With the economy in the crapper and the holidays just around the corner, I though I’d highlight a few articles from around the web that are guaranteed to save you some money…

Ben talked about strategies for finding Christmas deals on eBay.

Speaking of eBay, here’s an older article on how and where to buy cheap LEGO.

Intent on giving gift cards this year? Then be sure to read this article about buying gift cards at a discount.

If you’re thinking of taking the kids out for pizza over the holidays, be sure to check out MBH’s article on conquering Chuck E. Cheese.

Finally, Ramit is on the money-saving warpath with his “Save $1000 in 30 Days” challenge. It’s not specifically holiday-related, but you can always use the money that you save to defray holiday expenses.
