Christmas is a season of sharing and giving, and there are so many ways of enjoying beautiful decoration and gifting that will not break the bank.

So get ready to discover some beautiful DIY ideas you can easily make to either decorate your own home, or as a gift!

​There is such a beauty in pillows!  No matter how fine, beautiful, or expensive your furniture is, it will never look complete without pillows, whatever your style might be.  Pillows are not only designed as a decoration piece, but also are an invitation to sit down, relax, and enjoy a moment of comfort, either with company or by yourself.

Oh . . . but how expensive can pillows be!  Even the simplest ones are no less than $15 each, even at discount stores!  That's why when you see those prices, creativity comes alive.

Did you know that many people prefer to save without using paper coupons?
​For most frugal people it is all too well known that using Manufacturer’s Coupons are one of the most accessible and easiest ways to save on grocery shopping.  It is like someone giving you cash to go grocery shopping, or like finding a $20 bill on your way to the grocery store; you would pick it up and use it, right?  At least, that’s how I see coupons.

However, not everybody likes couponing . . . and that’s okay.  Luckily, there are many other ways to save, and this is a list of the most common and easy ways to save on your purchases, groceries or not:

• Use your Loyal Customer Rewards Cards! — Almost all of the grocery stores offer some type of rewards system that ranges from in-store discounts, points, cash back, low-priced gasoline, and in some occasions, even free items.  Some grocery stores even offer a Manufacturer’s Coupons System that links directly to their loyalty card, so you can still benefit from coupons discounts without having to deal with the paper.  Every single benefit counts, and when you put it all together it amounts to great savings.
• Buy Online! — Online stores sell pretty much everything these days, including grocery items.  Do your numbers and make sure the prices are really better (don't forget to consider the shipping cost), and buy them online.
• Online Discount Codes! — Either you are buying online for groceries, clothing, or anything else, Never complete your transaction Before checking for Discount/Promo Codes. If you don't see the box right away, look for it, because many times it is a little bit hidden on purpose, though not 100% of the merchants offer it.  Open a separate tab on your computer, and search for ‘discount code for abc store”, or something alike.  If you don’t find any, at least you did try.

I'm a big [strike that], I'm a HUGE user of antibacterial/disinfectant spray cleaner.
I use it constantly, and in such a liberal way that I can easily go through several bottles a month, as I use it everywhere around the house, wherever there's need to clean and disinfect.

From the kitchen, to the bathrooms, to floor spills, to carpet spot-cleaning . . . you name it!  That means that buying a good quality disinfectant spray can be quite expensive, as they cost anywhere from $2 to $2.50 each.

So what do I do to save every month?
