sunflowerstateradio.com🎙️ Make a Plan for Holiday SpendingThe holiday shopping season is getting longer and has expanded into what is widely called "holiday creep" which starts as early July and continues through the Super Bowl. Right now, it's a mix of Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas. While this gives consumers more time to plan seasonal celebrations, Kansas State University Family Systems Specialist, Elizabeth Kiss, (kish) says it also increases the chance to overspend. She encourages consumers to make a spending plan that accounts for the holidays and events that occur over the next three or four months.
