April 4, 2008, Newsletter Issue #52: Frugal Christmas Storage Ideas

Tip of the Week

Many people might not store their Christmas decorations the appropriate way because of the money that must be spent to purchase all of the items needed to store them.  If this is the case for you, you may want to take heed of some of these frugal ideas for Christmas storage.

If you don't want to spend the money on Christmas ornament storage containers, you can always stop at the grocery or liquor store and request boxes for free that had wine stored in them. These boxes come with individualized compartments in which you can place Christmas ornaments that have been wrapped in padding.  Just make sure to store these boxes in a place where little pests and water can't get to them.

If purchasing a wreath storage bag or box is out of the question, simply place your wreath in a large garbage bag then cinch it at the top and store it for next year. 

Another important tip to remember as far as Christmas lights go, if you find a set of lights that quit working during a current Christmas season, make sure to just throw those away otherwise you may end up putting them next year forgetting they don't work.

Making Christmas decoration storage work for your financial situation is important.  If money is an issue, you can always use these tips to help preserve your Christmas decorations safely.
