Buying for people unnecessarily
Eliminate people from your Christmas gift list. This may sound harsh, but do you really need to buy a gift for your husband when you share the same bank account. Talk to those extra family members and friends about putting a pause on gift exchanging, you may find they are happy to save the money too.Be sure you are not spending too much money on your kids. Children do not appreciate the monetary value of gifts and do not know the difference between designer and home brand gifts.
