Buy your gifts and other holiday items early
You can save money before rush hours. Also, don`t be cajoled by all the sale at rush hours sometimes.The stores sometimes increase the price and then offer to give discount-off. At the end of the day, you are not really saving anything much.
Adjust the high shopping list and too much holiday buying
You cannot buy gifts for everyone. Adjust your shopping list, if the primary is too much for you.
Get your items from stores with real cutprice products
There are many stores with deceptive sales and discounts. Use the realistic ones. Know the retail prices of the items and ensure the discounts are valid discounts.
Use prepaid cards to shop during holidays
Using credit cards for holiday shopping always drives temptation to buy more you plan and need. Use prepaid cards instead. Get ones from American Express, Visa, MasterCard etc. Some of them have free shipping or coupons for no processing fees. You can use cash, not even debit cards, for offline holiday shopping.
