In December, the weather is starting to get cooler and Christmas is right around the corner. If you are trying to save money on produce, the best thing to do is buy what’s in season, especially in the winter.

This may mean learning to eat things like kale, but there are lots of great recipes available online and it can be fun to try out new things. There are also some staples on sale including potatoes, onions, and carrots, though, if you are feeling less adventurous.

While we are seeing many good deals on items for Christmas now, keep in mind that prices will get better the closer we get to Christmas. For example, toys tend to be at their best prices two weeks before Christmas. You can also get Christmas decorations for a fraction of the price if you can wait until right after Christmas and stock up for next year!

Here is a list of what to buy in December if you’re looking to get the most for your money!
