  1. I like to buy solid red paper napkins, especially when they are on sale. They can be used for multiple holidays throughout the year.

  2. I think things really are different. Not only are prices significantly higher, but also package sizes are a lot lower in many cases. So they get you coming and going. I also notice that my beloved clearance rack doesn’t have that many deals because 1/2 off a really high prices is still pretty high. For example I scored some great pumpkin bread mix but it was still $2.50, which in other years would have been close to full price.

    That said, downsizing the holidays is a good idea and you can make a lot of merry without spending a ton! Thanks for the roundup and links – they are really handy. 🙂
