Buy in Bulk
Buying in bulk doesn’t just apply to your cereal and paper towels — it can be great for holiday items such as ornaments. If you’re trying to cover your Christmas tree, for example, consider buying a 50- or 100-count ornament set instead of collecting one specialty ornament at a time.
Depending on the size of your tree, you might have some left over to display around the house. It’s not uncommon to find up to 100-piece sets on sites like Amazon or eBay or stores such as Michaels for around $15-20 bucks.
If you really want individual pieces to adorn your tree, ask for them as gifts. Your family and friends will have no shortage to choose from when they do their holiday shopping — ’tis the season — and you won’t have to spend a dime.
