Take a look at your calendar, the countdown to Christmas has begun! Black Friday shopping probably has many of you off to a good start on your gift buying, so to make the rest of it go more smoothly and ensure you don't blow the budget this holiday season, I suggest you check out this new BlackBerry app, Christmas Budget.
In the mad dash during this time of year, some people may lose their heads. They may also lose themselves in a spending frenzy. Your budget may be blown and Uncle Ned will end up getting a cheap pair of socks…again. If I could briefly resurrect an old Canadian Tire slogan, the app will help you “Give like Santa, save like Scrooge”. You can manage shopping lists for individuals and groups, and make certain you stay within your budget. Of course I don’t mind if you want to splurge a bit on my gift.
Features
- Countdown feature
- Password
- Create custom groups
- Set and track budgets for individual groups
The application can even track what you need to buy, or wrap, or even send. To add to the holiday chaos, the Christmas Budget includes a Christmas countdown feature. I’d rather have a chocolate Advent calendar to remind me, thank you. You can pick up Christmas Budget for $2.99 from the CrackBerry App Store.
