How I'm Saving This Holiday Season

by - 12/07/2021 12:00:00 AM


The holiday season is upon us and for me, this is actually my favorite time of the year. At one point in my life. The holiday season was a very stressful time of year for me. It's not as if money just appeared right for the holidays? However, I learned very fast about strategically planning for the Holiday season. I have been using some great resources to help me save for the holiday season and I'm sharing them below.

Barter services- I am not the biggest fan of bartering services. However, if you're good at baking and you have a friend good at crafts. Why not barter services, you bake, they craft.

Rakuten - Rakuten is one of my favorite apps/websites. I learned about Rakuten a couple of years ago... I'm not sure why I was so hesitant about trying Rakuten. I am was not so great at using it at first. However, I'm getting better. I also ask myself prior to going to the stores would it be cheaper for me to purchase the items online or "ship to store" if I'm going to be in that area? They also have an app and offer instore deals as well. 

Hip2Save- I try my best to check this site daily. I actually found a London fog winter coat for my son for under $20 the original price was $80. I can not be everywhere all the time so Hip2save is my place where I can learn about great deals. I've been using this site as a resource for over 3+ years now.

Ibotta- I am still getting into the groove of using this app. I learned about this app a few years ago. You have to remember to upload the receipt... If I can save a dollar here or there to make sure my budget is in line... It's a great way to save throughout the year, and use your savings to purchase gifts at the end of the year. 

I know this is a super shortlist. However, you will be surprised at how fast your savings start to add up.
