This year
I'm upping my game which is my theme this year.
The last few years I've operated off of a pretty miniscule $100
Christmas budget which I've saved for at $10 a month from January through
October. This year I have decided to
double it.
I keep a
little Christmas themed envelope in my dayplanner and I am now saving
$20 a month in that envelope. With a
bigger budget I'll be able to do more, but also it means that I'll be saving
more money faster so I'll be able to start working on gifts that much
sooner. That part really excites me.
As long as
I have the funds available in my little envelope I'll be able to buy items I
find while out and about or find on sale.
I love to go "treasure hunting" in thrift stores and antique shops
and if you don't have the money to get things when you're there you're usually
out of luck.
Even at
$200 I know this is still a small budget for Christmas, but I will definitely
be able to make it work well for us and I'm so very excited with how much more
I'll be able to do this year. Yay!
Great idea!
ReplyDeleteI am super excited about it!
