Christmas will be coming up on us before we know it. I've been thinking of ways to save money this year on Christmas. I know for some of you this particular tips may be a little late. But you can do this next year. Many Hallmark shops and other stores have inventory clearance sales. Keep in mind who you need to buy gifts for and start looking in January for clearance sales items that fit your gift giving needs. Keep all your finds in a box in the closet. Don't forget to keep notes of what you have bought and who it is for, so you don't duplicate and buy too much for one person to the exclusion of another. If you do find good deals on several items for one person and end up with extra...save it for birthdays.

We did this back in the early spring and yesterday I got my box out, decided who I would give everything to and now I have a list of who I still need to buy for. It shouldn't take me very long to shop this year and I'll be spending a lot less!
