Beating the Holiday Splurge

While inflation continues to effect prices, it’s still the biggest spending season of the year. Here are some tips and tricks to help you beat inflation without losing the holiday spirit.

Book flights on Tuesdays

Booking a flight online is always a hassle, especially during the holiday season. According to the holidify blog, Tuesdays are the most affordable and cheapest day to book a flight. Because airlines post their weekly sales price on Monday evenings, this is the reason why these prices change.

Shop Small

Shopping locally is a great way to save money while supporting a small business. Purchasing your loved one hand crafted items found local not only help your community but possibly your wallet as well. Make sure to support your favorite local business.
