My Best Holiday Savings Tip

I am entering the Nickelodeon contest for a $500 wal-mart gift certificate for the Best Holiday Savings Tip. I encourage my frugal readers to enter to.

• My Money Saving Tip: A List is the key, talk with your kids and make a list of the items you are shopping for then set aside that amount in CASH(I have a special checking account for holidays we set aside a little bit each month). The key to not overspending is using what you've set aside and sticking to the list. You will be happy come January that you don't have a high credit card bill.
