If you have been following my blog or following me on social media, then you know that I hate paying retail. This comes from a time when money was very tight because we went from two incomes to one PLUS an extra mouth to feed. I use to coupon like crazy and even watched my friend's daughter for a little extra pocket change just so we could make ends meat. Times were tight, especially around the holidays.
We weren't the kind of people that felt the need to go over board on gifts for our own child because she does have a lot of people in our family and close friends that will do that for us, but we also have quite a few nieces plus my own daughter and one of my nieces has a birthday in December. Plus with all the dinners we had to go to and bring a dish, little costs always seem to add up. But I have found little ways to save money that really helps in the long run whether you are saving for a special trip or a holiday.
