Think simpler!

A recent article in Living a Better Life:  The Free Money Savings Tips Ezine had the following suggestions for the upcoming hectic holiday season. 

It’s that time of year again—the holidays are just weeks away. It’s a time to get creative about spending and discovering new ways to make your life simpler.



Plan your holiday menus now if you will be serving meals in your home. From the menus, plan what things you will need to purchase. Start purchasing ahead—you can take advantage of sale items, and you can also spread the expenses out over the next couple of months rather than having to shell it all out as the holidays approach.


Adopt the slogan “simplicity saves sanity.” Make simple meals. Try soup and sandwiches, pancakes, eggs and toast, pasta and salads for dinner. Most often our labor-intensive meals are in the evening—look for ways to reduce the time in the kitchen in the evenings.



Think more broadly about what things you will need to prepare for Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year’s. Again, create lists of everything and anything that comes to mind. Some things that might be included would be gifts, charitable donations, holiday decorations, table settings, invitations, Christmas tree, wrapping paper, food items, baking ingredients, entertainment ideas, etc.

 

We think these are all super ideas and plan to try to adopt some of them!
