Video Transcript

"Hello my name is Melissa Schenk on behalf of Expert Village, today we're going to be talking about how to cut down on holiday spending. In our final segment on being cost effective with your holiday spending, let's finally talk about gift wrap; pricey gift wrap. You can skip it if you so desire. If you think about it, sometimes the gift wrap can cost almost as much as some of the gifts you're buying themselves. So you can still have perhaps some of the pricey, you know foily gift wrap because when you're thinking about gift wrap you've got ribbons and bows and tape of course. But think about the gifts that people give you and all of those bags and the holiday bags that people give you through the years, you can save them. Save the tissue, especially when you're wrapping you want some stuffing for the bottom of your bag. You can use all of that extra tissue paper in the bottom. Perhaps get a few new sheets of new fancy tissue paper, jazz up a bag that is from the past. So think about recycling things from the past, not only is it good for the environment, but it will be good for your pocketbook as well."
