Don’t fear! Your trusty credit union is here. We’ll help you create holiday magic without creating extra debt.
Try these tips to save money:
- Budget: Before you begin shopping, set a realistic budget. Determine how much you can afford to spend total. Need help keeping track of your budget? Landmark members can use the budgeting tools in Digital Banking.
- Compare: Shop around and compare prices from different stores. Try using online price comparison tools like Google Shopping, PriceGrabber or Honey.
- Plan: Spread out your purchases. Start buying presents before the holiday season is in full swing and take advantage of sales.
- Exchange: Consider organizing a gift exchange in which each person draws the name of one person to give a gift to. That way you and your coworkers, relatives or friends can buy one present instead of several.
- Make: Use your time or talent to give a homemade gift. A thoughtful present doesn’t have to be expensive. Start brainstorming ideas with our list of Gifts From the Heart.
