingly popular and it is a great way to make your Christmas shopping easier. Many stores offer free shipping during the holidays, which can save you time and money.

Additionally, you can often find better deals online than you can in brick-and-mortar stores. The most popular online shopping stores are Amazon, Walmart, Macy’s, Etsy, Alibris (books) & Ebay.

4. Use coupons

Christmas is a great time to use coupons to save money. You can find coupons in newspapers, magazines, and online through Groupon and similar services.

You can also sign up for email newsletters from your favorite stores to receive coupons and promo codes. Be sure to read the fine print on coupons, as some have expiration dates or restrictions.

Christmas shopping doesn’t have to be expensive. By using coupons, you can get the items you want at a fraction of the cost. So don’t forget to clip those coupons and start saving!

5. Compare prices

Christmas shopping can be a stressful experience, but it doesn’t have to be. One of the best ways to find good deals on Christmas gifts is to compare prices between different stores. By taking the time to compare prices on your phone, you can be sure that you’re getting the best deal possible on every gift.

Of course, it’s important to keep in mind that price isn’t everything. Christmas is about spending time with loved ones and celebrating the holiday season, not about spending the least amount of money possible.

But if you can find great deals on Christmas gifts, it’s one less thing to worry about during this busy time of year. So next time you’re Christmas shopping, be sure to compare prices before you buy anything. It could end up being the best decision you make all year.

6. Savings – Think outside the box

Christmas is a time when many people go overboard with their spending. If you are trying to be more conscious about your finances, there are a few things you can do to save money during Christmas. One way to save money is to buy generic brands instead of name brands. Generic brands often cost less and are just as good quality. Another way to save money is to use up your old gift cards. If you have gift cards that you haven’t used, Christmas is a great time to use them. You can also try to shop sales and take advantage of Christmas discounts. By thinking outside the box, you can save money and still have a great Christmas.

7. Shop at thrift stores and the like

Christmas can also be a time when people feel the financial pinch, especially if they are on a fixed income. Fortunately, there are ways to Christmas shop on a budget.

One option is to shop at thrift stores. Thrift stores sell second-hand items that have been donated by members of the community. This means that they often have a wide range of items for sale, including Christmas decorations, clothes, toys, and furniture. Most thrift stores are run by charities, so shopping there is also a great way to support a good cause.

Another budget-friendly option for Christmas shopping is to attend local auctions. Auctions can be a great place to find unique Christmas gifts at bargain prices. However, it is important to do your research before bidding on any items, as you may end up paying more than you intended.

8. Make your own gifts

Christmas shopping can be a hassle. Not only do you have to contend with crowds of people at the mall, but you also have to try to find the perfect gift for everyone on your list.

If you’re looking for something unique and inexpensive, consider making your own gifts this year. There are many tutorials online that can show you how to make everything from jewelry to cookies.

You can also personalize your gifts by monogramming them or adding a special message. And the best part is that homemade gifts are sure to be appreciated by even the most difficult-to-please people on your list.

So if you have some spare time this holiday season then sit down and start being creative. The kids also love getting all crafty.

9. Use cash instead of credit

Christmas is a time when many people overspend and end up in debt. One way to avoid this is to use cash instead of credit when doing your Christmas shopping. This could help you to stick to your budget and avoid overspending.

There are a few different ways to do this. You could set aside a certain amount of cash each week leading up to Christmas, or you could set a limit for yourself on how much you’re willing to spend in total.

Whatever method you choose, paying with cash can help you to stay on budget and avoid Christmas debt.

10. Reward yourself

Christmas is a great time to reward yourself for all of your hard work. Maybe buy yourself a new book or something else that you have been wanting but haven’t had the chance to get yet.

Christmas is also a great time to get together with family and friends and make some great memories. So, go out and enjoy the Christmas season! And don’t forget to treat yourself! You deserve it!
