Splurge: Amazon Prime
This is a splurge that's really a save, if you think about it. The service that costs $99 for a year ends up saving you money on all those last-minute gifts and things you forgot to buy and don't have time to get to the store for because there are rooms to set up and closets to clean out and food to prepare. Amazon Prime also includes free two-day shipping on more than 50 million items, plus you get access to tons of movies, TV shows, songs, and Kindle e-books.
Save: A trip to Costco
Yes, it's going to be crazy. Yes, you're going to have to wait in line. But the stuff you can't find elsewhere (or at least all in one place) will be worth it. Top of our list: Masterpiece plastic plates and Reflections Silverware. They're nicer than your average disposable stuff and you'll be grateful when you don't have to do dishes 12 times a day. And don't forget to buy lots of toilet paper, paper towels, and Chunky Artichoke & parmesan Dip (seriously, you'll be happy you did!).
