Does Christmas shopping get you down or the thought of it even scare you? Or does it just frustrate you that people tend to spend so much that time of year? How would you like to have some great ideas on how to save or maybe spend nothing on Christmas this year?
I have recently found a website that I am loving and one of my favorite areas so far is their forum and more specifically, the topic of "What if you can't afford Christmas?" There are members that have ideas on how to save money or even not spend any all the while, enjoying the season.
They also have a section on freebies and samples that you can request from different companies!! I've began contacting some and can't wait to start going to mailbox and feeling like it's my Christmas everyday!! :) And in the spirit of yesterday's post on helping others, if I find a sample that I may not use, I have a friend that puts together care packages to send to military serving overseas that can always use more items!!
Here's the address, this points you directly to the Christmas discussion, but definitely take a look around the whole site (there is so much there that I'm still wading through much of it): http://bit.ly/E9SoO. I wanted to note, this is a mommy's site, but anyone can roam around to get ideas!
Also, I wanted to touch on yesterday's post as someone asked why I didn't post a link there as a resource to save money. Don't get me wrong, it is a great place to save money, but I decided not to place a link due to the fact that it is also my business and I don't want anyone to think I am giving them information just to benefit myself. All the other sites I have given you, I have no relationship with other than they are places that I turn to. I would be more than happy to give the link to anyone who asks about it, but felt that it was in the best interest of my readers not to try to promote my business. I appreciate each and every one of you and want you to be able to trust that I truly am looking out for your best interest, not mine.
Have a fabulous Friday!!
