There can be considerable benefits to starting your holiday planning now.  Start thinking Frugal Christmas, now… and you won’t miss some great opportunities to save.

After Halloween Deals

$ Grab up remaining halloween candy.  You can get a great deal on chocolates, and no one will be the wiser when they are chopped up in holiday desserts & cookies.

 $ Many halloween candies are not individually marked as such.  Pop them in the back of the freezer and they will make stocking stuffer fillers.

  $  If you are a fan of “The Nightmare before Christmas”, start planning a themed Christmas party now.  Gummie worms & those foil covered chocolates, that look like eyeballs ,will never be cheaper. Some halloween props, like cauldrons and mummy wraps, will actually work for the theme. 

  $  Angel and Elf costumes might be found in the clearance racks now.

Right now stores are trying to moved this stuff out as quickly as possible and cutting prices drastically.
