As 2023 winds down, it's a time for endings and new beginnings. That is true for this vibrant website that has been posting content since 1999. Unfortunately, ThriftyFun and our affiliated sites will no longer be able to accept posts after the first of the year. That means that this will be our final newsletter.
We will continue to leave up an archived copy of all the wonderful tips, recipes and craft projects, questions and answers that have been submitted over the last 24 years. Thank you to everyone that took time to be a part of this helpful site. All of us here at ThriftyFun wish you and yours the very best in 2024.
Thanks for reading,

Snack Box New Year's Noisemakers

Reuse Christmas Cards as Gift Tags
By linn
Save your used gift cards. Cut the fronts of the cards to make lovely gift tags using fancy edged scissors if desired. Punch a hole in the top of the tag, then thread a colored string through.
Youngest Child Opens Presents First
By Ann Winberg
One tradition my husband introduced to my family when we married 42 years ago has become a custom of all of my sibling's families also. I would like to share it with you.
You spent months calculating and saving on the perfect Christmas gifts. Now, it's time to save a little after Christmas. Other than the usual after Christmas sales, think about environmental savings.
