Miserly Moms: REGIFTING

REGIFTING

With the surplus of gifts that always accompanies the holidays, I have begun my regifting stack in the closet. I have written about regifting for years, and covered the do's and don'ts many times. But another blogger captured many of these tips in a great graphic. So instead of writing about regifting, I thought I would share their graphic (with their permission, of course). To see their blog please visit Gumtree.
My favorite is Rule #5. I have received several gifts that had a piece of old wrapping paper (wedding paper, actually) stuck to the side that the regifter missed, or an overlooked gift note tucked in the side of the box.

If you have no problem with regifting, enjoy these tips :)

About

Welcome to the Miserly Moms blog!

Through the use of the money-saving tips, I hope we can share resources to save money and stretch that dollar.

I believe we can do more than we think we can. I was a successful business woman with a career in Silicon Valley. After my son was born, I wanted to be at home full-time with my children. I didn’t believe that I could afford to quit, because we were living in the expensive San Francisco Bay Area, and I was bringing home 50% of our income. But I did it anyway because my family was my priority. I realized that being a stay-at-home mom was the best for my children.

I had to learn quickly how to stretch a dollar-especially in our grocery budget. I had little training in frugality, having grown up in an affluent surrounding. We didn’t sell our home or cars. Our household expenses remained the same (except those for childcare). I did my homework, learned from trial and error and the experiences of other frugal moms who had gone before me.

My books share how we cut expenses and made it work. They were written for the purpose of helping others get home. Please look for my new cookbook, Healthy Meals for Less: Healthy Tasty Meals for Less than 99 cents per serving , Frugal Families and the newly updated Miserly Moms: Living Well on Less in a Tough Economy.

Share your ideas here and let’s help each other be frugal!
