I’m not a money-saving expert, but I just thought of sharing this simple yet effective tip to save some cash for Christmas. If you have old clothes and stuff that you no longer need, you can turn them into instant cash by conducting a yard sale. This way, you will no longer have to spend your bonus or 13th month pay for less important items. You’ll save and earn extra cash by selling old stuff and get rid of the clutter in your closet.

But if you want to do something extraordinary for other people this Christmas, you can give your yard sale proceeds to charities. Or you may also conduct your own gift-giving activity for an orphanage with your friends.

Christmas sale

So many items to shop this Christmas, so little time and funds, too. 🙁

Some of my friends especially those who just received their 13th month bonus are into Mega shopping mode these days. They have money to spend for anything they need, but my friends are practical shoppers too. They run agog finding the best deals in town. Yes, they also look out for sales. They line up if need be to secure a nice spot before the department store opens for sale shoppers. I knew about their practices when it comes to shopping because I was once like them when I still have a regular day job. I don’t buy on impulse though, because I make sure that I have allotted for food and other necessities in the kitchen first. And during those days that my kids were a lot younger, I make sure I have purchased enough stock of diapers and milk before I bought something for myself or my husband.

I’m sure not all have completed their Christmas list yet, yes? If you are always online looking for discounts and coupons, you can bookmark this site http://www.mega.co.uk to your list of favorite coupon sites.

What to Give Little Kids this Christmas

I can smell the cold gentle breeze signaling that Christmas cannot be far behind. A few weeks from now all hell will break lose in the malls and shopping centers where mums and dads will flock and elbow each other to get Christmas presents for their little ones. Knowing what their children might like, items like clothes, books and toys are at the top of their lists. Some kids might prefer latest gadgets and high-tech toys and some parents who do not have enough to get them wii sports resort to other alternatives that would certainly please the little recipients nonetheless.
