The recent downturn in the U.S. economy means that families may want to tighten their budgets. There can be a sliver lining to this situation if you shop in your own home. Many families feel they have too much clutter in our homes. So the next time you need something, look around your house and you may find that you already own what you need. Take time to clean out a closet or other storage area and you may find things you forgot you had.

Don't let lack of time stop you from organizing. There are many things you can organize with a small amount of time. Spending 15 minutes most days can yield rewarding results. Organize a drawer while you are cooking, watching TV, getting ready for bed. Organize your cell phone, palm, or purse while waiting in an office for an appointment.
Before you store this year's ornaments, think about how you used them. If you decorate a little at a time instead of all in one day, it will save you time to organize decorations by category. For example, if you put everything you need for your fireplace mantle in one container, you can decorate that easily in one evening. You won't have to get everything out to do it. Choose containers that fit your needs; consider what you need to store and where you will store it. Label your containers so that what you need will be easy to retrieve when you decorate for the holidays next year.
Gift cards are often the perfect gift; however, be aware that a gift card may have an expiration date. Some cards even have an administrative or maintenance fee which results in periodic reduction in card value. Also, if you use the card and the remaining balance is below a certain amount (for example, $2) the card may be void for future use.
