Easter Edition
We recently decided to take a last minute trip to visit family and friends out of town. While speaking with my mom, I explained to her that I was going to present my girls their Easter Basket when we come home because I didn’t want them to destroy my family members homes! What she said next really made me think. “If you were going to wait to give them their basket then you could have waited for the after Easter Sale”. However, I had already done this without even realizing it. I had purchased easter baskets and grass last year for this current Easter. After Christmas I purchased the toys that I would be placing in the baskets in January for 80-90% off. They only thing I had to purchase was candy and since I had the baskets and toys completed for 4 little girls one of the other mothers decided to purchase the candy for the baskets. I was able to present Easter Baskets to four little girls with a retail value of over $125 each for around $25 dollars each. Each Basket included scented markers, giant coloring books, two LOL surprise dolls, cups, candy, and even molding clay! Planning and budgeting goes hand in hand. Knowing how to budget and making sure you are never caught “last minute” shopping/planning you are sure to met your budgeting goals and needs daily/weekly monthly and yearly! -Budgeting Cents
