The holiday season can prove an exercisein nancial exibility for many families. Whilethe spirit of the season centers around faith andfamily, it’s easy for families to overdo it whenit comes to holiday shopping. Parents can eas-ily nd themselves expanding their budgets toensure their kids get everything on their wish

list, while fellow shoppers may easily get lost innding the perfect gift for family and friends.While overspending might be a holiday tra-

dition in many families, it’s no doubt the mostcostly as well. Credit cards often allow shop-

pers to overspend on holiday shopping, makingJanuary a cringe-worthy month for shopperswho put too much on plastic during the holidaysand get the bills the next month. It’s always bestto avoid overspending, but there are ways shop-pers can extend their budget during the holidayseasons.

* Look for “no interest” deals. “No interest”deals are not necessarily hard to nd, but theymight be a bit of a misnomer. Larger retailerssometimes offer no interest nancing for 12 or18 months on items that cost above a certain

dollar amount. But these deals are only “interestfree” for the designated time frame. This meansno interest will be charged if the balance is paidin full (there’s often a minimum monthly pay-ment) before the 12 or 18 months is up. How-ever, if the balance is not paid in full, shopperswill be responsible for all interest that accrued

over that 12- or 18-month period. These “no in-terest” deals are a great way to extend a holidaybudget, but shoppers should make certain theypay the balance off before the grace period isup.

Black Friday is one of the busiestshopping days of the year. Every yearthousands of shoppers ock to areamalls and shopping centers in the weehours of the morning attempting to getthe best deals on their holiday gifts.Because shopping with the crowdsand sales can be confusing, setting a“Black Friday” shopping strategy canadd some organization to the chaos.

Visions of Black Friday shoppingmay call to mind frenzied shoppers

beating down the doors of area storesto get heavily reduced prices at theregister. This day of bargain basementdeals certainly will bring out scores of people, but there is a way to managethe mayhem.

* Make a shopping list. Think aheadof time about what to look for. Know-ing what will be bought can help shop-pers determine which stores to visit.It helps to only choose one or morestores at which to shop instead of

traveling all over and getting caughtin trafc.

* Preview ads a week in advance.Many stores will start advertisingtheir Black Friday hours and somesneak peaks at sales a week or morein advance. There could also be some“spoiler” Web sites that leak informa-tion about Black Friday sales. Shop-pers can know what’s available andplan their shopping accordingly. Also,some stores have “rules” to follow,such as wristband dispersal or a num-bering system, for shoppers to avoidcrowds rushing the doors.

* Start saving early. While dealsare to be realized on Black Friday,

that doesn’t mean it’s wise to blow theentire budget on this day alone. Savemonths or weeks in advance to be pre-pared for shopping this day. Set a limiton what is to be spent -- heading homeafter the money is gone.

* Get rest. Set an early schedule forThanksgiving revelry so that it’s pos-sible to head home early enough torest. Those who plan to do Black Fri-day shopping should head to bed early

enough, considering many sales beginat 4 a.m.

* Eat a hearty breakfast. Shoppersshould be sure to eat breakfast sothey’ll have enough energy to survivethe morning shopping.

* Pack a lunch or snack. Chancesare fast food restaurants and foodcourts will be mobbed on Black Fri-day. Avoid some of the crowds bypacking food in a bag and bringingit along. It will save time and money.Why not make a sandwich of that left-over turkey?

* Wear comfortable clothing.Crowded stores tend to be hot andchaotic. Dress in layers so that outer

layers can be removed. Try to leavebulky coats at home because they canbe a nuisance while shopping. Shop-pers should also wear very comfort-able shoes for long hours of walking.

* Be sure to know stores’ returnpolicies. Even the best-laid plans mayresult in one or two gifts that needto be returned. It pays to know whatstores will take back discounted itemsbought during Black Friday.

It is the season of giving. So whynot give back to the planet in the pro-cess?

During the holidays, people canmake an effort to select environmen-tally responsible gifts as well as cel-ebrate in green ways.

The green movement has changedthe way individuals shop for every-thing, from clothes to cars. It makessense that these green sensibilities maycarry over into the way people shopfor holiday gifts. For those thinking of going green for the holidays, considerthese gift ideas.

* Water saving showerhead: Put to-gether a gift basket of spa items for thebathroom, including organic body oils,

sea salt scrubs, authentic loofa sponge,and a new showerhead that conserveswater usage during every shower.

* Rechargeable batteries: Chancesare the youngsters will still be request-ing electronics this year, including por-table handheld video games. Ensuregame play is green with rechargeablebatteries instead of disposable ones.

* Bamboo cutting board: Treat theconsummate host or hostess to a bam-

boo cutting board that can easily dou-

ble as a cheese and crackers platter forentertaining.

* Reusable travel mug: Probablysomeone on the gift list is a coffeefanatic and must get his or her dailyll of java each day. Disposable foamcups are dangerous to the environ-ment, so a personalized or engravedinsulated travel mug can keep coffeewarm on the way to work.

* Push mower: Give that handymanor lawn guru a push reel mower thatdoesn’t spew noxious emissions ormake a lot of noise. Mowing the lawnwith a manual mower is also a greatform of exercise.

* Reusable shopping bag set: Somepeople are born to shop. They can do

it in a green way with a collection of stylish reusable tote bags to carry gro-ceries or the latest fashions.

* Solar powered device charger:Charge phones and other devices withthe power of the sun instead of usingexpensive electricity.

* Gifts that grow: A gift comprisedof plant seeds, ower pots, a pottedfruit tree or any collection of live plantswill be the gift that grows green.

Green gift guide: 8 ideas for green giftsDuring a season when it seemsmore emphasis is placed on receivinggifts than doing much giving, chil-dren can learn the benefits of doingwork that benefits others. Volunteer-ing or other philanthropic endeavorscan teach important life lessons andhelp kids feel good about themselves

in the process.According to radio host and rabbiShmuley Boteach, “When we don’tgive kids responsibilities, we pay theprice. Kids can become lazy and com-placent and too self-focused. Volun-teering and giving back prevents thatand helps others.”

There are many ways children canget involved, whether working along-side their parents or doing activitiesall on their own. Here are some age-appropriate volunteer ideas.

5 to 8: Children of this age tendto like doing things with their hands.

ctivities that foster this enjoymentare beneficial to all. Ideas for kids toconsider include working at a soupkitchen or helping parents deliverfood to needy individuals. They canalso be an asset at a senior center,playing board games with the elderlywho may not have grandchildren of

their own.9 to 13: Adolescents can partake

in volunteer work that enables themto be a bit more independent. A goodidea is for kids to volunteer to dowork around the neighborhood fordifferent neighbors. Perhaps some-one needs help maintaining the frontlawn. Someone else may appreciatesnow shoveling services. Older chil-dren can help shop for groceries forhouse-bound individuals.

14 and up: Teenagers can do activi-ties that fit with their ideals. Maybethey want to help clean up a beach ora park. Others can help renovate anabandoned lot into a skateboard park

Playing board games with seniors isa form of volunteerism for children.

Ways children can be philanthropic
