4 Holiday Budgeting Tips this BER months!
1. Create a list
Start thinking of your loved ones that you usually send Christmas gifts. The ber months are the perfect time to start planning ahead for the holiday rush.
Jot down the names of the people that come to mind for gift-giving, from your tita to your mother-in-law and best buds. Then, create a price range for each of them.
Be creative and resourceful when setting a budget, too. Identify other ways where you can save more. One example is if you're planning to spend on Christmas greeting cards, you can decide whether to buy them in-store or DIY them this time.
Don't forget to consider the cost of a reliable delivery service. With Lalamove, you can enjoy affordable rates, ensuring your gifts arrive on time. As for the total, it might be best to overestimate the budget to account for tax and delivery service fees.
2. Stick to your budget
So you're all set on spending less and saving more this season. The ber months are a great time to tighten your spending habits and plan smarter. What comes next is the hard part: sticking to the budget.
Take note of your usual expenses and set them apart from your holiday budget. During the ber months, it’s easy to get carried away with festive spending, so it’s crucial to stay disciplined.
As much as possible, try to get rid of unnecessary spending. Keep a tracker and update it religiously, down to the last peso.
While it can be challenging to have a solid budget, it will surely be rewarding come Christmas. Check this out for smart delivery service budget hacks: Riding on PayDay Sales: Is it worth the spend?
