The holidays are wonderful but can get pricey fast. Here are some tipsto stay on budget while keeping the fun:1. Set a Spending Limit (and Stick to It!)Decide how much you’re okay spending overall. Then break it down—gifts, food, decorations, travel—so you know what’s what. 2. Make a Gift List (and Check It Twice!)Write down everyone you want to buy for and set a price range foreach. Don’t get sucked into “just one more thing” shopping.3. Shop Smart and EarlyIf you can, start shopping early to spread out the spending. Sales likeBlack Friday and Cyber Monday are great, but don’t forget local shopsfor unique gifts and deals. 4. DIY It UpHomemade gifts can be way more meaningful than store-bought ones.Think cookies, candles, or photo gifts—they’re personal and budget-friendly.5. Suggest a Gift ExchangeFor big families or friend groups, suggest Secret Santa or WhiteElephant. Everyone gets a gift, and you don’t have to buy for 20 people.Win-win!H O L I D A Y B U D G E T I N G T I P S
