Save Some Cash this Holiday Season While Still Giving the Perfect Gift!
Start a Holiday Checklist to Save Time and Be More Efficient With Your Buying
Save money during the holiday season by keeping track through lists
First off, make a list of people you need to buy for and stick to a budget for each person. This way, you won't overspend, or worse yet, forget someone and have to go back out shopping or buy something last minute online, spending extra money on gas or express shipping.
Next, you should definitely take advantage of online shipping by looking for discounted, or free shipping offers. Save money on gas, it's expensive now! You can find thousands of unique products at discount prices right here on Squidoo!
Another consideration is pooling your money together to buy a gift for someone--get the siblings, friends or family members together to get someone a nice, useful gift they'll remember. Who wants the small, useless clutter that can pile up from the holidays! You don't want them to have to resell your gift, so think wisely.
What's a great easy way to save money on holiday shopping?
Buying a season or two ahead! By keeping in mind that spring is only a few months after Christmas, you can find great deals on spring and summer clothing and accessories on eBay and in stores right now. Your gift recipients won't mind getting a high-end item that they can use in the warmer months.

Combine Purchases and Save on Shipping
Buy online and combine purchases for more bang for your buck this holiday season
To save even more money, combine your purchases together on Amazon and eBay. A lot of sellers will be willing to combine shipping on mulitple purchases and even offer FREE shipping for spending over a certain dollar value. Just remember to ask first or make sure it is written in their policies or about me page! And the earlier you start shopping, the better the selection will be and the less you'll have to worry about...no more waiting line, craziness of the malls, or waiting for your package to arrive the day before Christmas!
Benefit from Items that end during low traffic times
Advantages can be found by bidding on items that end at odd times (like 5AM or maybe a friday night at midnight), holidays, and times when the typical buyer may not be around to catch items ending (like during the World Series).

Worth it or Worth Skipping?
Start shopping early--discounts can sometimes be harder to find later in the holiday season. Try Columbus Day Weekend if you're daring, or if you're even more daring, there's Black Friday and Cyber Monday.
Think about the cost-effectiveness of that long waiting on the day after Thanksgiving...is it really worth it? Would you have earned more money selling your old watch or video game system, working, or cutting a take-out meal or two? Who wants to wait in that long, stressful line all night and day, check on eBay, someone may take the stress out of your day and have it here at the same price!
