]]> Christmas markets are all fun and games until you check your wallet at the end of the night and realize you spent far more money than you planned to. If you’re looking for a way to enjoy them without breaking a bank, these money-saving tips will get you there.

Have a Budget

You’re setting yourself up for a financial failure if you don’t have a budget in mind when doing your Christmas market shopping. Impulse purchases are common when the holiday spirit gets a hold of you, but knowing exactly how much money you can spend will help you make better choices.

Look Around

Before buying anything, just walk around the Christmas market and give yourself enough time to discover everything it has in store. In addition to being fun, this approach will give you enough time to ask around about prices and pick the best and most affordable things to shop for.

Save On Food

Trying food is one of the most fun parts of visiting Christmas markets, but this experience comes with a high price tag. That’s why you shouldn’t go overboard with food and drinks, and only try ones that you really like or can’t buy anywhere else but here.

]]> There’s something exhilarating about shopping in a foreign country. You usually get to find a lot of things that aren’t available back home—and many of them come pretty cheap. Even if you’re not buying anything expensive, it’s easy to go overboard once the expenses start piling up, and these three tips will help you keep things under control.

Suitcase Limit

The more things you buy, the more room it will require to pack them all up. If you’re paying extra to check your suitcase—you’re wasting money instead of saving it. Traveling with a half-empty suitcase is a good strategy, because you can wear new clothes you bought while traveling and save on baggage fees along the way.

Compare Prices

Don’t shop at the stores you already have at home, unless the prices are significantly lower. Many of the international fast-fashion stores have pretty much the same offer in every country, so there’s no need to waste precious space in your suitcase for things you can buy at home.

Set a Budget

Your shopping expenses will pile up pretty quickly, even if you’re buying cheap things. That’s why it’s always a good idea to have a budget in mind. If you’re not sure about certain items, don’t buy them until the very last days of your trip, when you know if you’re close to crossing your limit.
