  or start saving now to own one next year if you ever can't afford to devote to sales this year.
  
  12. Christmas Fare - You don't Have to have turkey this year... chicken is going to do and still tastes nice with cranberry sauce! You can spice up your very simple vegetable varieties with sauces and sliced almonds. Purchase your shopping at cheaper stores - it really doesn't matter if your food comes in "Christmas" wrapping - it's precisely what is inside that counts. Always keep sales vouchers, flyers and coupons and have used them. Buy store brands - even though it might be next to your principles, if you're smashed and desperate, these are excellent value for money and will save people $$'s. For non-perishables that you can buy in advance and store, buy a bit each week before Christmas - tinned puddings and custard powder, nuts...
  
  13. Keeping the kids entertained - Movies: properly, if you're like most, taking the family on the cinema this year may be off the menu, but depending where you reside - whether it's summer or winter - there are activities you can do that don't cost the earth. So maybe you can't help it become to the cinema - there are online places, like NetFlix, that lets you rent DVD's online and don't charge late return fees. They also have a one month free trial so make use of this! DVD Rental stores are are anxious for customers these days provided the arrival of places like Netflix, not to forget the popularity of cable TELEVISION SET, Foxtel, etc., so you can rent the new movies for a fraction of the price of seeing it in movie house.
  
  14. More keeping your offspring entertained - Free Light show - require a drive around your and surrounding suburbs this Christmas and certainly the richer suburbs and let young kids enjoy some amazing light displays. If your town contains a special light display, take them into town to find it.
  
  15. Yet more entertainment - again depending on which the main world you live within, your town may have Christmas pageants. These are generally free. Take your kids to look at the parade and enjoy some free Christmas cheer.
  
  16. Much more entertainment - You've been busy all year, and how frequently have you had time to enjoy with your kids? I'm talking quality time. I'm talking sitting down and playing old fashioned board games with them. Scrabble. Monopoly. In the event you don't have these matches (and shame you), then ask your next door neighbours or check with try your local library. (Yes, some libraries do stock games.) Teach young kids cards! You know, in a long time when your kids have become up and somebody asks them what was their best Christmas... virtually no, it won't be the year you spent $5, 000 on the fancy thingamy jig they had to have... it will be the year you were poor and spent all your time playing with them!
  
  17. Get in the Mood - you'll want a Christmas carol CD or tape of some kind in your house - play it. It will help set the mood therefore costs you nothing. In any other case, tune your radio in to a station that is taking part in carols. Kinky curly curling custard
