Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 +0000 http://ptmoney.com/?p=4527#comment-6233 I started by purchasing throws that were on sale. Then I wrapped gifts with them. Before the holidays started, I changed out all my light bulbs to energy efficient ones, then I added insulation to my house. I also convinced my husband to give up bottled water. While I didn't save millions by doing these things, I saved enough money to buy the grandkids at least one item on their 'wish list'. I didn't buy anything online that didn't come with free shipping either. I am looking forward to finding more ways to save money. This is the first Christmas that I can remember that I haven't charged anything! I started by purchasing throws that were on sale. Then I wrapped gifts with them.

I also shopped around and looked for the lowest offered price with all options for other discounts before I bought. I ended up with some amazingly low prices and got my sons gifts at unheard of prices for the items, almost 90% off on almost all of them!! It did take up quite a bit of time and work looking around and finding the coupons and codes for free shipping, but it was well worth it! I use old Christmas cards to decorate and make into wrapping for the gifts, so they looked great, but it didn't cost me a penny to wrap them. I also did a swap item party with friends and neighbors. We all had new items that were unused and in mint condition, and unwanted by ourselves. So we had a party where we swapped items with each other. There were iPods, printers, video games, and so many great items that everyone ended up with gifts for their family this year that otherwise we would not have purchased!! It was GREAT. I did a lot more also, but will stop at these so you have time to actually read this. lol Happy New Year to you and yours. Keeping my fingers crossed since the flip is one item no one wants to trade or put on sale yet. :D I made sure to shop sales and used coupons and free shipping on top of the sale or clearance price to get certain gifts.

I also discovered twitter and all of the amazing giveaways and won a prize that I would not otherwise be able to afford to gift to my daughter. I also found some great discounts that were only offered via twitte followers by some merchants. All of this help to make our Christmas and still not break the bank. I feel like twitter has definitely helped me to be a very SAVVY mom this year!:DOh yeah...and i saved gift boxes and some gift bags over from last year and recyled them into this year! Reduce and reuse...helping the earth at the same time as being a Savvy Christmas shopper.ciesla504@charter.net I saved money and helped my money go further this Christmas by shopping the Dollar Stores for gift wrap, tissue paper, gift bags and even tape!

This year money has been extremely tight and I did not have to spend any money on accessories for Christmas. Also, a group of us that usually exchange gifts every year(for 9 years now) all decided instead to do a White Elephant gift exchange, that way each person only brings 1 gift instead of several.(major money saver) It was a lot of fun and we will probably continue this eash year now.
