Too Old for Gifts, But Not for Christmas
Christmas is less than three weeks away. In past years, I would have completed my shopping by now. Indeed, in past years my shopping has always been done by about the middle of October. This year presents new challenges and I don’t know what to do about them. My kids are

Bargain hunters know that the best time to start shopping for the holiday season is anytime you walk by a clearance rack, but by the middle of August much of the super reduced products are pulled from the selling floors until after Christmas. With that in mind, we decided it would be a good time to do our Holiday Shopping in July series. Our main...
Christmas often comes at a high price. Between gifts, wrapping paper, travel and parties, making Christmas happen can spell financial ruin unless you go into it with a plan. But this year can be different. With some intelligent cost-cutting and creative thinking, Christmas need not drain your wallet this year – or be any less satisfying...
It’s the same story every Christmas, isn’t it? Without fail, the same expensive “big ticket” items top seemingly everyone’s wish list.

You may be thinking thoughts like, “I never want to see the inside of a store again!” Before you swear off shopping forever (or at least for a month or two) I want you to consider one thing: if you tough it out for a little while longer you might be able to avoid this feeling...
Last minute gifts can really wreak havoc on your holiday spending. When you had plenty of time to do your shopping, you could comparison shop and take your time finding a good price for the item you want. In the eleventh hour of holiday shopping, though, time is a luxury you don’t have. How will you look after these last minute gifts without blowing...
Now that Halloween is over, the retailers have removed the gloves and stopped pretending like any other holiday matters. It’s now full speed ahead to Christmas. Usually I dread this time of year.
