Sticking to a budget over the holiday season

With all of the wonderful deals that have been available over the past few days, I have found myself getting fixated on "getting the deal". While scoring great deals on gifts I need for Christmas is important, I have to take a step back for a moment and prioritize. On black friday, I almost purchased a flipvideo camera because it was a great deal. I never once desired to have this product and I didn't have anyone on my Christmas list who needed this product. So why did I almost buy it? It was a great deal! Not a good answer. Let's take a step back for a moment and prioritize so that we do not get out of hand over the holiday season.

Budget for Gifts-Hopefully, by now you have created a holiday budget for yourself. If not determine how much you have to spend on each person on your list. Without a budget we often spend more than what we can actually afford. This is the first step.

Don't use credit-I know that times are rough this year, but try to avoid using credit cards over the holiday season. You do not want to be stuck paying for Christmas presents in February and March. If your budget is tight this year try making a homemade present. Or ask your family if you could do a secret santa gift exchange instead of purchasing a present for everyone in your family. Or simply scale down, if you normally spend 30.00 on a present for your brother reduce your price to 20.00 or whatever you are comfortable with. Don't go broke trying to afford Christmas, the important thing is spending time with the ones you love.

It's o.k. to miss a deal-I get so excited about shopping that I often forget what I am trying to do which is save money. Have an honest moment with yourself and make sure the deals you are snagging our actually things you need to get for Christmas.

Have a great holiday season and have fun saving money and finding awesome deals!

Saturday-Chicken Wings Slowcooker (again)

I have been trying to plan my meals 2 weeks in advance. Often I find that I will change the meal based on my mood and how much I feel like cooking for the night. I am hoping that by preparing several of these meals in the slowcooker I will stick to my plan.

It is just me and my husband eating these meals. Usually we will take the leftovers to work the next day for lunch.

Breakfast around here is grab and go. I usually have coffee and a granola bar.

Crockpot meals this week

I recieved my new Taste of Home slowcooker cookbook in the mail. I bought it back when they were clearanced for 4.00. I have come up with 5 recipes that I will be cooking for dinners this week. I am supper excited to try to use the crockpot more than I have been. Since I work during the day, it will be nice to put the meal in the crockpot in the morning and have it ready when I get home from work. Hassle free!

Monday I am making Swiss Chicken. It is supper simple just chicken, swiss cheese slices, cream of mushroom soup, 1 stick of butter, 1/4 cup milk. Sprinkle with 2 cups of stovetop stuffing. Can it get any easier.
