[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Looking for short-term strategies to stay on budget from now through New Year’s. Gifts are done, but we have several meals/dinners coming up—Christmas Eve at home with extended family, big Christmas Day dinner for our household, a big family dinner out on the 26th, plus a birthday dinner outon the 27th. I didn’t post this in finance because I’m not looking for long-term strategies, just practical ways to avoid overspending in the next few weeks. We’re not changing lifestyle basics (subscriptions, etc.), but I’d love ideas for: Keeping holiday meal costs reasonable Curbing impulse purchases Any other small, actionable ways to stay under budget Thanks! [/quote] We purchased Thanksgiving dinner from the Fresh Market after pricing what it would cost to take our extended family out to dinner and it was fantastic and about a third of the price. Just had to heat up - so very easy, not a lot of dishes dirtied. [/quote]
