How To Spend Less On Decorating!

I suppose this is easier said then done but there is no need to go out and spend $80 to $150 on a whole new set of lights, ornaments, and yard decorations. You can make some of these or even buy stuff from the Dollar store or a thrift shop.

I've heard many blogs comment saying it is a good idea to visit thrift stores after the holidays because that is when people are throwing stuff out! Why not? If it still looks good I say use it. The last 3 years I have bought little things here and there for decorating but have never spent anymore then $40.00 on decorations. This year I didn't spend much either because I bought everything from the Dollar store.

The good part to is once you buy something you can reuse it many times or even in other projects so it is not an entire waste! my video below this post shows an idea of using stuff from the Dollar stuff.


Check out Do It On A Dime's Channel Here! This is one of my newly fav channels and this is a really good video that gives you a good idea of what you can buy cheap! She even shows you what she did with this decorations :) Even though some dollar store items are low quality there are ways to get around that sometimes to make it look a bit nicer. Hope you enjoyed my post! I will be posting my Christmas tour video soon!
