I did not do a lot of shopping this holiday season. Didn't even look for online buys and coupons. Even though I did not do much shopping, I felt exhausted just by thinking about buying stuff for everyone in the family. Instead of buying presents for them, I decided to give my family and relatives cash. That helps me save a lot of time shopping and I know that the things that they buy withe money I gave are things that they really wanted.
Women in particular like to shop. I am one of them but am a thrifty shopper. Most of the time, I shop at thrift stores. When shopping at thrift stores, I also look for good deals for things that I need and want to buy. I actually look for great deals both online and on-site stores because I want to save money in any way I possibly can, especially in these tough economic times when every penny counts.
My hubby and I did not buy presents that we could open on the Christmas Eve. The new washer, fridge and laptop are the early Christmas presents we bought for ourselves a few weeks ago. I did not shop for more because I think those presents were already too much knowing that many families have fallen on hard times. One of the best ways that I can think of to keep that happening to us is to be frugal and be cautious on spending money on frivolous things.
If you like to shop online check out NoMoreRack. There you can find unbeatable deals on your favorite brand names and hot items. I haven’t tried shopping first hand on that site yet but it might worth giving a try soon. I need to check out the site more because I read a few nomorerack scam articles online. Before I start shopping there, I need to do more research about that company and perhaps read more nomorerack reviews. I don’t usually shop online for clothes because my hubby doesn’t think it is a good idea when you need to try on and observe the quality first hand. I do want to find out more about the website in case I find something there that I really like.
