Holiday Shopping Mistakes to Avoid This Season

 


It is coming next Friday!  Beware the allure of Black Friday with all the advertising trying to coax you into buying things you or your loved ones don't need.  Research and plan before you run off with the influence of all the hype of the day.

You know a little about my past life before the frugalista mentality hit me . . . work like a dog so I could spend, spend, spend on stuff I didn't need that now clutter my house.  My biggest vice was the Home Shopping Club.  Oh my God . . . that was instant in your face hype.  They wanted to make you think you could not live without the item they were trying to sell at the moment.  I really didn't have time to think about making the purchase, like do I need this.  It got me into big trouble!

Don't fall for the hype!  My best advice to you is to check out the article Mary from Everyday Cheapskate has posted on advise for not making holiday spending mistakes.
