Choose group trips
Aside from being more enjoyable, especially when done with friends, group outings are also a smart way to save money because you can split costs and even get group discounts at events or specialized sites.
Consider indoor activities
Charity and fun begin at home as well. There are many entertaining activities you can do indoors such as karaoke, games, or in groups such as throwing a house party for a few friends and suggesting that everyone bring something to snack on for the rest of the group.
Enter giveaways
It’s the season to be cheerful, and many businesses are taking advantage of the occasion to give away a variety of freebies, event tickets, and other items. If you see anything you like in a giveaway contest, consider entering it; of course, this is just speculative because I expect there will be many entries.

You should consider having a budget for the month, this way you can allocate funds and set your spending limit for items, activities, or events you have planned out for this festive season. This will also keep track of what you’re spending your money on.
