Welcome to my weekly gathering of Thrifty Thursday! I am definitely coupon savvy, but sometimes, I forget to be thrifty. The dictionary says that thrifty is “thriving by industry and frugality”. I would say if you are reading this blog that you are in some way trying to be thrifty!
I am going to encourage everyone to link up their thriftiest deal of the week, a thrifty tip, or an article focused on the thrifty lifestyle we are trying to lead.
I know today is Christmas Eve, so one of two things is happening at your house right now!
1. You are finished with all preparations and enjoying family.
2. You are not finished and running around like a chicken with its head cut off.
Either way, I hope you join us for a short while today. This week I am dedicating this post to having a thrifty holiday.
My number one thrifty tip this week is actually things you should buy between Dec. 26th and Jan. 1st. You should stock up on wrapping paper, ribbon, Christmas cards, and other Christmas clearance items at 75% off or more. The time between Christmas and New Year’s is the only time these items will be this cheap. So try to buy ahead what you can store for next year.
Life as a Mom encourages us to stay home at Christmas to save money.
Here is a link to a free craft e-book. These activities can keep your child entertained while out of school and make great gifts.

A big thanks to my blogging friend Lynn. She claims she isn’t thrifty, but she checks out my deals all the time. Click here to see her Christmas feature on my Thrifty Thursday.
