| Ease Your Christmas Grocery Budget
|
 I start grocery boxes at the end of February for the next Christmas holidays. I keep a list of things I buy regularly, then wait until they are on a super sale and stock up on them.

| Avoid Holiday Spending With Envelops
|
|
To avoid using credit cards and over spending during the holidays, I use the envelope system. I write each person or event on an envelope and every pay day I put in $5 or $10, just depends. I put the envelopes in order of importance and a certain amount.

| Save Change Throughout The Year
|
|
I have found an easy way to save money for Christmas... I never give the exact change when buying something. I put all of the loose change I have received for that day in a money jar. It really adds up fast.

Hi everyone! Don't forget to check out your credit cards that offer cash back to see how much reward money you've earned. After looking at ours today I'm happily surprised to find that I now have an extra $130.00 to spend on Christmas!

| Christmas Club Accounts
|
|
Consider opening a Christmas Club account. Some banks still offer them but they may not advertise them. You can deposit money weekly or as often as you'd like; however, the funds are NOT accessible for withdrawal. Around the first of November or mid-November, you should receive your Christmas Club check.

Here's a tip for budgeting for Christmas or any other holiday. I do this every year and it works out great. All grocery stores have gift cards, I buy them through out the year and than at Christmas, I have all my grocery money all saved up.

| Christmas List Budget Worksheet (Printable)
|
 Here is the Christmas List Budget Worksheet I like to work off. I list the names of everyone I need to get gifts for, gift ideas and how much I am able to spend on gifts. Then, once I purchase a gift, I put a check next to the person's name and note what I paid for it. Once I have finished my shopping I can compare how much I spent with how much I had budgeted.
