		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s Time For The Frugal Grinch&#8217;s Gift List! About 10 months ago, we reminded people to be wary of running up a lot of Christmas debt.  If you do that, you will certainly be giving the gifts that keep on taking away, and not giving. All year, we have been providing resources about sticking to a monthly budget too. As we are starting to see Halloween decorations give way to Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Hanukkah decorations, it is time to poll our members for their best frugal gift ideas. We love holidays, but we also know that holiday gifts can be budget busters! Set A Gift Budget Please set a realistic budget, and then do everything you can to stick to it! If your family is having a tough time right now, it may be time for the adults to agree that gifts are for kids only. If you want to give adults presents, please prioritize them. You may not be able to present your favorite people with 100% of their desires, but you may be able to give them a light at the end of the tunnel. For example, if you cannot afford to give your adolescent son an XBOX [...]

		<description><![CDATA[What is Wrong with Gift Cards? Gift cards seem great. They are convenient because they are easy to wrap and seem to be the perfect gift for the person who has everything. Rather than imposing your own gift choice, why not allow your friend to shop for themselves? So what are the problems with gift cards? You are still imposing a choice on your friend if you give a store or restaurant gift card. You may be giving a card to a place where the recipient never shops. And if you are giving small face value cards, they may actually force your friend to spend a lot more money to use them! Studies suggest that most people who use gift cards actually spend more than the value of them! And in the old days, stores would actually give back change in the form of cash. But now the value is left on the card. So even if your friend uses $21 on a $25 restuarant card, they will have to return to that eatery and spend more in order to use up the remaining $4. No wonder stores and restaurants love gift cards! Lots of people forget to use them. [...]

		<description><![CDATA[Fun Ideas to Entertain on the Cheap! I need to watch my budget. But last night, impulsively, my family and I decided to step out to dinner and a movie. After I got home, I realized that I&#8217;d spent almost $100, which really knocks out my entertainment budget for the month. When I do go out, I don&#8217;t like to limit what everybody can order, so these nights out need to be saved for special times. But I wanted to look into ways to experience good times for less money. Rent Movies The Smart Way! If you guys are movie lovers, then a rental membership like Blockbuster may be a good investment. You can order movies online, and then return them in the mail or the video store. You do not have to worry about late fees or due dates either. When you consider the price of seeing a movie out, or even renting movies the traditional way, movie rental memberships really pay off over the long term. We do have a cheap online movie rental offer. Home Movie Nights Are Great! Break out the popcorn popper, soft drinks, and maybe even some other healthy snacks. Your family can have [...]
