Yes you read correctly!Start your christmas shopping now!
Yes I know it's only September. I used to think people who shopped months in advance for christmas presents were 'a bit odd' and eager for christmas. 'What's the rush - there's months yet' I used to say. Well that was before I had children.
During the christmas season I've got christmas presents to think about, as well as children's parties, children's birthdays, a works do and buying something to wear for that and any other functions that can crop up around this time. Since pay day is usually earlier in December that means my pay that month has to stretch for an extra week. It makes sense then to shop a few or at least two months in advance.
There might be a sale on, a special offer or you see something that you know a particular person that you intend to buy for would like. Just buy the item there and then instead of pondering whether you should buy it. It might not be there next time you go back to the shop. Or the special offer might have ended. How gutting would that be!
Also, if you take your time shopping from now, you'll have a relatively stress free run up to christmas, while others are frantically and frustratingly running from shop to shop trying to find presents.
Money-saving, Stress-saving and very organised!
