Pair that with Thanksgiving right before it and it makes me squirm just thinking about it. You can easily cut back on food waste by just buying fewer ingredients, or meal planning to use leftovers. If you make a big turkey and have leftovers, you can use them for days afterward. Christmas comes fraught with environmental issues.

Actually I live on $30 a week and I have a family of four – a dog and my kids do activities. For the clothes and shoes for my kids, I look for sales. actually rule of thumb : shop for kids clothes during ‘off season’ that is when you find the best sales. I haven’t bought my kids new clothes in 2 years.

As my kids have grown into teenagers who eat as much as adults, I spend about $800-1000/month–this includes anything I buy at the grocery store, so it includes paper and cleaning products. Seriously, my kids claim hunger ALL.DAY.LONG. Designate one night a week as “raid the fridge’ night to get rid of leftovers.

And every year, the day AFTER Thanksgiving, I start putting up decorations. I have ornaments that date back to when I was a kid. Let’s pass a law that says we can’t start celebrating Christmas until Thanksgiving is done. Christmas is a huge deal in my house. I have more ornaments than will fit on one tree.
