I think one of my biggest savings this year is that I missed out on a lot of the clearance. We didn’t drive back from Florida until the 27th, then I promptly got sick, got better and then had to hit the road again to go see my family. That didn’t leave a lot of time to find clearance, although I did check out Target and find a few goodies. Our Hallmark is still only 50% off, so I have my eyes on a few ornaments when it hits 75%. Fingers crossed something will be left! If it’s not, I’ll just save more money, I guess!
We had a belated get together with my husband’s side of the family yesterday. We went out to lunch together, but then everyone came back to our house, where I was able to put out an array of cookies– and I didn’t have to bake a single thing! Saving tip for the win! It’s a good thing I had cookies in the freezer because I was not feeling baking right now- not to mention I’d have had to run to the store and spend extra money on ingredients to make several kinds of cookies.
I’ve been keeping an eye out for special after hours events at Disneyland. I’m really hoping we luck out and there will be a special event during our dates- although if there isn’t, that will save us some cash, so we really win either way. Now that we are in 2020, we’ll be able to make dining reservations soonish. By soonish, I mean March or so, but hey…we’re getting there! Right now I’m mostly just working on paying for the trip because Disneyland doesn’t force you to plan super far in advance like Disney World!
