But wherecanyou save some money after you’ve invested in these better decorations?
Let me tell you how I do it.
When I started decorating my own tree some years ago, I paid a lot for fancy gold ornaments.
This did not stop them from breaking, nor did it stop me from getting bored with them.
A24-pack like this one, which costs about $15, is just right.
These can be made more worthwhile by using them to decorate your home into January and February.
But don’t cheap out on… ## Cheaper decorating around the home
Saving money don’t always mean compromising on aesthetics.
Don’t overspend on indoor wreaths, either.
Outdoor ones need to be sturdy, so spend your money there.
An artificial, 20-inch wreath isunder $4at Walmart.
Do aim to round out your collections of figurines, trinkets, and ornaments.
To me, the best money-saving technique is making use of what you already own.
I keep mine pink for most of the year and transition them to red or green for the holidays.
The same goes for puck lights, which are about$20 for six.
I have these all over and, again, at holiday time, I turn them the appropriate colors.
This reduces the need for me to buy holiday-colored lights and waste money.
These replace holiday-specific night lights (which are spendy!)
They blend right in.
When in doubt, tie some bows everywhere and anywhere you’ve got the option to.
Everywhere you go, you’ll see yuletide-looking candles, tissue boxes, towels, and baskets.
