The cost of cash for the celebration of the New Year often beat the wallet with the power of the ocean tsunami. Planning can reduce the impact force.
We will help you and tell you how not to go broke at the celebration of the new year.
Operation New Year is better divided into two stages, each of which is carefully thought out. We must start from the end. Decide how, where and with whom you will celebrate the New Year, and hold a holiday holiday. This will largely hamper what you need to do now, in early December.
First of all, make a list of necessary purchases. Try to follow it clearly and not be distracted by another nice little pretty little thing. If the choice of gifts confuses you, take advantage of more popular gift certificates. They are now releasing everything from beauty salons and perfume boutiques to household appliances stores. Pay attention to the fact that many certificates have a limited validity.
Balls and other tinsel.
Christmas decorations begin to sell in November, and by the end of December, prices for them will increase. So it's better to do shopping now, when there is still time before the holiday. And if you want to really save, then for this New Year, manage old stocks. But right after the first of January you can buy balls and tinsel on sales at bargain prices!
Gifts: attention is expensive.
Prepare a list of all who are going to give presents this year. Determine the amount that is ready to spend on presents. Select those you do not want to save on. Think about how you can please them. Carefully go to the procedure of buying: go around a few shops, compare prices. Look for the same thing on the Internet, maybe it's cheaper there. Just do not postpone the order for the last few days. Let the gift lie for a couple of weeks in your closet. And remember: people do not need expensive things, but attention!
They do not take money for a walk through the forest.
Do you want to go abroad or have a rest in a country boarding house? If you did not book a trip in October, now it is unlikely that there is anything left. Maybe cancel the holiday at home, and plan to plan a trip on the second of January? This can be substantially cheaper than the tours from December 30th.
Decided for all the holidays to stay at home? Around too much fun. During the holidays there are children's performances, performances, concerts. It is better to buy tickets in advance at the ticket offices of theaters and concert halls, and not from intermediaries.
Are you afraid that after the holiday there will be no money for cultural trips? Organize a sally into the woods on skis, ride with children on skates, walk around your native city, go to the museum, watch movies at home that you've wanted to see for a long time, go to visit friends or relatives. You can relax without much damage to your wallet!
Dresses for all occasions.
If you want to look, it's better to take care of dresses beforehand. If you left everything at the last moment, then exit two. Buy expensive, but the classic thing of high quality, and to it fashion accessories. This outfit will last you several years. Inexpensive, but ostromodnaya thing will help you a couple - three times. Then you can throw out without much regret!
In the morning for food.
A few days before December 31 in the supermarkets begins pandemonium. Avoiding a huge waste of time and nerves can be as follows. After drawing up the festive menu, break down the desired products into two categories: a short and long shelf life. The second can be bought two weeks before the celebration. For the rest it is better to go to the store in the morning or even at night. At this time, many supermarkets offer 5-10% discounts on all products. Something you can buy and in a wholesale warehouse.
