And the number one way to save money that actually wasted money was – plant a garden. This was followed by people saying that vegetable gardens cost them more money than they saved because it cost them $40 to grow one tomato and that vegtable gardening is a waste of money. On the one hand I tend to agree because growing a vegetable gardening to save money is playing the long game. Save this idea to your Pinterest Boards for later! Share it with your friends!

14 Budget Friendly Hostess Christmas Gifts

hostess gift ideas under twenty dollarsHusband and I are lucky we have so many friends and family who want to include us in their celebration and I am truly grateful for that.

In fact, so many of our friends like to host Christmas and New Year’s parties that we have to practically do a conference call and create a December holiday party schedule so our parties will not overlap.

That is a nice problem to have.

Although it presents a challenge when it comes to buying gifts for our hosts that won't break the bank since there are so many of them.

You too?

I can help with that!

Yesterday while I helped Santa fill my family’s Christmas wish list (I'm tight with the Big Guy. We have an agreement.) I created a video gift guide of the  fabulous hostess gifts I found at BJ’s Wholesale Club.

The best part? All of the hostess gifts in my gift guide cost less than $20 each!
