With our third baby on the way, it is more important to us than ever that I soon be able to quit my job and be a stay-at-home mom, so we are trying to save as much money as we can.
We plan to implement a number of strategies this year to have a frugal Christmas.
–I won a $25 Kohl’s gift card from the Huggies Enjoy the Rides program, so we plan to use that.
–I also have points built up from a number of different websites—Swagbucks and Pampers rewards, to name a few. If we have to, we can also redeem those.
–My mom loves restaurant gift cards, and I found out that I can redeem points from my credit card to get these for free.
–I already have all my son’s presents. I bought him a combination of in good shape toys at garage sales and a few new toys after last year’s Christmas season. In addition, I bought him some Gymboree clothes on clearance last winter for this winter.
–I have taken advantage of several good or free photo book deals by following Money Saving Mom’s blog.
It is possible to have a nice (and frugal) Christmas. These are just a few strategies we are implementing to have a relaxing, enjoyable season without the high price tag.
