BANGALORE: The festival of lights is just round the bend and every retailer is trying its best for wooing the customers. But being extravagant and indulgent during this season of festivities may cost you dearly later. Here are some tips that will help you keep your expenses in check.

Diwali is a time for celebrations with family and friends. You want to spruce your home up and are longing for a break from your monotonous life. The last thing you want to think about during this time is a budget, but then you also don't want to find yourself debt-ridden once Diwali is over.

Here are some of the tips to celebrate Diwali without any tensions regarding debt:

1. Buy your clothes online

Instead of going to the expensive stores in malls this festive season, check out deals available online. With e-commerce burgeoning in India, e-tailers are competing among themselves to sweeten the deal for the customer.

So don't miss out on this opportunity of getting some great deals on clothes and accessories online. Also, if you are using your credit card for such purchases, watch out if you can save some extra money on cash back offers.
