Bangalore: It's that time of the year again where in a blink of an eye the festive season will be upon us. So ask yourselves if you are financially prepared? From gifts to entertaining to decorating, the money spent on the celebration adds up quickly. Especially with advertising pitches and discounted goods that often lure shoppers into unexpected purchases or holiday expenditures beyond their means. A few would have already spent their festival budget on an expensive designer costume. Don't panic because here are some interesting ways of spending your money wisely and at the same time celebrate well. Set Your Price Be in control of your wallet. Set a limit for your money so that you spend your money cautiously. This limit could be per item that you are buying, per person you are buying for, or any other way you can think of to divide up your overall holiday budget. Avoid dipping into your credit cars for any purchase. Buy things that you can buy with the cash you have. Stick to this budget you set. Don't get fascinated to the advertisements and tempting sales discounts put up in the market. They are just a strategy to drag you into excessive shopping.
