Focus on the joy of the festivals by prioritizing spending on essential items and shared experiences rather than overspending on food. Consider preparing some dishes at home to reduce costs, or try a potluck with friends and family. Encourage sharing and collaboration to reduce individual costs. Remember, festivals like Diwali are about togetherness, and food is just one part of the celebration. Enjoy your festivities!
