September is a great month to start planning holiday purchases. Studies show that planning can help you stay within a budget and not overspend during the holiday season. It is also a great way to stretch your dollar further by taking advantage of deals that pop up throughout the year. 

Another advantage of shopping early, particularly if you are shopping for kids' toys, is to avoid missing out on the hot picks that are sure to be on most children's lists. Shopping early also gives you time to research and find the perfect gifts without the stress of a last-minute rush.
