The holidays are finally here but with them comes an array of financial responsibilities. For many households, the season can stretch their budget thin or even put them into debt. There’s no doubt that the modern family needs to find practical ways to make the season more economical.
This is why we bring you ‘Economic Modern Family Home for the Holidays (Part 2)’: a series of budget-friendly tips and tricks to make sure this year is still merry and bright!
1. Get creative with gift-giving: If you have a large family, finding presents that suit every individual can prove to be expensive. Why not encourage your family members to get creative with gift-giving by making personalized gifts or even homemade ones? These gifts needn’t extravagant, sometimes the thought that goes into them has a much greater value.
2. Combine dinners and events: Inviting extended family to your home for dinner can quickly become a pricey affair. Offset the costs by hosting multiple dinners and events where your guests can bring a dish to share. This will not only ensure a variety of delicious food on the table, but also keep the meal costs down.
3. Make shopping list in advance: Our final tip is to make a shopping list in advance of what you need for the holiday season. This reduces impulse purchases and keeps you focused only on the items you need. Additionally, it is important to compare prices and look for sales in order to get the most out of your budget.
