Cost plan

Purchase of products

The next stage is a list of New Year's expenses. It should be divided into 2 parts. The first includes monthly expenses that will not be associated with the holiday - it's payment for utilities, Internet, medical treatment, loans, etc. But the second part is the cost of food for the holiday, drinks, gifts, etc. This list is broken down into two columns:the most necessary and what you can buy in case you have money left.

After the list is ready, compare the prices. Most people buy everything in the nearest shops, but you need to evaluate all prices in stores, specifying where and what you can buy at a discount. Yes, it will take a lot of time, but you will be able to save.

Please note! Long-lived products need to be bought a few weeks before the New Year, because before the holiday prices usually rise substantially. Such products include sweets, canned goods, alcohol, tea, coffee.

How to make a New Year's table - a big question

The most economical option for the New Year's Eve, whatever one may say, will be a home holiday with a tasty table and a sit-down at the TV.It is not necessary to cook a lot of various dishes, so that the table is bursting with food. If the money is tight, it is enough to have a couple of salads, and cooked not from exotic, but from the most ordinary products. Feel free to put home pickles on the table: tomatoes, cucumbers, mushrooms, get prepared vegetable salads. Bake a cake with homemade jam or make your own cake - this will save you money, and the quality of the table from this will not be affected at all. Give up chops, instead bake chicken in the oven - tasty and much cheaper. The holiday will be ideal if included in the program of the evening funny photo sessions, various competitions. You can have a party in costumes. To do this, you just need to show creativity and sew them yourself out of old, unnecessary things.
