Welcome back to Becentsable’s Holiday Boot Camp!
When you think of Christmas, do you think NEW? Instead, think “NEW for YOU”! I have been watching out for some great deals, sales and cheap ways to entertain my younger children this winter and even collect some Christmas gifts along the way.
Often, we think of Consignment stores only to sell or buy clothes but did you know many carry NEW or Never been use items, toys and books. They also have WISH lists that you sign up for what you are looking for and they will call you when it comes in their store. WIN/WIN!
I purchased a LIKE NEW Fisher Price Grow-to-Pro Basketball Goal for our children. It is listed NEW for $55.00 and I bought it for $10.00. I felt like it was a steal! We would have NEVER purchased this had it been NEW.
Why not shop for Christmas by looking at Craigslist, Consignment Stores, Trade, and/or buy through friends? Your children will not know the difference BUT your budget will!
Have a blessed holiday season!
