Cut down on your holiday expenses using this reader’s Dollar Tree hack.

Raise your hand if you’ve ever carefully budgeted for a present only to realize you forgot to factor in the high price of the wrapping paper or gift bag? Between the gift wrap and the card, you can end up spending $5 – $15 dollars on top of the actual present.

Fortunately, this week’s Happy Friday reader, acgold, has a genius Dollar Tree hack that can keep the price down. This advice was so good that we had to take a break this week from sharing your deal finds and hauls, to share this money-saving tip!

“When I have something large or odd shaped to wrap I buy a Dollar Tree tablecloth! They are more economical than big rolls of wrapping paper!”

“They are very pliable, for odd shaped gifts! I even wrapped a stroller in 2! They have all kinds of patterns seasonally and always have solids! If they are a little see through, you can double them, there is enough length!”

We love this idea, acgold! 🤩 This is such a GOOD money-saving tip and your tablecloth-wrapped presents look fantastic and festive!

Packs of wrapping paper rolls at my local store cost about $4.99, so your tip will definitely help me save on gift wrapping throughout the year. With the holidays onlineing up, I’m sure I’m not the only one in the Hip onlinemunity that will be racing to the Dollar Tree this season!
