I shared recently that this was the year of my first $50 Christmas. In case you missed my Cha-Ching! Christmas Club series, you can check it out below. It gives all of the steps to my savings and will help you to get started on your own savings. If you hope to begin a Cha-Ching Christmas Club fund for Christmas 2011, then now is the best time to start!
Day 1: Cha-Ching! Christmas Club: Seven Days to Saving
Day 2: Let the Prep Begin!
Day 3: Making the Most of Freebies
Day 4: Show Me the Money!
Day 5: Saving with Surveys
Day 6: Shopping Strategies
Day 7: Let the Planning Begin!
Remember to set a goal that is reasonable for you. It’s not about achieving a $50 Christmas; it’s about using creative resources to stretch your dollars. Set a goal that you think is feasible and then if you surpass it, even better!
I’d love if it you’d leave a comment to share your stories on how you saved money on Christmas this year!
I have to admit that I didn’t do so well this Christmas. But I am going to start now for next Christmas 2011. I tried to download your savings guide I hope it did download. Thanks for all the info.
I hit up Black Friday deals. I was able to get my hubby wrenches that he has been drooling over for months now for more than half off.
