Lets face it, times are hard financially.  People are penny pinching, and they should be.  People are losing money in the stock market, jobs are scarce, and some of us just let our boyfriend, mom, and old manager talk us into quitting our job at quiznos against our better judgment and are starting to regret it.

But... THE HOLIDAYS ARE COMING UP!!! My personal favourite time of the year, a time of cocoa and trees and parties and wreaths and caroling and all my favourite things about life.  A time to spend lots and lots of money!  But there in lies the problem: now isn't a time to be spending lots of money.

So does anyone have and thrifty/cheap/recyclable money saving tips for the holiday season?  If you have any ideas at all I'd love to hear them.

Cheers!

So I'm in the habit of posting something, reading the responces for all of three days and then forgeting about it. That being said, I saw this and thought i'd let you know whats going on.

I took you all up on your advice, offered to help her when class was out, but after a while she gave up crochet for writing short stories (and thank goodness I didn't have to help her with that).

She quit the flute too because she thought it was too geeky.  Her loss, band is freaking awesome.  Thats was the only class we had so I haven't seen her in a while.
