Tip #28: Does anyone commonly ask you what you or your family wants for Christmas? Or do you like giving gifts that save money for the recipient year-round? Consider these Christmas gift ideas that keep on saving.
• an Entertainment coupon book
$30 or so on the front-end can easily save hundreds throughout the year.
• a large toaster oven
An oven in a busy kitchen often consumes the second largest chunk of energy money next to the furnace. With its smaller size and zero preheating time, a double-tray toaster oven can significantly reduce that bill for somewhere in the range (no pun intended) of $100.
• passes to local museums & other attractions
What is more fun than taking off to the museum on the spur of the moment? That's quite possible with a membership pass. Family passes often pay for themselves in less than 3 visits.
• time-saving cookbooks
Cookbooks are a popular gift idea, but the ones focused specifically on time-saving meals can save the most money over the long-term. It's always the times when we are stressed, hurried, or sick when we want to blow our grocery budget on dining out. Meals that only require 5-10 minutes of hands-on prep time could save $30 with each use.
