For many consumers, celebrating Easter has become an increasingly expensive proposition. But for others, it has turned into an opportunity to flex their money-saving muscles — even to the point of stuffing socks and underwear in those holiday baskets.
At least that’s how Sarah Rubino of Los Angeles, a mother to two boys, is approaching the springtime holiday coming up this Sunday. Rubino says she’s aiming to economize as much as possible — and that means everything from buying lower-priced candy in bulk to reusing baskets from previous Easters.
And, yes, she plans to include some necessities among this year’s offerings, including socks and underwear. Rubino said she’ll tie the clothing items up with a colorful ribbon to “make sure it fits with the aesthetic.” She adds that she’s not worried her boys will balk at the idea.
