Save On Christmas Cards
I was at the store yesterday looking for Christmas cards for a few people. I noticed on average the cards were close to $4 a piece. I would rather spend the money on the person’s actual gift than a card because most people don’t save their cards and end up tossing them out.
There are a few ways to save on Christmas cards.
1) Make Your Own Cards. I know a lady who is retired and to keep her busy she makes every single one of her cards herself. They are really beautiful cards and she gets the material from old cards. She simply buys a big pack of stock paper and glues pictures on them from other cards. Then she writes her messages on them. She’s crafty and makes them look really nice. You don’t have to be artsy or crafty to make your own cards though. You can get a big pack of stock paper for around $5. Just fold the paper in half and decorate it. It takes time, but it will save a lot of money compared to buying cards individually.
2) Buy cards in bulk. You can also get a bulk package of cards with a wintry scene on them but they don’t necessarily have to be for Christmas. They are blank inside and you can write whatever message you want to.
