It’s Frugal Confessions Friday–Holiday Edition

Posted on | November 27, 2009 | 1 Comment

Good morning Frugal Confessions Readers!! Happy Black Friday. If you are new to this series, check out the introduction here.

Here’s my confession of the week:

I am a big proponent of reusing items that are used to carry or hold other things, such as padded envelopes and bags. After each Christmas, I save all of the gift bags that have been given to me, and put them in my box of wrapping paper stuff to use for next Christmas! If there is a tag made out to me, I snip the tag off. The bags are always so pretty, and it’s a shame to just use them once. Plus, I have such a big group of people that I buy for, that I never come close to using the bag for the same person who put my gift in it from a year or two before.

So what are some ways in the past, or in this year, that you have found to save on the holidays?

    I love gift bags because I loathe wrapping presents. Plus like you said, they’re thoroughly reusable. I used to use them exclusively but people teased me about it until I finally gave in and began to wrap some gifts. When I did that I discovered that when you wait as long as I do to buy gifts, the wrapping paper is always marked down about 50%. That’s my Christmas frugality, however accidental it may be : )
