r/Frugal Black Friday & Cyber Monday Megathread

Reminder: We do not allow links to commercial products.

===========================

Welcome to the r/Frugal holiday shopping megathread! This is the place to share your best tips, tricks, and ideas for the holiday season.

• The holiday shopping season is already in full swing! All of us are on the lookout for what we need (and perhaps what we want) for the best deal. However, we may not necessarily be looking for deals on price; necessity or longevity of purchases might be most important to you. Share some of your tips for navigating the deals!
• Some of us might also be interested in reusing what we already have. In the past, people have shared their takes on unique gift-wrapping ideas or reusing packaging materials. Have another take that you want to share with the community? Share it here!
• Finally, some of us might be interested in crafting gifts instead of purchasing. Homemade gifts are some of the most thoughtful and desirable gifts of all. Got a gift you’ve given in the past that friends and relatives all rave about? Share all of them here.

Have a fun and safe happy holidays, everyone!
