Tis the season… to decorate the home. This year we set out to decorate our home for the holidays on a budget.

And show you this and trick that will save you money without looking cheap.

1. PURCHASING A CHRISTMAS TREE FOR LESS

Deciding on a Christmas tree us a big deal. It’s insane how much a real or fake tree can cost.

See my family had bad allergies, so a real tree is just not an option. Therefore we sent endless days at the different stores trying to determine who had the best deals.

If you’re in for a new tree, a few places that we considered are Bigots, Walmart, the Christmas store, Sams, and a few online.

Although we didn’t purchase from any of these stores, it did allow us to get an idea of what tree we were leaning towards.

The Dunhill Fir tree won us over.

This tree is tall, full and well-shaped. What we also learned was this high-quality fluffy tree came with an unrealistic price tag of 400 dollars.

I love Christmas but 400 dollars!

Instead of buying a new tree for 300- 400 dollars, we purchased this awesome found the same tree for a steal. The Christmas tree we purchased was less than half.

And we donated the old tree to another family so they can have a Christmas.

2. DIY CHRISTMAS TREE DECORATIONS

BEAUTIFUL TREE

Holiday decor can add up quickly.

The best ways to shop for less is

  • purchased the holiday decorations from my favorite story ..DOLLAR TREE
  • Head to Michael’s and be sure to take coupons found on their site
  • Always purchase decoration the day after Christmas

You can find coupons for almost anything on snip snap.

I lucked out because Michael’s at the end of the season, everything was 50% off. In addition, I used 50% off coupon from the app snip snap.

This by far saved me tons of money with Christmas decorations.

I modified my bows a little by using fabric I found on sale and making a longbow ribbon.

The centerpiece was so easy to create and beautiful too.

You can just head to the dollar tree and pick up candleholders and artificial flowers, then place the small Christmas balls inside.

For the center glass jar, use any leftover ribbon by placing it in the jar in a circular motion. See…. simple, cheap and easy just like my other DIY projects!
