Have you got any other ideas for frugal stocking stuffers? What do you normally add to stockings?
GREAT list!!! The moustache stickers sent me over the edge, LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I’d get them and put them up without telling my moustachio’d husband – it would probably take him a while to notice, but I’d be laughing the whole time!
Aren’t they hilarious!?
I have always couponed and joined every sample website available in Canada. I start in January ordering free samples, work all sales, coupon for the best deals and never ever use a credit card for Christmas. This way I can not only do stocking stuffers for the kids and grandkids but also contribute to my church and the local food bank. At church I am given scrapes if wool (1/2 skein or more) and throughout the year as I accumulate the wool I knit slippers for the local woman’s shelter.
Gold chocolate coins, are a given in our family!
And a Loonie
Chocolate letters,
maybe some wine.lol and a lump of coal….
