Decorate for the Holidays Frugally!

I wanted to share a great tip on how I Frugally Decorate for the Holidays – basically I shop after the holiday and stock up! I have probably only bought handful of my items before the actual holiday and I only pay full price if it something I have to have or if I think it will sell out when holiday stuff goes on clearance. Our first Christmas, we borrowed items and I shopped at thrift stores. Now we have so much stuff that I could decorate for Christmas three years in a row and put out all new stuff each year! That is another problem you have to watch out for, is buying too much! I also have the tendency to do that!

Some other ways to frugally decorate:

• Make handmade items
• Shop at the Dollar Store
• Take care of your items so they last every year
• Be creative
• Keep each holiday decorations organized so you actually use them and don’t buy duplicates or waste decorations
