This should cover my tentative 2019 Christmas budget that I based on what we spent in 2018. I’m challenging myself to find the cash outside of our budget. Also, in February, I received a check of $45 from a family member who was reimbursing us from a group gift that we took care of over the holidays. My monthly goal is $100.

For many, the end of the year holiday shopping frenzy can override our saner, more thrifty selves. What should you wait to buy until after the holidays? Obviously, anything with decorations related to the holidays will most likely be reduced in price right after Christmas. Most claimed that the holiday sales were of no-name TVs.

My favorite thrift store has a section dedicated to seasonal items. The number and variety of Halloween items in this thrift store surprised me. How this holiday has changed since I was a child in the 1950’s, and even since I raised my own sons in the 1970’s/80’s!

While I like to shop at thrift stores, I have a hard time finding TALL length jeans for my 5’10 frame and I was in need of new jeans. Three new pairs of shoes seems excessive, but I will get a lot of wear out of them and the price was well within my budget. DSW might be my new favorite place to find shoes!

I am also extremely budget challenged right now, so I had to scope out a really good deal. I plan on wearing it just like this to at least two more parties or events over the holiday season because the combo of the jacket, necklace and dress is just perfect! I love the way that pendant pops against the colors of the dress.
