Everyone is looking for the perfect gifts for their loved ones this holiday season, but that practice can get expensive quickly. 

Connie Miller with the DeWitt Savings Bank indicates that thrift stores are a great place to browse, because you never know what you might find. Whether it's holiday decor, clothes, or other gifts you'd like to give, they are often at an extremely discounted price. 

When it comes to budgeting during the holiday season, Miller says you should start by listing all the loved ones you are getting gifts for. Then you can decide how much you would like to spend in total, and on each person. 

Miller says that if you do not have a plan to budget this holiday season, then you are planning to fail.
