Christmas is a time when we try to please our loved ones and friends with the best gifts, which is a big interference to our budget every year. Even though you’re trying to buy as much as possible, always keep in mind that you’ll need finances after Christmas, so keep some in stock. We have prepared some tips for you to prevent Christmas holidays from destroying your bank account.
Learn to plan
Before you go into the very thoughtless and often headless shopping of any gifts or goodies, first make a careful list or rather plan what you buy. Start by checking your account status to know how much money you will spend on gifts after deducting all your normal spending. According to this, you can plan some purchases.
Shopping over the Internet
In addition to regular purchases, online gift scanning is cheaper and more practical. You can not only find the products, but also find the store where the product is the cheapest. Another advantage of online shopping is reviews from people who have already bought your product and have experience with it. When buying online, just pick what you buy, add to your cart and complete your purchase. You do not have to go anywhere and your presents come home. When you pay for a card online, you will save on a cash on delivery.
Food in action
In terms of food, it always pays off when you watch weekly events and then go shopping. Some people do not want to buy anything, but in the final you can save up to 30% for the purchase of food and beverages. In general, you can spend about 8 to 10 thousand crowns for a normal family celebration. If you buy the same items in promotional offers, you can save 2 to 3 thousand crowns.
Learn to produce
The cheapest way to save money is to make Christmas gifts and decorations manually. It will take you some time but save you a lot of money. Make homemade pâté, bake a handbag or sweater, cook gingerbread decorations on the tree, prepare sweets and various treats, then wrap and decorate with ribbon or ribbon. You can make and donate, in essence, whatever you can do yourself.
No loans
In recent years, people have been too taught to borrow at various banks and non-banking institutions at Christmas. If you are not going to buy a really big gift that would serve the entire family including you, then forget about borrowing money. To brace yourself for a Christmas gift is nonsense. Perhaps you will be pleased to offer your loved ones with nice presents, but after Christmas there will be a hard reality in the form of repayments. For this reason, it is better to rent such things.
