Going Frugal this Christmas
The Christmas holidays have already started for me.
Our offices are closed until 11 January 2010 (yayyyy).
I went into the Claremont CBD yesterday to deposit my Google cheque, but wow the shops and malls were empty!
Makes me think that retailers are in for a bleak Christmas, which could work out well for you and me come the January sales.
That’s if we can keep our cash until then!
For Christmas in my family we do a name draw and buy one gift for one adult and get something small for the little ones.
I drew my mom’s name. I saw a freshwater pearl necklace on Bidorbuy that she will like. It costs less than R100. That’s a lot less than I’ve seen in magazines.
I will also check today’s Crazy Auction for bargains.
My 5 nieces who range in ages from 1-16 years might just get money to put into a post office account.
This aftermath of the recession is a great time to learn money lessons – for adults and children.
