What is Batch Shopping?

Basically, batch shopping is just like batch cooking. But instead of making a bunch of food all at the same time, you do a bunch of shopping {in this case, your holiday shopping} all at one time.

If you think about it, do you ever just bake 1 cookie or 1 brownie at at time? I hope not!!
Unless you are looking to extend your baking process as long as possible, you will bake a full batch of cookies and a full batch of brownies; right?

Then doesn’t the same hold true for shopping? Wouldn’t it be SO much easier to do a full “batch” of shopping all at one time and then be done? I thought so!

Speaking of cookies and brownies — I’m craving some of these!

Snack time is over — back to shopping!

How do you get started Batch Shopping?

1. Get out your holiday planner or calendar.
2. Make a list of all upcoming holiday parties {and birthdays}.
3. Make a list of supplies you need for these occasions: gifts, cards, gift wrap, etc. {this FREE download might help}
4. Set a budget of how much you will spend for each gift or for the total shopping trip.
5. Schedule a shopping day.
6. Shop ’til you drop…and don’t forget your list!

Won’t you feel organized when those holiday parties come around and your gifts are already wrapped and under the tree?
