Tips to keep your holiday spending under control

Many people dread the arrival of January because that’s when all the holiday bills need to be paid. With a little care and planning you can stay within a budget and keep your holiday spending under control.

Here are a few tips to help you manage your holiday expenses and still have a great time:

  • Set a budget for everyone on your holiday list and stick to it.
  • Buy gift items in bulk to maximize savings.
  • Ask people what they want to avoid getting something they won’t appreciate.
  • Instead of individual gifts, bring a gift for the whole family.
  • Anticipate incidental spending needs for food, entertainment and decorations that are bound to come up.
  • Organize a gift exchange instead of giving individual presents.
