How to have a festive & frugal holiday season (w/ Joanne Garneau)

Joanne Garneau, founder of DebtTalk and The Frugality Game, shares ways to truly enjoy the holidays without going into debt.

Start now w/ simple cost cutting (you could save $250 by limiting eating out for a month).

Reduce travel expenses through technology, taking turns traveling, flexibility and carpooling.

At parties, share homemade food items instead of expensive wine or a gift basket.

Get more creative (and more meaningful) with gift-giving. Plan ahead and set a budget. Have fun hunting for bargains. Give homemade gifts, photos or cards.

Have a happy and debt-free holiday!
