As me wife and I shop for Halloween cosutmes for our CEO we noticed something. There are Christmas items for sale already in every store. I am sure you noticed the same as I have, every year they are looking for our christmas dollars earlier and earlier. The thing is those dollars are my Halloween dollars.
So if you have read through my blog you probably have seen that our 22lb little CEO tends to get what she wants. Not that we spoil her but I am sure as in your family your little CEO gets what she wants whether it be from you or the grandparents or other family members. The key is to not go broke while still enjoying the holidays.
Here are a few tips that we have incorporated:
1) Gift Cards - Say NO. Why should I give a $50 gift card to my brother and him buy me a $50 gift card. Makes no sense, I would rather we both keep our money and just enjoy the Holiday's together
2) Online shopping - We like to take the CEO to the toy stores and see what she like to play with then find it cheaper on line. My wife just saved 33% on the little ones halloween costume by doing this.
3) Getting the word out - If you have little kids then most likely your friends have little kids. You would be amazed how many toys have been given to us or to our grandparents for the little CEO once they knew about her. We didn't ask for handouts but people just had toys that they no longer wanted around.
So at the end of the day some small adjusments can save a ton of money.
