FIRST AND MOST IMPORTANTLY I make a list and yes I check it twice lol I only use cash so forget about those credit cards...you'll thank me later....shopping early has its advantages like during black friday times and even before thoes dates its always great to start shopping early I usually start in October , I made a couple of homemade gifts last year and I was totally surprised on how happy the people who received them were ..my last tip is learn from last year I learned I saved more money when I only use cash.... hope this help you have a great holidays happy spending

I am in China , I do not know the credit card bonus system in other place. We will use Credit card to buy sth with discount activities. For eg, buy Starbucks Coffee , get 1 cup , 1 free on Friday via the Credit card issued by one bank that signed the agreement with StarBucks for supporting this discount On the other hand, we buy sth via credit card in order to accumulate the Score of Credit card. The Score can be looked as Bonus that can exchange Gift in its on-line shop.

its good. we are calculating our life as a mathematician for our future. but in life all calculations will be wrong because the life is too small. after living a 70 age we thing they lived only few minutes in this world.
