Ellen Warren's Holiday Shopping Tips:

Be up front about your per gift spending limit -- and stick to it

Beat the Christmas rush, shop weekdays when sales staffers have more time to unearth frugal finds

Ask about return policy; some stores only give store credit or limit time for returns

Ask for all possible free perks including:
gift wrapping
gift card
logo shopping bag
decorative tissue paper
parking voucher
