How To Save Money Over The Holidays

Holiday time shouldn't be stressful on your wallet. Unfortunately it can be at times. Here's some helpful tips and tricks on how to save money over the holiday time.

1) Buy Gifts Little By Little

You shouldn't wait until the last minute to finish all of your shopping. You'll become very stressed out, and probably end up spending more than you need. With more time to shop, you also have the opportunity to stick to a stricter budget.

2) Get Black Friday Prices After Black Friday

Black Friday has changed radically over the past few years. It's no longer required to wake up at 2AM and stand in line for deals on Friday. Most of these deals are great online, and even after Black Friday. Not just from retailers, but from people selling it too. People will buy items during Black Friday and then sell them for small profits online. Check eBay, and other online markets. You'll spend slightly more, but avoid the madness of Black Friday.

3) Turn Old Electronics Into Money

Gadgets like old phones, old tablets, computers and video game consoles can easily be turned into cash. Sell your unwanted electronics on sites like Gazelle, NextWorth and uSell. You can even sell broken ones too. Some retailers allow you to trade them in for gift cards too.
