In spite of being a bit spend-y recently I have worked on saving some money.
I did very little Black Friday/Cyber Monday shopping. I had been on the lookout for a new crockpot since the lid on mine no longer closes securely. I ended up purchasing it from Kohl's along with some on sale curtains for the house so I could get free shipping.
I waited on sales for the online consignment stores (Schoola, Swap, and ThredUp). I was glad that I waited until Cyber Monday when the sales were better, and I got free shipping.
I never got around to making my Christmas cards this year so I followed a tip from Frugalwoods. I ordered postcards from VistaPrint. I waited for a sale so they were budget friendly.
I focused meals on what we had on hand. I am cleaning out the refrigerator freezers first, and then I will tackle the big freezer. I am not doing an official pantry challenge, but I am trying to eat what we have.
I ordered some free magazine subscriptions with a couple of free gift cards, points from Recycle Bank, and Reward Survey.

I feel so out of focus already and December has only just started. My to do list includes needing to buy gifts and pack and wrap boxes and plan a meal for family in the next two weeks time. Just as I think I've got it all under control something changes, lol. I too am putting bigger goals on hold until January and in the meantime I'm squeezing pennies to make things happen because I feel like ENOUGH has been spent already.
