It's the weekend Well almost. Hi family with the weekend and family coming all at once what are we doing to save money and still be able to entertain our family for the holidays. Here's some suggestions from a cheapskate.
The norm is barbeque hamburgers, hotdogs and steaks but with the price of food. This can be expensive. Look at what you already have in your freezer that you need to cook and can make a holiday meal with. Hey that pot roast looks like a holiday meal. These chicken legs will taste good with some sauce on them. You get the point. This will save you money on buying food that's already overpriced.
Decoration $1.25 store has a few nice things. Also the colors are red, white and blue. See if you have any leftover decorations form other holiday events that would work just right with this years holiday event. Also party city and 99 cents stores might have a few things that you can purchase all for on clearance.
Don't be ashamed to tell your guest to bring something to the party. If they can not cook like me I brink the drinks or paper cups, plates etc,
Let the music play buy setting up a boom box if you still have one. Getting music off your iPad have it set up with speakers, What about using that stereo system for once that you have collecting dust in the corner. Turn it on and play those albums you have sitting with it.
Ask your friends and family if they have an inflatable pool, games. buy balloons and other things that the kids can do to have fun with out the cost. I have seen the dollar store carrying a lot of holiday items and things that the kids can play with during the event. all for $1.25.
The most important thing is to have fun enjoy your company and save that $$
Have a Safe & Blessed Holiday
