Savvy with Abbie

The past two years I have been putting together a blog post of deals, ideas, and gifts for Christmas. Especially with COVID-19 happening this year, our budget is super tight so I try and look for deals and I usually purchase Christmas gifts months ahead. My past blogs haven't been shared until later in the year and closer to Christmas so I decided to put one together earlier so I can share when deals pop up. Also, it's July and "Christmas in July" is a thing :) You can view my past Christmas blogs here: Christmas 2019 Christmas 2018 Also, if you are in need of something that is on a deal, let me know in the comments below and I'll let you know what I find. As of July 25, 2020, Target has great deals on kids clothes - as low as $5.00! The only thing is, if you want it shipped, you have to have at least $35.00 in your cart to get that price.

Last year's Christmas Gift Ideas blog post didn't get posted until the end of November. I'm trying to be on top of it this year and post by September and then add to the blog post through December.

So that month was a struggle and I don't think I had any money for Christmas gifts. Since then, I vowed to make a change so that I'm not in that boat again. I would rather purchase items throughout the year instead of relying on having enough money in December to buy gifts. I can say that as of now, I have my nephews Christmas gifts all bought. I have some of my nieces, some of Jace

The best way to save money during Christmas is to not spend money. Unfortunately, that is inevitable. So if you have to spend money, why not spend as little as possible? This blog was not created on how to get items for free, but where to shop for deals and discounts. This blog was mainly created because I only have a part-time job living in California and my goal has been to find ways to save money over Christmas. I look for deals year-round but below is a list of what I have purchased or what I recommend for Christmas. Keep in mind that most deals go fast just because they are either temporary deals or Black Friday specials. The first one that I'm about to talk about is an example of that. Jace has been talking about a scooter for the past few months. Well, I finally found one for a great deal! On Instagram, I follow @ilikedeals_net and they shared a scooter on Amazon for $18 which is a price drop from $30! I purchased it two days ago and went on today and it is unavailable so
