Frugal Tip: Filling Your Stockings on a Budget

dollar tree candy for stockings

Every year our girls get a little older (of course) which means their gift requests for Christmas become a little more expensive and their list gets a little longer. Finding gifts that are what they want in our price range can be quite challenging and takes some work! But each year filling their stockings is a pretty quick and easy process. Stocking gifts are from mom and dad in our house and are usually items that they did not ask for on their Christmas list but items we know they will use- body wash, puzzles, hair accessories, coloring books, candy, etc. So each year I hit the Dollar Tree in search of all our stocking stuffer needs and I do so without breaking the bank. With each item only being a dollar, I am able to purchase 8 to 10 items for each child, spending around $25- where else can you find that kind of deal!

Dollar tree hair accessoriesDollar Tree has a large selection of hair accessories, everything from hair clips, brushes, headbands, rubber bands, and barrettes!  We have 3 girls and we are always running out of hair accessories or I am finding them in the car or on the sidewalk! So we are always in need of new ones and to get a whole pack for $1, you can’t beat that!

Be sure to throw in a few bath and beauty supplies, a girl could never have enough lotions, body wash, shower gels or body sponges!

Christmas puzzles, candy canes, over-sized snowmen pens, bell necklaces and lumps of coal are a few Christmas items that can help fill your stockings! They also have a very large selection of girls toys and boys toys- everything from dress up accessories, doll clothes, baby accessories, cars, airplanes, gooey slime and puzzles!

Dollar tree doy treatsDon’t forget to grab a few items for your four legged friend! You can snatch up anything from dog treats, collars, squeaky toys, bones and our puppies favorite- tennis balls! They even have a selection of scoopers and brushes for Fido!

Frugal Tip: Decorate Your Home on a Budget for the Holidays

Dollar Tree Budget Decorating 3

Hosting Christmas dinner can be quite expensive. By time you purchase all the gifts you need, the food and decorations you will have maxed out your holiday budget. But there are little things that you can do to help cut your out of pocket cost with simple swap outs and shopping at the Dollar Tree to snag some great savings!

dollar tree paper productsWhether you want to use paper products or washable dishes for your holiday dinner, shopping the Dollar Tree will help keep your budget on track! With their large selection of holiday paper products- cups, plates, napkins and silverware- you are sure to grab all the needed supplies. Using paper products can be great for the fact that you do not have to do any dishes after your party, just pitch all your products in the garbage!

Now if you would rather have nice dinner dishes and a more formal look for your holiday dinner, then don’t worry you can grab that as well! I found these super cute black round plates and cream and black coffee mugs to help freshen up my dinnerware. On the plus side, these are items I plan to use for our everyday use as well and paid only $1 each!

Dollar Tree Budget Decorating

Don’t forget to add a little splash of decorative flowers, tinsel or garland on just about anything to spice up your holiday decorations! It’s not about spending $40 or $50 on a new centerpiece or table runner to make your home look festive! Simply add a few touches that showcase on old piece to liven up any room!

Also add a new picture frame to the table near the front door to make your entry way warm and inviting! Plus this gives you the opportunity to show off your family to visitors during the holiday season!
