Open House-Holiday Entertaining Tips~~~~~

The Holidays are here and we all know how the kids get so excited and cant wait to open up presents and bake cookies.Its all happy faces in our house the night before Christmas!! We can get so ahead of ourselfs and completly forget about fire safety! Christmas lights are so neat to have on the tree but one year i read in the Newspaper how a family's house burned down because their lights on their tree ended up catching on fire.The wires were hot up against the wraping paper on the presents and up in flames everything went.Thank goodness no-one was hurt as it was 3 days before Christmas,the family was out doing last minuite shopping.

Please,plan safe.Please make sure when your not home turn everything off,it saves electric bills also.Its another way to prevent accidents.

If you have any tips of your own to be safe these holidays please feel free to share!!   
       
                                                                 

Day 2~ Holiday Entertaining Tips Open House

Share

For the next 9 days i will be posting some Holiday Entertaining Tips to hopefully help my readers prepare for their holiday planning!

We all know that Christmas is almost here and that means we have many different foods to buy to prepare for our Christmas dinner, inless your eating at a family or friends house,Maybe your taking along a dish to share or making those famous home-made cookies of yours,what ever your plans are if they involve the grocery store i would like to share some tips to help with your purchases!

                                                             

Using Coupons

Using coupons can make your budget much more easier if you have the time to prepare to use them,for me i take an hour a week to prepare my pile of coupons that i plan on using for my shopping.Knowing where to find coupons is very important if you plan to really save money.Some coupon lovers will purchase more then 1 sunday newspaper for the flyers filled with coupons.Usually you can find 3 main flyers such as The Red Plum,The Source and P&G.They have alot of useful coupons that will cut alot of expenses down.Maybe some friends or family members will have some coupons they wont use and will be willing to give to you.You can ask your neighborhood store for the extra newspapers that they have left over from their Sunday sales.Alot of neighbors may have a recycle bin with their leftover newspapers inside,its not a bad idea to ask if you can dive in when their filled and ready to trash.Some stores will have their own store flyers as you walk in to the store filled with their own coupons.

With using coupons its very important to use them during a sale or promotion thats going on for the extra savings.Along with a manufactors coupon you can stack it with a store coupon to double your savings.Always read your sale flyers that are included with your sunday newspaper so you know about different weekly sales.

Alot of online blogs will also post about the different sales going on and show you ways to purchase your items free or close to free.Rock bottom prices are the key to your savings.Many blogs offer info on printable coupons to use during your shopping trip.

I hope these tips will be helpful to you and please feel free to comment on some of your tips!!

Thanks,Shannon F.

Holiday Entertaining Tips!!

Share

Can you believe the Holidays are allready here!! Where does the time go?With so many plans and so little time i would like to share some Holiday Entertaining Tips with you as part of my participation in The Holiday Open House event prize giveaway!

My Holiday Entertaining Tips

1. Always plan ahead~ If your going to have a Christmas Party,or a New Years Party,ect.,always plan ahead.Mail out your invitations in a reasonable amount of time so your quests can plan their schedules for your event and R.S.V.P in a good amount of time.
2. Make sure you have enough refreshments/food so no-one will go without the option of having some.Use coupons to purchase your food items.
3. Have someone at the door to welcome your quests at all times and to show them where their coats can go.You want them to feel comfortable as soon as they step into your party.
4. Plan events~ No-one wants to be in a dead party! Plan times for different events or games to keep your guests entertained.Have some music available to listen to.
5. Fire safety~ ALWAYS make sure doors and windows have a lead way.You dont want anyone to block them in case everyone has to evacuate in an emergency.    

I hope My Entertaining Tips are helpful to you, please feel free to share some of your own for us all to read!
