It’s peak shopping season and many of us are also getting ready to attend or host holiday parties, which means money may be quickly shuffling out of your wallet. Since money doesn’t grow on trees, today we’ll share our best money-saving tips for this holiday season. Maybe pass out your homemade lasagna to family and friends or just say no to gifts altogether this year? While those are good, we may share even better tips today! Our long-time friend Bobbi Rebell joins Len Penzo and OG to share how they are getting through the holidays with the least amount of stress and wasted money.
Enjoy!
Our Topic: Money-saving tips for the holidays
During our conversation you’ll hear us mention these tips:
- Do a gift exchange instead of giving gifts to each person, or just say no to gifts all together
- Send memberships or subscriptions as gifts (zoo membership, cocktail making subscription)
- Make your own gifts
- Create a plan and budget before you start your holiday spending
- Adjust your travel schedule to avoid peak days
- Shop year-round
- Use credit card points to purchase gifts
