Majority of us celebrate at least
two major festivals every year and we all love them as festivals bring a lot of
fun by getting the entire family together. However, it is also a fact that they
are expensive at the same time. Here is a useful tip that will help you deal
with the expensive aspect of celebrating festivals – ‘plan ahead’.
Why wait until the last moment
when you already know that you may have to incur a lot of other expenses during
the festive season? Plan well and streamline your expenses to ensure that you enjoy
the festival season to the fullest without being stressed about the expenses. Whatever
we are saying here can also be applied for other occasions such as family
functions.
- Start your shopping process well in advance, say two or three months ahead of the festival season.
- You may have envied people who always wear new (often times expensive) dresses for every function that they attend. You also would have wondered how they manage to accommodate such expenses for every function that they attend. Prudent women shop in advance and always have in store new dresses (a secret that is not often shared) without waiting for the invitations for the functions to reach them before they started their shopping process.
- Start with the dresses that you buy as gifts for your parents, siblings and friends in advance to make certain that you do not miss out anyone in the last moment due to possible budget issues.
- Shop for one member of your family at a time rather than buying for the entire family at the same time. Alternatively, you can also set aside some funds every month so that you will have a sizeable amount during the festival season for your family shopping. However, the common experience is that the funds that we reserve for such purposes are often spent in more ways than one before the festive season defeating the entire purpose of saving for festival shopping.
- There is yet another advantage with this approach. Dress materials that need to be stitched can be purchased and stitched in advance as getting hold of a good tailor during the festive season is far from easy. This will certainly avoid unnecessary anxiety and you will not be forced to wait at the tailor’s place just the day before the festival.
