Saturday my husband and I went to purchase our Thanksgiving fixings. I realized years ago that the food we buy is specific to this particular day (and Easter). I also realized back then that it is a major budget buster because it is a major grocery trip for just one meal… ONE MEAL.
I created a fund for myself that includes holidays, gifts, birthdays and all it encompasses. Each payday I allot a certain amount of money into that fund to be prepared for those occasions. For gifts, I allot a certain amount of money to spend for each person on my list.
To me, the frenzy of the holidays can be stressful. I am so glad to have the cushion I need to make these occasions special.
