That's so true. Everything has become so expensive now. I'm thinking of recycling and reusing this year. Fresh paint on the diyas, mixing and matching my clothes so I can create a new look.

Hi R.Kalaivani,

You mean, you use debit card so that you do not exceed a limit? That sounds like a good idea.

I was planning to decorate my house with plants, diyas and other traditional Diwali decor stuff like torans instead of expensive lights.

Hi Manya

Rightly pointed.If I'm using debit card or cash payment Then I'll be a conscious spender atleast to an extent.I really want to cut down spending for clothes.But I'm clueless.It's already exceeding our budget.

Nice to know about your plans on torans and diyas.
