Common Pujo shopping mistakes
| Mistake | Better |
|---|---|
| Ordering in the last week | Order 2–3 weeks before |
| New shoes on Ashtami night | Break them in before Pujo |
| Heavy fabrics in humid weather | Cotton and light silks |
| No umbrella | Rain is common — carry one |
| Forgetting Kali Puja and Bhai Phonta | Plan them together |
Budget by category
| Category | Share of budget |
|---|---|
| Clothes for family | Largest share |
| Gifts (Pujor jama) | Next |
| Home décor | Smaller |
| Food and outings | Keep some aside |
A simple split stops the first day's shopping from using up the whole budget.
