Go Thrift Shopping
Many of the best deals are not found in traditional big-box stores. Thrift stores often offer an abundance of holiday decorations and crafting supplies — especially if you shop months before the Christmas season.
Consignment shops that carry home decor can also be good sources of Christmas items. Some independent resale shops will even offer cash or store credit when you trade in unwanted items, resulting in more money to spend on seasonal decor.
And a bonus? Popular thrift store chains like Goodwill and Savers also donate a portion of their proceeds to neighborhood nonprofits so you’re actually supporting the local community with your purchase. That’s a win-win.
