Fall Savings for you.
Five ways to save on your gifts for the holidays.
1. Use cash that you already have in rewards points from your credit cards.
2. If you have a big list - why not take a family picture (we talked about pictures on one of our recent posts) and give copies with a nice frame.
At Walgreens.com found a picture frame for less than 3 bucks. Amazon had one for less than 2 bucks.
Add a nice note - or write a good ‘what happened in our family last year’note and you have an excellent gift.
Next year you can send them another picture and a note and they can use the same frame.
3. If you are crafty - then craft some of your gifts.
4. Buy a bunch of small items (from the Dollar Store). Make gift baskets or boxes. You can find some cheap boxes / bags here.

5. Mutually decide not to buy / exhange gifts, or if there is a large group then exchange names (and set a reasonable price limit).
Have a wonderful weekend.
